He also handled Mario Williams in the preseason. Streif and Nicks are monsters...just worried about fast edge rushers but Brown may not have been able to move out on them either this year.

I'm with you on Bushrod, Deuce ... but we need to bring someone in. Who's available or did we cut anyone who's worth anything?

i cant believe the statements im reading about bushrod.......maybe im the only person who thinks hes been terrible

our line has given up 4 sacks without brown in only 3 games and it should've been a lot worse than that......just by watching the saints/eagles highlights you can tell how poorly bushrod played.....and thats supposed to be a highlight video

Aren't you the guy who thought Aaron Stecker was a really good running back?

Haha I'm just messing with you Canton...

But seriously, Bushrod has played very well. He's not Jamaal Brown, but he's damn close according to the first few games of this season.

no......i know you're just joking but i never said stecker was a great running back.......i just said he was my favorite player......i knew he was a career backup but he was asked to do a lot when injuries were killing us and he came through......he was a major part of rebuilding our team and he never got the credit he deserved IMO

since many think bushrod has played well, lets consider the game footage.....actually lets not even look at the game footage, lets just look at a highlight video that is supposed to show HIGHLIGHTS

NFL Videos

he gets beat on the first play of this highlight....he then gets beat on the first play of the part about reggie

then at 1:52 he gets beat again, then at 2:32 he gets beat again

then at 3:04 his man gets through and causes a fumble

then at 3:25 he gets beat by a DT and gets away with a hold

this is a small sample of how bushrod has played overall.....and this was against the lions front 4

Losing Brown is certainly a blow, but I'm with Deuce. While Bushrod and Strief aren't on the same level with Brown, I think they can do an adequate enough job that our offense can maintain what we're currently doing. With Strief now completely healthy, we can have a solid rotation between the two so that neither wears down towards the end of the season... which would be my biggest concern.

Now while a couple my view Bushrod as "terrible" (just like Goodwin *cough*) and Strief as a solid backup, as of right now, we still have the number one offense in the league. Not only are we passing the ball with great efficiency, our rushing attack currently is one of the league's best. Pretty good for a line who a couple may view as far inferior to the likes of New England and Indy.

Heck, just keep putting Strief into the game as a TE and line him up on the left side next to Bushrod.

Which is working beautifully, by the way!

Belichick and the interchangeable parts program. Build the team like the best in the business and they will respond. Busrod and Streif will work out. Worried about the depth now, but, run baby run...

offensive tackles arent interchangeable....a good offensive line makes skill players interchangeable but not the other way around

the pats offensive line has been the most consistant piece of their team throughout the years....dont confuse their team with our team

we have not yet created that kind of stability
