New Orleans Saints Unheralded Superstar is C Brian de la Puente

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Hmmm... DLP is a good center, but I'd never call him a superstar nor a regular star either. Still, he was a good find and I do hope he keeps improving his game....

We have superstar guards. Everybody else is serviceable. You see how good they really are when we want to run the ball and there's no hole for Ingram.

A part of the reason for our lack of production running between the tackles.

He did look like he was pushed around a little more toward the end of the year.

Re: New Orleans Saints Unheralded Superstar is C Brian de la Puente

This is where it helps to have played or understand how the game is played.

If a CB gets burnt it looks bad for that CB but those that have more familiarity would be able to see he was supposed to have help on that coverage and it was someone else being out of position that allowed that.

A DLman gets past an Olineman and sacks the QB, while that looks fairly obvious as to whos fault it is, someone that has played that position might see that that particular lineman had his block but someone didn't pull and pick up the D-lineman, or a call for a double team was missed.

We tend to blame the obvious and forget that its a synergy thing on the line, its not one man always...

Goodwin wasn't that great... and was not worth the money we were paying him.
