O Line and disappearing protection

I'm not worried about the O-line as long as they don't blow their assignment and get Brees beheaded. Grubbs I feel will give the run game a edge but the team he came from was not pass happy like us, so until I get to see him in action in the pass happy O we have it will be hard to tell, but I think he will be great , it might take a little while for the O to gel.

Well, hopefully they'll use that Grubbs' superior run blocking to call some more off the guard run plays to the left side of the line.

On top of joining an offensive line that is already pretty good at protecting the quarterback, I expect that Grubbs pass protection will be considered significantly better just because of the change in quarterbacks that he's blocking for.

It's common knowledge that Flacco holds on to the ball way too long and he's only slightly more mobile than the new Gleason statue in front of the Dome. That, in and of itsel,f has to make an offensive linemans life harder. By contrast, Drew has fantastic pocket presence. Sometimes he seems to have eyes in the back of his head

(if you happen to read this Roger Goodell, it was only a joke Drew Brees does NOT have eyes in the back of his head. There's no reason to suspend him)
