The O Line

lets face it the saints are rolling the dice once again on the OL. OG can only do so much and staying in house for yet another year will get Drew killed.

They blew it in the draft. I like out 3rd pick but we needed to do more.
also in not signing prospects for the OL from other clubs when the PS was put together.

One day this will all come back to haunt us

I agree with this.
In our system, you need receivers, and pass blockers. We needed one guy who
can shut down his opponent, and allow us to hammer someone else.

You know what? I dont sweat holding penalties on pass plays.
I'd rather lose 10 yards on one series one play one game...
... than lose my QB for a year.

Did anyone else notice Drew had more time in the 2nd half?

I don't agree with that. How could we have done more?
We picked a highly athletic LT to develop for 2014. We had Strief, Brown, Smith, Jones, Armstead and Harris all in camp, and by most reports all but Smith flashed at some point.

We needed defensive help and I have no problem at all with the guys we picked.
