Don't lump me in with that racist POS, thats totally uncalled for, not to mention about as off base as you can get. I may be a lot of things but I'm not a goddam racist.

It was sarcasm. But okay. I'll let you know how it turns out.

OK guys calm down. We all have opinions and they all differ. We are all upset about the turn that our team has taken and are lashing out.
But remember, we are a family here.......a Saints family, but a family none the less.

I was just joking. Sorry, I guess I'm Exile Incognito.

Sarcasm aside, he was absolutely right.

Some of you guys get your panties knotted over reeeeaaaally silly things. You're grown ass men, or women, act like it. Sick of getting on here and seeing this one arguing with that one over stuff that neither has ANY control over. Disagreeing is one thing, but some of you resort to name calling and attacking the other guy's character entirely too quick. I did that once on here, then promptly apologized both publicly and privately. I'll bet that most of you wouldn't be so quick to act like a jackass if you didn't have the vastness of cyberspace as your shield... Grow up, cut the crap and quit ruining my favorite place to come for Saints info.. and don't tell me "well don't read it then" because it's almost unavoidable. What used to be confined to the political and smack talk forums has spilled out all over this site, and frankly it makes me want to vomit.

C'mon man, you can do better than that crap. I've seen it.

In fairness, I forgot about Ben Grubbs... perhaps because he hasn't lived up to expectations. But aside from that, sorry to disappoint you man, but I stand by my statement.

These guys were good college lineman, but simply do not possess NFL starting ability. DLP seemed to do alright last year, but I can only assume there is a reason why he was cut from so many teams before. Like many people, I thought that the Saints had somehow turned the light on with him, but this year his play along with the others has dropped off dramatically.

But because the Saints don't believe in investing in real offensive tackles, we are left with total crap on the edges, and not much better at center.

All one need do is watch the try to run, or watch Brees run for his life to know that what I'm saying should be common knowledge.

Evans is a real talent, but is not fully healthy. After him, there is not a single starter on that line who is really a legitimate NFL lineman. Armstead fits this scheme with his agility, but (apparently) he isn't ready technique-wise.

That's baloney! There is nothing wrong with the talent on the OLine. Last season they used gap blocking and they did just fine. The Saints had the same guards and center. If you want to say the scheme doesn't fit the personnel then you are right. But to say the OLine has no talent is ridiculous.

Again, I inadvertently omitted Grubbs. The other three are just not that good. Brown has been a disaster since they drafted him. DLP is just a plugin, and not really a true starter. I would say he's done an admirable job considering his long journey from obscurity, but that doesn't make up for the lack of holes up the middle. And Strief is like Bushrod was. He is half decent, but not nearly good enough considering he plays on the less demanding right side.

You can disagree with me if you want. I don't care either way. I'm sensing a lot of butt hurt lately and it leaves me to wonder why this forum exists.
