Love it. BTW, Kenny Stills needs to see the field more. Colston ineffective for 3rd straight game. Is he banged up? Jr. Gallette is a beast!
Watching Broncos/Redskins. Hope the Saint O line takes care of Drew better than the Redskins did of Griffin. They busted his ass badly today.
Coming off the bye, was really hoping the o-line would play better, but we failed again to rush for 100 yards and Drew was sacked 4 times. He's already been sacked more this year than all of last year. The o-line has got to be a priority in the off season. Jahri Evans is the only O-lineman left from the Super Bowl team. Sure do miss Goodwin, Nicks, and Bushrod, who all departed for more $ in FA
This was the worst protection of Brees all season. And he had a 146 QB Rating. This is why he should be considered in the top 5 QBs of all time when all is said and done. No other QB in the league would have survived and actually flourished with the piss poor pass protection.
Overall, the Saints offensive line has done a decent job of protection this year. The Saints rank 16th of the 32 teams with just 18 sacks given up and allowing 29 QB hits. Interesting, for next week's game in NY, the Jets offensive line ranks second to last with 29 sacks given up and 58 QB hits allowed. However, the Jet's line is averaging 4.0 yards per rush but the Saints line is just 3.4 http://www.nfl.com/stats/categoryst...onType=REG&tabSeq=2&qualified=false&Submit=Go
That's because the Jets have Chris Ivory. If only we had a guy that could move the pile like tha -- oh, wait. Seriously, we had the league's best line in 2009, but we havent' been able to pay to keep them. The line will be the number one draft priority next spring, but Drew may have to be willing to give up some of his big bucks to add a top notch free agent. Not to mention, pay Jimmy Graham.
