falconidae Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Lots of turnover on the Oline. PFF rated Kreutz one of the worst best pass blockers of last year. What do you think of the youngsters? Think they can keep Brees upright and open holes for Ingram & Co? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they can keep Brees upright and open holes for Ingram & Co?this doesn't bother me at all. Goodwin does just because he is solid, if nothing spectacular.however, Stinch just hasn't been the same since his injury. Last year he looked pretty awful and was responsible for a lot of Brees's pressure. Someone on SR.com even unintentionally predicted it by using a grading scale for OLinemen in this past preseason game. Stinch got a grade of 58 (positive vs. negative plays) and said that sort of grade usually means you don't have a job. well he was right. I wish him well and hope he fully recovers and can get a couple more years...dude was an 8 year starter and a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodiac Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Im not sure about Strief, he's not very mobile, I saw someone on SR suggest using Bushrod at RT and Strief at LT.Strief would be roadkill at LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see what he does against starters and I have the feeling we will see that this week. The coaches already know what they have in Strief so I think they will be taking a close look at Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that the coaching staff knew there was a strong possibility of this early onthe other option is that cutting Stinch freed up some cap room so there may be some Loomis wheeling and dealing in the works as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
