Not without Drew Brees we don't.

He sure helps, but even the rushing stats have them top 10.

One could also say that Drew has benefitted greatly from a superior O-line his entire career here

Our O Line has done much better than I thought they would. Strief has been excellent.

It's a little bit of both, right? There needs to be an understanding between QB and line as to what happens depending on how the play develops. So a great LT isn't great just because he blocks, but because he understands which way to block, and he knows this because he knows what his QB is doing behind his back; and the QB knows which way the blocking will go.

That said, you can definitely make that argument back when Drew had (IMO) the best interior line on football with Jahri-Goodwin-Nicks in front of him. Stinchcomb wasn't half bad either. Probably the best o-line in Saints history, no offense meant to Dombrowsky-Hilgenberg-Edelman-Brock.

Re: NFL.com - Saints have 6th best O-line in NFL

Drew has been his best pass protection with quick reads and releases...

It sure be nice to us get some youth at the guards; Andrus Peat seems to be able to play every non-guard position BUT Right Tackle...

Terron Armstead sure has had a difficult time staying healthy; he's missed nearly half of his playing time since becoming a starter...

Sixth and we don't have nearly the investment Dallas has made on the offensive line, not bad...

Why didn't we get those stud guards this year?

Re: NFL.com - Saints have 6th best O-line in NFL

oline has been way better than expected. if armistead was healthy we would be really good. him and peat on that side dominate. strief returned to form. we don't need as much help as originally thought.

Drew helps out a lot, especially given the injuries.
