It was a rollercoaster of a season for the veteran."When the New Orleans Saints lost Senio Kelemete in free agency to the Houston Texans Youth Tyeler Davison Jersey , there were questions surrounding the 2018 Saints’ ability to replicate the depth on the offensive line. Enter Jermon Bushrod, who re-signed with the team after after a two-year stint with the Miami Dolphins. Bushrod, at 34 years old, wasn’t expected to be a full-time player, but rather a depth piece to fill in behind the oft-injured Terron Armstead.Bushrod ended up playing in 11 games for the 2018 Saints Tyeler Davison Jersey Stitched , starting 6. He filled in admirably at tackle with injuries to the aforementioned Terron Armstead and Andrus Peat forced Bushrod into a more pronounced role.

It’s no surprise then to see that when Bushrod was on the left side of the line, the Saints opted more often than not to run primarily to the right.Bushrod’s best moment of 2018 might have been an award he received after the regular season:For those who don’t know, Bushrod had to deal with the death of a newborn child in the middle of the season. This incident, along with an injury sustained later in the season, forced Bushrod to miss significant time. However Youth Craig Robertson Jersey , the competitor that he is, Bushrod did his best to help his team win any time he was on the field.The question for 2019: will Bushrod be on the field again?Whether Bushrod calls it a career after the 2018 season, or tries to make a final run of it - be it with the Saints or someone else - he has had a great career. Even if Bushrod hangs up his cleats, this won’t be the last we see of him: he’ll be inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame soon enough. The Saints took a couple of dips into the veteran wide receiver pool over the last two weeks and Tre'Quan Smith going untargeted while playing 50 snaps against the Bengals seemed to hint at why the team was interested in Dez Bryant and Brandon Marshall.Neither of those players was in the lineup against the Eagles on Sunday, however Craig Robertson Jersey Stitched , and Smith had a much bigger role this time around. The third-round pick was targeted 13 times and caught 10 of Drew Brees‘ passes for 157 yards and a touchdown.Smith improvised on the scoring play and said he was “so happy” that Brees told him “I trust you” after that play. The team might not have sent the same message with their recent signings, but Smith said he’s taking motivation from those moves as well.“It has to because … you gotta know your job is at risk. Because if you mess up, you got a veteran right there trying to take your job,” Smith said, via ESPN.com. “But I know if I do what I gotta do week in and week out Youth Ken Crawley Jersey , I’m at a good place.”Smith’s not going to be center of attention for the New Orleans offense every week, but showing he can fill that role if needed only makes the Saints look more dangerous as they hit the back stretch of the regular season
