Film don't lie ... Anytime there was any breakdown with Drews protection , guess who ? Anytime our Running backs couldn't move a foot before being met by multiple defenders guess who ?

Truth be told seattles beat the hell out of us because Drew couldn't friggin move left right or step up into the pocket to even attempt a quality throw ...

We can and will find better for cheaper ... Their motto isn't let's run someone over its lets hold up ... With that mentality we've already allowed the defense to take the fight to us. Enough of that tom foolery.

As someone whose played the game of football on offensive and defensive line for 15 years plus into D-1 Ball , they suck ... They don't intimidate anyone , like seriously watch some film it's hilarious how immobile they are , and them they just get overpowered its comedy

at times it was DLP, Evans, Grubbs, brown, Strief, Lelito...
It wasn't always DLP and Strief.

DLP did improve, or did that improvement curve coincide with Jahri Evans health improving as well?!?

Either way, I'd like to invest a draft pick in a Center like Larsen or Bodine and maybe extend an opportunity to a real hungry UDFA...

Give that candidate a legitimate chance for the dignity of NFL stardom and having Drew Brees hands up his arse... ;)

I say Evans improved the line the healthier he got, a stud Center would make this line special. And if Strief was a weak link in it, it would be a good thing because Strief isn't bad at all my only concern is his knees. DLP is servicable at best but why settle for that when you have all the weapons and a top QB. pulling the trigger, Brees needs time and needs to be able to step up to throw, not to mention the run game.

Saint'so, I feel ya, but Loomis has put our backs against the cap with two awful contracts in Grubbs and Lofton...

I'm all for popping a guy in the mouth, and smash football, but that players is gonna have to come in the draft...

It'll take two drafts, seasons to get those players and get to a point where Grubbs contract won't hurt us as much too move 'em...

If both sign elsewhere and we are stuck with Harris and a rookie you will see how good they were

23 teams gave up more sacks than we did
only 8 teams had fewer QB hits than we did
NFL Stats: by Team Category

total yards we were 4th

I'm still sayin' we've gotta get a better line coach or scheme for those guys unless we can pick up some pure freaks somewhere.
