Yeah, but Oak, everyone is bleeding come post season, everyone is banged-up, and our anchor LT, Mr. Glass, has a short history of playing through pain...

Now, don't think Peat gets enough tip-of-the-hats for some of the injuries he's played through (pins in the hand playing football - excruciating)...

My criticism of Peat was when he showed up at Yulman to see a professional athelete overweight, out-of-shape, winded running onto the field - no excuse...

But Major is right, when the competition became elite (Frisco in the Dome, Reg Season, Must Have Drives), some Guards have shrunk from the challenge...

The guy that I thought I got to much credit was Warford, usually when you need short yardage you go strong-side and move people, we had more success off-tackle than inside trap...

Warford was the kind of signing I hate, a consolation pick where we spent money set aside on a guy who showed all the signs of coasting, mailing it in once he got the Big Mo'...

We should've spent a little more, had the best LG in the NFL - Kevin Zeitler (picked with our traded pick in 2012 NO>NE>CIN), am sure he'd rather be in NO than that sh*t-show in CLE...

Jury is still out on Erik McCoy, but early indications are trending up; some exchange issues with Brees, but those will get better with reps; better reads, calls will come with experience...

Ramczyk has played like an All-Pro since he suited up and should've gotten the recognition and more he received this past season since that amazing rookie game at LT vs Minnesota...

But we've got trouble in River City at Guard; fortunately the contracts are not so bad we can't get out of 'em; our line will be a Top 5 unit minimum...

And that gives Brees something to work with on Sundays...
