Look at the best Saints teams. They had two of the best guards in the game, and prevented pressure from up the middle. Gave Brees a comfortable pocket. Good guards can affect outside rush, simply by allowing the tackle to ride the rusher over the top while the pocket is clean.

If we had a badass LT as well? Damn

EDIT:

I shouldn't have said best Saints teams, but at least the ones circa 2010, when they had Nicks and Evans at guard
