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.

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...

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.

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.
