I think we would be fine with Tennent or DLP at guard, obviously they aren't Nicks


And everybody thought we would be fine with Charlie Brown at RT and Kruetz at C. Pretty sure there's a reason two other players have been given a shot at C while Tennant still waits.

Because he was a second year player and center is a more cerebral position than most people think.

DLP did well, but he did have 2 years more NFL experience on Tennant. He's bounced around a lot of teams, and has had to learn different system. My guess is that he was mentally more prepared.

Other guys can step up on the O-line. Would you really rather have Lance Moore, Devery Henderson and Meachem as basically our only receivers? Once teams started covering Graham and Sproles on 3rd down, Brees would go to Colston. We need him and can sign him with a higher probability we could land a pass rushing DE

I think it's a valid concern, but DLP has played great and could probably slide over to guard if need be...... Look the facts are we can maybe franchise Nicks for one more year, but we can't afford Brees, Colston, and give Nicks Jahri Evans type money which is what he will want, we will have to part ways with Nicks eventually
