So if Lelito and Kelemete/Streif end up starting

Danno · 05-01-2016, 04:49 PM

I'd expect its because they earned it, and perhaps both OG's actually improved their game over the off-season

Why do you desperately keep looking for negatives?

Where do you see Streif improving? That's what this is about. Peat will be starting and so will Lelito. I expect Kelemete to be the odd one out if Streif holds onto his RT job. If Peat is RT, Kelemete better improve from last year.

If Peat doesn't start next year, I will be highly disappointed. 13 overall pick and to be regulated to the bench. It doesn't bother me where he starts. Guard or tackle as long as he is in the lineup. Wasted draft pick if he isnt.

Regardless of who plays what position on the O-line - they need to get Peat on that starting line-up.

1st round pick can't spend time on the bench as a depth guy.

I agree the apprenticeship is over. I hope Strief sees a lot time at guard until we figure out the long-term answer. Certainly a lot of potential with young players in that slot

Strief would not make a good guard. Do you see that guy pulling and lumbering around?

For four years he was a tackle -eligible for 4-5 plays a game and played special teams, so yes

Right, but he'll be 33 at the start of the season and can't handle a speed rusher to save his life anymore. I don't want that guy out in the open blocking on screens.

Brees still has a quick release which makes the OL look better. The infusion of talent even as UDFA ought to give us enough depth.

The defense is going to have to improve and Grayson better be prepared to play.
