Unger is an experienced, productive starting offensive center who will not be 30 years old until next April and is under contract until 2017. He immediately solidifies the center position (occupied in 2014 by Jonathan Goodwin and, sparingly, Tim Lelito) so long as he is here. A knock against Unger has been his durability, and that is a fair concern. He has started 35 regular-season games in the last three years of a possible 48. However, consider that Graham has only started 34 of 48 over the same time span. So the Saints are not really losing or gaining anything towards the injury report.
To find out just what the Saints are getting in Unger, I compared his 2014 snap count with departing Saints center Jonathan Goodwin to find common opponents. The only team they both faced last season was the Carolina Panthers. Unger immediately showed off his skills as the second-best center in the NFC behind the prolific Dallas Cowboy, Travis Frederick Read more at Breaking down what Max Unger means for the New Orleans Saints | New Orleans Saints Last edited by Halo; 07-27-2015 at 04:39 PM.. |

Re: Breaking down what Max Unger means for the New Orleans Saints
The apex of winning for us is protecting Brees. We had to deal with it, it was becoming a big problem. Jimmy's services could not reconcile it because some games, he could have been serving beer and hotdogs and doing more good for the team. Seahawks will come to know this as we did.

Re: Breaking down what Max Unger means for the New Orleans Saints
It's not like Ingram has never had a good hole to hit or he went down on the first hit...
But if the line could gel quickly as we'll have at least two (2) new starters... And Unger is known as a bit of a mauler for a center... The running backs should have a nice table set when they hit the line of scrimmage... |

Quickly... This only holds true if he stays healthy<<<<<<< He missed a significant amount of time last year and that can't be pushed under the rug....
