I was testing to see if he was too stubborn to take a hand out, which he is.

Hypothesis tested.

Results: OP is stubborn jackass more interested in e-fighting than discussing. Lack of posting/replying technique shows immaturity and closed mindedness. Poster not recommended for status as ST regular.

Recommendation: Post on Rant or SEC Board to refine posting issues and lurk ST for improved posting techniques.



Analysis complete. End Thread.

13 more days till camp!

In 2011, Payton used the TE's & RB's to chip giving Bushrod & Strief help with pass rushers on the outside. For some reason, Carmicheal felt last season there was no need for this & it caused Brees to get pressured & sacked from outside rushers more then in previous years.

One play that sticks out more then any other last season was a crucial 3rd down in the second meeting at Atlanta. Strief had just returned from injury & clearly wasn't 100% that game. Instead of giving Zach some help with a chip or a double team from a running back, he ended up having Jon Abraham one on one. Abraham blew by Strief for an easy sack, stalling a potential scoring drive at midfield.

Point being, if the tackles struggle at any point during the season, Payton will adjust accordingly just as he did in 2011. Remember, that was the same offense that set numerous NFL records. The offense will be fine in that aspect.

The bigger question should be, does the offense get the running game going to get back to the balance it had in the '09 & '11 seasons? If the running game is top 10 this season, then that takes away 1-2 possessions from the opposing offense. That in return will aid the defense.

Another bigger question on the defensive side of the ball is, does anyone step up & become a consistent pass rusher this season? That's still yet to be seen but my money is on Junior.

The end!

Thanks so much, finally some valued input rather than a bunch of clowns yelling about the guards and center being the key. That may be the case, but LT is still a position that needs to be filled on the field.

Sucks that we need to plan around having a weak tackle, that delays RB's and TE's into their routes with the method you've described. Might see more loaded sets to the weak side this year if no one can step up the way tackles in previous years have.

smh... I'm defending Bushrod. People seem to think he wasn't an asset. He was.
Worth the money? Probably not.
The topic was started in discussion of the 3 men competing for the job now. I did not bring Bushrod into the conversation, yet I'm whining? Leave the thread, please.

Have you seen relevant scenes from Prozac Nation?
You should get on that.

Brees is similar to Marino.

Neither have great speed, but they both have great peripheral vision and a quick first couple of steps to avoid a sack.
