As a general point to the first sentence of the original post, YES the Saints are slow...if you flip around the dial and watch any game by any other competitive or good teams around the league, you will see with your own two eyes how SLOW the Saints really are. Cooks and Saunders are probably the only actual FAST people we have on the entire roster! Seattle's defense has DB's and LB's swarming and flying to the ball...look at other teams' special teams kicking and coverage units, they are burning down the field, arriving just as the ball does.....wide receivers for Atlanta run screaming down the field, sprinting themselves open, and the running backs for Green Bay EXPLODE through the line into the second level so fast you can barely see them....the Saints by comparison are old, they look old and slow and kinda tired.

Yes it really is the O-Line.

Our game begins and ends with offense, and mostly passing.
If Drew is on his arse, we're in trouble. We really cant do anything else.

I would say YES

i do not care about defenses as bad as ours when i look at the OL. top 10 defenses only. yes the OL needs to be addressed. RT is my first concern.

this is a great year for RT, RT that also can play oG which is an area of concern cap and age wise.

center is still up in the air, i am not ready to say we have top center that can handle the better NT in the NFL. well not just yet

Yes. He was hurried as much as any QB in the league. When you are constantly hurried mistakes happen, interceptions are thrown, bad decisions are made.

Brees is one of the best if not the best I've ever seen with pocket awareness and being able to shift around. He doesn't have speed, but you stick a decent O-Line in front of him I think he'd rarely get sacked. This year it looked as though he had constant pressure in his face. He couldn't step up in the pocket and many boneheaded plays were made as a result. There is obviously a drop off on the O-Line. Could Brees be in decline too... I dunno tbh, but I still feel as though we are solid at QB position until I see Brees struggling with a clean pocket.

People are so quick to want to move on from Drew...

Papa Voodoo

We need a mean, nasty center. Goes back to Kreutz.

You are absolutely correct.

When your D sucks... your O has to take more chances than they should have to try and score and force the ball in places you really don't want to put it. A good D takes the pressure off the O.

I feel confident in my assertion that anyone who thinks our offense was as bad as our defense is a bonafide football moron.
