Congrats
 
You wanted a improved defense. You got it. But look at our poor offense, those playmakers will mean nothng without any oline help. We just couldn't draft McGovern or Alexander could we? Or Tretola or that other razorback? Nope, sadly we better hope Carolina does not get a bye. Defense will not be enough to win with our guard play and perhaps Streif.

The offense is in trouble with the defenses we have this year. Payton screwed the pooch here big time. I guess 2017 is when we will contend after all as one has said?

I'm more bothered by turnovers. The o line could look completely different 2 1/2 weeks from now.

I'm just annoyed we picked Peat when Marcus Peters was still on the board and we needed serious help at CB.

Peat looks completely clueless the entire time, no passion at all.

I have unfortunately come to the conclusion that Peat may be a bust. Get him out of the starting line up now, trade him if you can.

Agree that the Saints biggest problem is the turnovers, not securing the ball; but, the Saints do have to add help to the interior line...

Does everyone realize Peat is a LT? That's what he played all through college; it's not his fault they keep moving him all over the line...

I'd stick and leave him at the RT spot ahead of Strief and see what happens...

Re: Congrats
 
Peat is not gonna start at RT. If he's a LT why did they draft him? Because they don't draft for need.

Oh, and that other olineman is Kirkland.

Re: Congrats
 
I think the only reason they took Peat at all was because Danny Shelton went the pick before and they panicked a bit

Still should have taken Kevin Johnson or if i had my way it would have been Marcus Peters

Re: Congrats
 
Peat has played every spot on the o line but center.

He's even played two spots in the same game.

The kid is talented. He'll get it together. Have patience guys

Re: Congrats
 
If Peat is to be RT he must play RG and keep working on his foot work.

I give him 8 games then i will judge.

I will say it again, If Peat is to become a starter it will be in year 3.

Mr Mellow Yellow needs more time.

Brees has to play well against the raiders in order to win.

We are not gonna go 8-0 to end the season. We cannot wing it early on and wait for Peat to come on.

I wouldn't. Despite what people think about Strief he is an above average lineman. He graded out better than anyone else in the league last year against JJ Watt. Yes Watt won the battle but he does that against everybody.

A start would be Peat sticking with one position. Or hell even one side of the ball.

The online was a fragile plan to begin with. Most of us recognized it going into the offseason.

Face it. We're walking a tight rope all year long.

I'm afraid your right problem is our aging QB isn't as quick on his feet
anymore which I know worries us all especially Mrs. Brees.

Rumor has it that Drew plans on hosting a new game show this off-season called "Run For You Life" featuring clips from the season.
Cameos appearances by Strief and Peat (if he's still around)

Once again, it is the freakin' preseason. Why the hell not introduce players into different scenarios in a meaningless game to evaluate how it is handled? I'll guarantee you that the starting positions on the offensive line are totally set in stone already. The preseason is the time to try out other things.

None of us knows how it will perform until the regular season.

I'm not so sure those big D players facing our O-line think it's a meaningless game, their all fighting for roster spots and it only takes 1 mistake by our O-line to put Brees on IR. Meaningless not at all.

And thus the reason why starting QB's see such limited playing time in the preseason. But, I agree and disagree. The game remains meaningless as a whole, but it is very important as to the individual player.
