re: LT is Starting to Scare Me

First of all, nothing has changed since OTAs.

Brown has played well when he isn't injured. And as everyone here agreed, Bushrod was no Willie Roaf.

No. We have a seasoned veteran of our offensive line, a former 2nd overall pick and a rookie competing for a spot. That's better than what's available at OLB and similar to our situation at DT.

This is arguably the most important position on the O-Line (at least for the Saints' scheme)

You couldn't be more wrong. Brees steps up in the pocket so well that outside lineman like LT & RT do not need to be our best lineman. Our best lineman need to be our guards to keep the pocket from collapsing in the middle and being pushed back into Brees. For an example of why everyone else is right and you are wrong, see the Washington game from last year.
