Saints line: Reasons for hope, concern

Re: Saints line: Reasons for hope, concern

I feel good about Lelito in the middle. Replacing one starter on the o-line isn't a huge deal, replacing two (if Strief hadn't come back) could've had potential for disaster.

I just hope the line is building on last rather than starting from scratch. Evans and Grubbs were both pretty terrible until about week 10 or 11. Need both those guys to be healthy, well-versed in the scheme and ready to go early this time.

I feel like we've been playing with fire on the o-line depth for a few years now. Harris is our only proven serviceable backup at any position. Welch is a veteran but he's played for 4 teams in 4 years. Some potential among the depth guys I suppose. Armstrong and Golic are my choices to make the team. Maybe Marcel Jones too if he can get his head out of his behind and play like he did two preseasons ago. Last year he was a disaster.

Grubbs was terrible because of Brown. He was sometimes blocking for himself and Brown. Evans was terrible because he was injured until about wk 10 or 11. Not to mention they both had to help DLP block. So that was 3 people Grubbs was blocking and 2 people Evans was blocking. When Armstead went in Gubbs and Evans could both help DLP and block their own man.
