Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Titans

Call me crazy, but James Hurst has looked just fine at LT. With Armstead being a free agent after this season I’m starting to feel pretty comfortable with Hurst being our LT.

Ram is the next LT - he was paid as one.

Ramczyk will slot into left tackle with Mr. Glass departure; many of Ram's incentives are tied to him at LT...

I still defend "Mr Glass". Nobody is better.

But man I'm coming over to your side (years later lol). The guy just can't seem to stay on the field. It's maddening. He's worth every penny when he plays.

I know it's frustrating, but it's happening all across the league. Starting tackles have been going down on a regular basis all season long. There are currently 38 offensive tackles either on IR or otherwise on the injury lists leaguewide.

Who are you inserting at RT? Is Landon Young ready? Tumbleweed Peat? This guy isn't nearly as good and just as injury-prone as TA.

Ruiz is getting bull-rushed, Ramz is having a down year, etc ...

For me, our O-line has been a disappointment in 2021.

I did see Ruiz totally whiff on a couple of blocks this week. I don't see that happening a lot though. I've seen Peat get beat way more often. Overall, I've been encouraged by the guys who have come in due to injury. Hurst and Throckmorten especially did a good job as replacements.

Referring to Peat? Hell No, that ship has sailed for me.

Landon Young ready? Sean doesn't think so as he's not seeing the field, but he did keep the late round pick on the active roster...

But RT is helluva lot easier to replace than LT; and there's a lot of incentive language that refers to Ramczyk at LT which is a big indicator of where this is headed...
