What happened to Carl Nicks?

He went and got rich(er).

Carl should buy a Golden Corral franchise...

...with all that extra Lollipop and Rainbows Money, he could offset his losses when Cousins Sed, Will, Cam and his Uncles Sully and Chuck come in to eat each and every day and talk about their potential...

They were obviously trying to shove Nicks in our faces by runnning the ball so darn much on that goal line stand, the same way that San Diego tried to shove Meachem in our faces with trying to force throw him TD's. Didn't work this time, thanks for the "W" Carl, we'll take it.

nicks cares less about the game, in it for the cash. i'll say this he won't have a 13 year career, when his pockets are full enough hes out.

He couldn't/didn't help the Bucs get 1.5 yds for a TD!

Either the Saints defense isn't that bad, or Nicks isn't that good!

I think it is the later!

I agree. When Nicks was here we hardly ever ran behind him. We mostly run behind Evans and screen to Nicks side. I never thought of him as a great run blocker.

He was a very good guard for us and still will be, but as stated, Brees makes even bad o-linemen look decent and good ones great. Not a huge down grade in my opinion with Grubbs. We do need to upgrade the OT's though. They are weak.

Think of how good Drew would be if he had two above average OT's that gave him even more time. Blows my mind.

Why is center a position of need? Did we give upon de la Puenta? Nicks may have made him look better or feel more comfortable. I know the pocket is getting pushed back but I didn't know that Grubbs graded out that well.

I just want to know if you guys saw Hicks vs Nicks...

Hicks killed him. I have re-watched the game twice and when Hicks was in there he dominated the line and dominated Nicks. I thought Hicks was going to be good at some point but the guy is awesome now and needs to be the starter.
