Dago Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Posted by ESPN.com's Pat YasinskasI just sent a story to our news desk saying the Saints have placed offensive tackle Jammal Brown on the injured reserve list.Brown had hip and sports hernia surgery in August and missed the first three games. There initially was hope that he might return around the middle of the season, but the Saints apparently determined that wouldn't happen. They signed offensive lineman Nick Leckey to fill the roster spot.Jermon Bushrod has started in Brown's place and played well. The Saints have Zach Strief as their top backup tackle.

Dago Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 i hate to see it too, but Bushrod is showing that he can be just as good with a little more playing time and he hasn't made the boneheaded penalties that Brown had a habit of doing.

WHODAT BEAST IN THE CELLAR Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I always preferred Strief, but the coaches know better than me of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolafan33 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 It's bad to lose a LT of Browns caliber, but Bushrod has been solid at LT for the Saints. I think he's the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GritsPittz Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Sucks to lose offensive linemen, not really sure the Falcons can afford to lose anyone this year on the line. Hopefully the next guy plays well for you (Except when Abraham lines up against him ).The immature side of me couldn't help it.You said Bush..rod.

joe horn Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 In his absence the Saints have put forth the #2 rushing attack in football. I'm thniking this new oline coach is making his mark in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
