Andrus Peat gets heavy workload in Saints’ scrimmage

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Andrus Peat got all the work he could handle in the first scrimmage of his Saints career.

And then some.

Peat took snaps with all three units in Friday’s scrimmage, stepping in at left tackle with the starters in place of starter Terron Armstead, who was limited to no contact again.

“Well, we didn’t rep Terron, and he will be back on Sunday, so any time there is a tackle or one lineman out, we would add a rep or two so those younger guys can learn,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.

The workload took a toll on Peat, who struggled through the eight 100-yard runs that the team went through to finish the practice.

Veteran Zach Strief said Peat’s conditioning will eventually get up to speed.

“It’s a process. The first thing to recognize is he’d just finished a 13-play drive and then ran 800 yards, so it’s not ideal for a lineman,” Strief said. “The conditioning stuff is going to come.”

Peat took snaps with all three units in Friday’s scrimmage
Then ran eight 100 yards sprints.

So he played the entire scrimmage, finished the scrimmage with a 13 play drive, then ran 800 yards immediately after that?

Wow, thats tough for a big man.

Dude is a bust. Lets pay him an outrageous contract now and cut him so we have more dead money.

He needs as many reps as he can.

We're lucky he didn't drop.
Conditioning is one thing... taking snaps with all units and then still doing a full regimen afterwards is another

Being out of shape goes to a lack of fire and passion for the game. That concerns me.

Not necessarily. His college coach might have wanted him at one weight while Payton may want him at another weight that's more suitable for the NFL and the system Payton wants to run. Especially if Payton wants him to fill in at different spots on the line from time to time.

Better he get roughed up now than in games.

Relax folks. He'll be fine.
