De La Puente is the center and he started all last season...

Just noticed you said 2010, why are we worried about 2010 again?

Someone else mentioned it, and I agree 1000%. The man and his wife just had a baby. Anybody who's been through that knows that it'll wear a couple out, and no offense to the ladies, but there's a lot of stress on the man too.

So that, coupled with the fact that Drew doesn't need an entire half of work, combined with what Halo said about being road-weary, Drew should have never even been on the field in my humble opinion.

He just got paid $100 million. his stress levels outside of football should be non existent. I know he is not worried about how he is going to pay for the hospital bill or if he can buy diapers before his next pay check

I'm guessing you don't have kids, man. Having a baby is a huge deal and if you haven't had one, or been close to someone who had one, then you don't know. You could have $1 or $100 million in the bank, it doesn't matter -- it is still one of the biggest, most stressful events that can happen in a person's life.

He gets paid(a lot) to play.

CheramieIII · 08-19-2012, 11:25 AM

He's OK and the lineman should take a lesson from this that if you're the one that lets someone hurt Drew your career is over in New Orleans

He's not paid for preseason. Drew is a known quantity. He should get some work, but he shouldn't be risked when the bullets aren't real BECAUSE he gets paid a lot of money.

That makes two us us Joe. I cringe every time i see the protection break down

Still not concerned it's preseason. This is just fancy practice.
