Faine was replaced by Goodwin. Nesbit was replaced by a rookie named Carl Nicks. Brown and now has been replaced by Bushrod and Strief. I forgot who Evans replaced but he started while still inexperienced also. Stinchcomb has pretty much been the consistent on the line. Because of our system, regardless of their flaws, we're still a powerhouse offense as we're able to get the most out of our players at the position. |

while brown was good for a few penalties every year, he was our best lineman and many of you think that evans has been our best lineman, but evans has fallen off a bit and because of the pressure and responsibility of the LT position, brown has come out as the most important and best lineman on the team
sure its a big deal if we lose vilma because we dont have a solid backup.....but its not a big deal because we lose the second most important position in all of football? im sorry but you are wrong here |

Re: Saints put LT BRown on IR
I can not stand it any more! the left tackle issue! I have been waiting for this! No I wont do it
![]() Considering Bushrod has played in three games at LT I would grade him out as not bad. But i would keep assigning back up help on the left side. watch the RB on passing plays. Their first check down is almost always to Bushrods side. Marques Douglas and Vernon Gholston are on tabs for next week. They do not worry too much. David Harris worries me! splitting the gap. He has blitzing like crazy this year. |

Re: Saints put LT BRown on IR
I don't see where there is much that can be done now. Brown is on IR and can't come back this season, so they have to go with Bushrod. I just hope he is healthy because he had to come out of the game last week.

Re: Saints put LT BRown on IR
Both Bushrod and Strief has played well. A couple of sacks given up were on Brees for holding the ball too long. For Bushrod to equal Brown in preventing a couple sacks, all he has to do is grab hold of the jersey like Brown does and back us up 10 yards. Brown is a great RT and just slightly above average LT in my opinion. Now with all this said I think we know what should be targeted in the draft next year.

We may target a LG, if we move Nicks to LT. My guess is we re-sign Brown and he continues to play above-average LT for us for several more years. |

Re: Saints put LT BRown on IR
I think any player can play good one set of downs and get burned the next set no matter how good her or she is
Sapp never got to the QB every play Rice never made a TD every time he caught the ball Remember any given Sunday By the way is that a dead horse I smell |
