Re: How comfortable are you with Bushrod now?

I give him a B-. I agree on his lack of quickness, and also his footwork needing more coaching. He seems to lumber alot, not really getting off the line as quick as he needs too. Brees works at his best inside the pocket, so his protection is essential at all costs.

I know I'm going to get yelled at, but I also think that Brees should be a little more prone to running for it, than he has been. In that Dallas game I saw a couple of plays where the middle of the lines opened up, and he could have scrambled for at least ten yards. I'm not saying get himself hurt mind you, but it IS an option. Just slide in for it...

You're dead on the money here Saintpaul25. Just one or two scrambles for first down can make all the difference in freezing guys a second or two to keep them honest, instead of them pinning their ears back and going for broke.

Bushrod: He was a wall during that Patriots drubbing, but he needs Shockey or the FB of the day to help him out.
