Kreutz was done from the start.Im sure some backups never get the chance till an injury..but thats how some of the hard head coaches realize they were wrong..kinda like what happened here..

how do i know? DLP was playing worse than kreutz. if the coaches were more impressed by DLP then he wouldve remained the starter even after kreutz returned from his concussion.

Again go back and watch...DLP was playing better..i think the coaches gave Kreutz a chance and well.. he blew it...no push except for into Drew..I think he was bench bound and split because of it..all this i lost passion is for the birds...only thing he lost was his starting job..

go back and watch what? the games that i already watched so i come back with the same opinion you have? DLP was our worst run blocker when he was in next to charles brown. the only reason he wasnt our worst pass protector is because brown and bushrod have played abismally the past few games.

he didnt lose his starting job. the only thing that suggests that is a group of fans that are trying to find drama in nothing

The worst?..not at center which is where he is heading...you said earlier the pressure was coming from the outside...and i agree..DLP..did fine with the exception of a few plays.

And he is all we got right now..so you better start warming up to him..lol..

I was there live Canton endzone seats ..so i got a good look when Kreutz initially went down...and then i watched DLP...and thought.. oh no here we go!...but that didnt happen and we went on to beat the Texans...I really find it odd, that our only 2 losses were with Kreuts at center...kinda strange huh..

congrats on going to the game. ive still only ever been to a few preseason games. however watching from home on TV i actually get to see the zoomed in version of tge game. while going to the game offers a better atmosphere, you really dont get a better view of the line

I thought that to...but from the endzone seats...you really mainly see the O-Linemen ..especially when they have their backs to you ..which is when Kreutz happen to go down... the skill players from that view tend to get out of sight once the play starts.

so as the team moves down the field wouldnt everyone move out of sight?

when teams review game films on monday or tuesday you think they watch from the endzones or from the broadcast view?

when the saints played in the hall of fame game i actually got to see the pictures that the QBs are always seen looking at on the sidelines of the previous plays. pics that drew and company actually held in their hands. guess where they were taken from?

My guess, and that's all any of us have right now is a guess, is that after the Tampa Bay loss, DLP was about to upgrade to a first-row seat and Kreutz thought that 14-years experience was all he would need to remain the starter. DLP beat him out and therefore the quote about not hanging around to collect a paycheck.

Canton, you've got a good eye, and you've been around this board a lot longer than I, but what I've learned is that it's okay to be contrary when speaking your mind as long as you follow up somewhere down the line with a playful post or something that keeps you likable or respectable.

Give "likes" and you'll probably start receiving "likes".

Anyway...

It's GAMEDAY, so it all starts over tonight!!!

HERE WE COME, TA GE' CHU!!!!
