6. New Orleans Saints (1)
PB – 8th, RB – 7th, PEN – 4th Stud: He may be the least well known player on the line, but it’s about time people started to recognize how much of a find Brian De La Puente (+23.0) has been for the Saints. Dud: While he got better as the year went on, 58 combined sacks, hits and hurries are far too many from Jermon Bushrod (+1.5). Some good work in the run game ensured he ended with a positive grade, but you need your left tackle to pass block better. Summary: The often unheralded part of the Saints’ success, the line didn’t get as good play from their tackles as they might have expected, but they got by without Carl Nicks just fine. That owed a lot to Ben Grubbs stepping up. A fine line that looks set for years to come. Attached Thumbnails

Sweet. We already know Bushrod is meh. Glad to hear Brian graded out so good.

Just more evidence that the Saints should not overpay Bushrod, because while he is above average - he isn't and probably never will be an elite LT.

I brought up the liability of Bushrod after the second preseason game.

Was the LG busy helping out the OC more often than others? |
