Everyone,

I was in absolute shock as everyone else was but I gotta say the problems I see are much more specific than I've been reading on the net.

To me it comes down to the O-line and specifically to the Tackles. The Guards for the most part were fine, the new Center is serviceable. But damn we got ate up on the edge with our Tackles. Brown/Bushrod.

That led to everything else. It led to the lack of a run game, very little time for Brees to find #2 & #3 and him having to hurry other throws (never good), the O coming off the field way too quickly and then in turn the D' having to be out there too long.

Fix that, and you have a different outcome yesterday, and probably a much different record this year.

One question, are our starting tackles also in on punts? B/C if they blew that protection then it just bolsters my argument. I can't find anywhere that shows who the punt personnel is though so I'm not sure.

Thanks!
