Being a starting C is more than just blocking. He was a serviceable blocker, looked lost at times in the screen, and Drew was calling the line.
It's not just a Saints opinion. He is headed to his sixth team and isn't expected to start. The o-line seems to puzzle some fans, they think DLP is a keeper and Grubs is horrible. |

Best of luck to DLP, but he won't be hard to replace.

Re: Bears sign Brian De La Puente
Wow....he took a backup job. I didn't expect that. That means there was no interest at all from the Saints. I actually thought he might be drawing interest from someone. Regardless, we can get better at that position.
