Saints plan to start Mayberry at RT ... BUT

Mayberry can\'t be much more of a liability at RT than \"Premature Riley\"; however, given the reports that I\'ve read, Mayberry is a pro-bowler at RG and a serviceable RT.

I really hope they don\'t give up on trying to get Miller (or someone else... cough Womack cough) in FA. THAT would be a serious upgrade to our line.

Consider:
Gandy - Serviceable (against speed rush) to Good (mechanics, intelligence, experience).
Holland/Jacox - Serviceable (both have good strength and Holland has decent mobility).
Bently - Will be a pro-bowler at C.
Mayberry - Is a pro-bowler at RG.
Miller - A real grinder in the running game.

Sounds like a recipe for a crippling ground game! Tight.

My main fear is that even with Miller we will not have seriouisly improved our pass blocking, and we will continue to see AB running for his life (that is bad because he is running for his life, not because he is AB... guys). However, with a serious improvement in our running game, other teams may not be able to turn their dogs loose as often - which may improve our pass protection.
