On Saints offensive line, no tackle left behind

METAIRIE — Protecting Drew Brees’ $47.8 million blind side might be the most important job in Louisiana this fall. At least in the sports world, it’s certainly in contention.

But barring a late move, the Saints apparently have chosen to address the loss of Pro Bowl left tackle Jermon Bushrod to the Chicago Bears in free agency with these options:

1. A former second-round draft pick going into his fourth year with more games spent injured or inactive (27) than on the field (21).

2. A former No. 2 overall pick getting a final chance to escape the epic fail category.

3. A rookie third-round pick with off-the-chart measurables but whose primary college competition was in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

4. A solid eight-year veteran and team leader who would just as soon stay where he is.

5. A seventh-round pick from a year ago who spent 2012 on injured reserve.

“There’s certainly a chance there for somebody to step up,” said guard Ben Grubbs, who hosted most of his fellow offensive linemen plus several other teammates at his Ben Grubbs #66 Foundation charity softball game last week at Zephyr Field. “But everyone who’s a pro welcomes the competition. It’s your turn to get out there and prove what you can do.”

That’s certainly what options No. 1 (Charles Brown) and No. 3 (Terron Armstead) say they intend to do.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
