Re: Saints Offer J. Brown for #2 update on pg 19!!!

then why are we offering him in a trade if he is our starting left tackle..

one reason is he is better suited to play right tackle.. everyone knows this.. second reason, he is a lil overrated.. he gets some hype b/c he was a first round pick who has played pretty well at times.. but he does get the jitters and likes to jump.. and his pass blocking has been below par when going up against the faster DEs..

in 2006, when he made the probowl.. i was kinda shocked.. i didnt think he deserved to go.. i think he rode the coattails of the other saints who were making plays all over the field and he got some of the reward for it when he didnt really deserve it.. colston deserved to go in 2006 more then brown..

y dont u just say they both deserved to go?....but thats not the argument at hand.....yes he is a little overrated b/c he was a 1st round pick...but i think he is less overrated and more overhyped because of the overall talent of the saints offense.....nobody will argue how explosive and dominating the saints offense can be at times....while he may be suited better at RT...there is nobody on our team now that can step up and be a better LT....so until someone steps up...MAYBE STREIF...in the future....brown will start and u cant be mad about that

i think that the FO thinks that Strief can replace Brown with not much of a dropoff...

because unlike almost any other team in the NFL, we have the luxury of being able to easily replace our left tackle with a more than adequate substitute.
