With Jamal Brown not playin will it hurt us????

Uhh... one comment that I haven't seen is that the Saints' offensive line coach has done one bang-up job with the talent he's had to work with.

Coaching is a big factor on the offensive line. You develop a scheme to work with players' strengths (and minimize the liability of their weaknesses).

We heard doomsday disaster on how horrible the Saints' OL would be this year. Yet, despite playing against many formidable foes, Brees is still healthy and our offense has been a threat each week. You have to admit that our OL is one of the "pleasant surprises" this year.

Bottom line: We'll see how effective Strief will be. Somehow, I believe he'll get the job done (overall).
