Agreed. Just wish Armstead could stay on the field. Man he's had a rough go the last couple seasons.

I agree with Armstead injury issues but IMO when healthy he is the best LT in football

This is likely his last season as a Saint...

Yep, article Major cites is what we've been saying here the past couple of years - Ramczyk to LT, easier to find a RT (and likely got him this last haul)...

Ramczyk's first game as a rookie, Gm 1, @Minnesota, and he played LT and got it done against the Modern Purple People Eaters...

Had Sean ran more, even if the RuYd/Att was great, Ramczyk and those young guys were beating up the MN DLine early...

However, traditionally in Sean's tenure, the guards' play was more important in the zone-move-block scheme that's been used than the OTs...

Over the "last couple of seasons" Armstead has started more regular season games than any two season stretch of his entire career. He only missed two games in 2019 and one game last season.
