Who gets the nod this year? Brown or Tennant?

When we are finally able to start signing our own players I wonder who the FO is going to find expendable between Bushrod and Goodwin? If you had to choose between the two and had to replace one who would you rather have protecting Brees?
This could be Matt Tennants year or it could be Charles Browns year to start. The FO has to have a preference who is yours?

I believe both come back and start. With that said, if you made me choose, even though he's probably our weakest starter, I'd retain Bushrod because centers are easier replaced. I also wouldn't be comfortable just handing Brown the starting LT job coming off injury... and due to the fact besides college film and scouting reports, we really don't know much about him.

From what I've read Tennant would be an acceptable replacement.

I think it would be easier for Brown to start before Tennant.

I still think that Goodwin is a good centre and the centre position is really built upon smarts and checks made at the line between goodwin and drew.

They both will be back I'd say.
