That is disappointing.

Brees will need an above average guard if we ever want to see the SB again.

Well, a healthy Nick Easton did seem to be an improvement over an out-of-shape, injured Andrus Peat...

IMO Nick was solid during the stretch of games he filled in for Peat. No many missed assignments (only 2 false starts & 0 holding penalties), free releases to the QB.

Had a friend of mine who attended the Bucs / Saints game mention he saw Nick on the field EARLY with a positional coach working his pass blocking drills and techniques. Only a handful of others (Michael Thomas, Brees, Morested, Cam/Gardner J * etc) … you know the over achieving guys trying to take every opportunity to get better at their craft.

I don't know if Nick is the long term solution at G, but I do know that Peat isn't.
