Brown is definitely a not above Bushrod. Jermon played huge for us but we always had to give him help. He was much more disciplined than Brown has been in the past though and that was my big knock on Brown.

If we could find a way to keep all of our o-line including depth we would have 4 tackles I would be confident with in the game. Strief has been solid whenever he's had to carry the load also. Cap wise and other needs in mind, we should use one of the two to fill other more pressing needs.

I think the Saints are actually in pretty good shape... personnel wise.

bushrod is terrible

with brown it would allow us to leave that side of the line almost completely unprotected. he could do it all by himself. bushrod needs help on nearly every single play and that takes away from the packages, the protection schemes and the routes that we can actually run

a TE and RB are always delayed on their routes with bushrod in because they need to chip block first before they go out on their routes

jermon bushrod isnt the run blocker and clearly isnt the pass blocker that brown is.

he hasnt held his own, he hasnt been above average and he certainly isnt underrated

its hard to imagine why anybody thinks he had a good season other than the fact that we won the super bowl. however, this season is not indicative of how bushrod played.

if Brown was not hurt we could have had 4 out of 5 probowlers on the o-line

CantonLegend · 02-10-2010, 12:23 PM

oh yea.....bushrod will not be back......we can leave that position empty on the field and it will still block better than bushrod

I will throw this into the debate.

Brown? Bushrod? Or if no uncapped year Julius Peppers as a trade?

He is clearly looking for a new home.

peppers will not come to new orleans because we cant afford him. besides, he wouldnt want to play weakside DE anyway. remember that will smith had a better season than him

Difficult. Monster Ware smacked Bushrod but Bushrod is learning fast. Possibly with help, Bushrod did very well in the playoffs.

Not so fast. He held Mathis to nada, zit, nothing

Brown is much better than Bushrod. If Bushrod can go somewhere else and get paid better then good luck. However, after saying that I have to say that if Brown had been starting I wonder if we would still be the World Champions? How many false starts or holding calls by Brown have stalled drives for us in the past? LT in my opinion could still be upgraded. Let's shop him around and see what we can get for Brown.
