Dissecting the big plays from week 1

Great analysis. I thought Bushrod played fine, Esp since brees wasn't sacked. Guess brees should get more credit bc he feels the pressure and steps into the pocket. How would u grade Bushrod, and what does he need to work on to become a better blocker?

I think he did well as far as run blocking goes. In pass protection he just got beat around the corner by his man a number of times. I think he just needs to use his hands better because his strength is what is going to win the battle for him. Not sure he is quick enough to hang with the best pass rushers in the league.
