On Jamal Brown

I'm sure most people would prefer Brown in there, but we've already seen why it wasn't a huge deal to not have him. He's not an overly dominant LT, he's just solid. Carl Nicks on the other hand... this guy was mauling everybody today. All of PT's big runs came behind him and Nicks was opening huge holes.

Everyone would prefer to have Brown in there, and it IS a huge deal having him in there. He is a very good LT that can man handle his man most of the time. He has kept Brees jersey pretty darn clean since 2006. He's not just solid. Sean Payton had Heath Evans and TE's chipping Bushrod's and Strief's DE A LOT. Do NOT downplay Jammal Brown's importance to this team.
