So if Lelito and Kelemete/Streif end up starting

WillSaints81 · 05-01-2016, 03:13 PM

What will be done about the running game?

ChrisXVI · 05-01-2016, 03:30 PM

At the moment I'm expecting this to be our starting O-Line:

LT- Armstead
LG- Kelemete
C- Unger
RG- Lelito
RT- Strief

Lelito is much better at right guard than left and Kelemete actually performed admirably when he had to play left tackle last season so I think he's earned a shot at left guard. I don't see Peat beating out Strief or anyone else yet. The UDFA's will be great depth with chances of starting in '17.

If it does turn out like this what concerns would you have?

Ingram on first downs again. And the screens. I hope the saints don't run those next year as much.

IF........"If's and but's were candy and nuts........" There should be a "What If?" section.

Hightower, however, showed that he could play with the guards we have. He was running all over the place those last two games. It explains the Lasco pick also. We've had more success running the ball with undervalued guys.

I expect it to be this:

LT- Armstead/Peat
LG- Allen/Peat/Klemente
C- Unger/Allen/Lelito
RG- Turner/Young/Lelito
RT- Strief/Ryker/Cheek

Peat may beat out Allen at Left Guard which would put Allen at Right Guard and Turner. With this scenario we have Turner, Klemente, Lelito, Ryker, Young and Cheek as solid backups. Our running game will be fine and with a good rotation to keep everyone fresh the passing game will be great!

Good Lord if we have 2 UDFA's starting Drew will be retiring half way through the season.

Could you imagine those 2 bookends for the next 8 years? Brees would of played until 46!

If the Oline stays as you called it, I'd expect the run game to struggle and Brees to miss at least a couple games due to injury
