Well, if the season continues as it has to this point - at least Nicks won't be making the pro bowl. Nicks has definitely had some bad plays during the first part of the season, but I'm finding it hard to blame Nicks (or Evans for that matter) for the problems with the O-line.

The main problem has been with and caused by the tackles, while the constant state of flux with the center position has not helped things out either. Because of that, I'm hoping the Saints are able to sign Nicks to a fairly long contract, since changing the other guard for next year would be another new part to the O-line with - hopefully - at least a new RT.

Bushrod is a matter of his own, but neither Strief or Brown seem to be the answer at the RT, because I don't think Strief was very convincing before he got injured. RT and OLB should be the main focus of next year's draft, and hopefully the sub-par performances of this season will bring Nicks' price down a little for a very affordable contract.
