Article on the Saints offensive line

Nicks is probably a little more talented overall than Grubbs, but Grubbs was easily the best free-agent OG available this offseason. Doesn't hurt that we paid much less than Nicks was demanding.

The O-line looks like a sturdy group to me, if a little lacking in depth. Center is particularly worrisome, I guess Matt Tennant will start?

I would guess De La Puente would start again this year. The line really seemed to come together when he took over for Kreutz. But that may be as much of a testament to how bad Kreutz was.
