Who Would You Start?

I would leave the starting line up alone at this point of the season but I would like to see this set on a third and medium distance (3 to 5).

RWR - David Patten
RTE - Billy Miller
RT - Jammal Brown
RG - Jahri Evans
OC - Jeff Faine
LG - Jon Stinchcomb
LT - Zach Strief
LTE - Eric Johnson
LWR - Marques Colston

QB - Drew Brees
RB - Reggie Bush

Two TE set. With Miller, Brown and Evans teamed together on the right the defense will have to over play to that side of the line to defend the run. The line up on the left is more mobile and open up a rolling pocket option to defend against. With Colston and Johnston to that side the safety would have to deside which way to play. Along with the WLB. At the least it would force the defense to burn a time out.

As far as this debate goes at center I would leave it alone. Chemistry between the man under center and the center is a personal thing. Brees wants his hands under Faine's butt more than Goodwin's so be it. But Goodwin deserves to get some time playing time. Last 2 year all these Goodwin lovers, hated him and did not want to see him play. Now he can do wrong. He is the same player he always has been, a solid and almost starter quality back up. Worth every penny he gets paid.

On defense I would give Young the position of #2 for the rest of the year. Rotating David on the field as the #3 and the #1 back up to both M&M and Young. Him and Craft would be all over the field to keep players fresh. Thomas? Got me. What happened to him? He and Mech must be hanging out a lot together.
Hollis would start but a solid rotation is needed to give the big guy a breather. You want him fresh for the 4th.
Simmons deserves to see the field more especially on passing downs. Well the way teams have been playing us every down is a passing down.
