Saints Offensive Line 15 years ago

Not only was that OL talent elite, but they stayed relatively healthy. I don’t remember many missed games due to injury on the OL between 2009-2012.
That is also a product of Drew Brees. His quick decisions/release limited how long the line had to hold up for. Less time pass blocking lowers the chances of getting mauled by 6’5”, Olympic sprinting Sumo Wrestlers.

Honestly this is another topic but after watching the pelicans first few games and looking at their injury list after a couple weeks of play and looking at the Saints injury list Ms. Benson needs to completely clean out and replace the entire medical staff. Both of her teams are decimated by injury every year so something is wrong with Ochsner Sports Medicine. I don’t know if it’s their rehab and trainers, dietitians or if it’s doctors being overly cautious and keeping players out when most staffs would have them playing with pain killers and anti-inflammatory shots. I am sure a giant medical behemoth like Ochsner pays a ton of cash to be the teams’ medical provider/sponsor but whatever it is, is not worth it both teams are in shambles with injuries.
