Saints shopping some RFA's

Rugby Saint II · 02-24-2010, 10:38 AM

Strief has become a valuable chess piece for Payton and is used in multiple sets and positions so I don't see him going anywhere. Brown is well known by fans for his holding calls and false starts. Bushrod was was adequate in his first year as a starter, but was he good enough to supplant Brown?

It is hard to say how well Bushrod did this year because they provided him with a lot of help. I don't know that I would want him protecting Drew's blind side all season again. It minimizes our weapons when we have to have Strief play tight end or we use a back to chip for Bushrod.

Why not move Stinc over to the left side? Brown is going to want BIG money and I just see him being worth it. Tender him as a 1st rd an hope someone grabs him. If not, cut your losses next year unless a trade comes along.

no its not......you answered it yourself

he needed way too much help to have a good season

bushrod had a terrible year and even when he got help he still got beat often......thats a terrible year and im confident that the coaching staff and front office knows this as well

oh and you dont cut your losses if the loss is a pro bowl LT that gets 5 penalties a year and helps make drew brees the least sacked QB in the league
