Saints hopeful Andrus Peat's return to RG stabilizes OL

hagan714 · 08-23-2016, 08:20 AM

if he is going to take over at RT next this is where he needs to be. He should have been playing RG all year last year. gotta get the reps to get use to setting up and moving to his right. last year he got a glimpse of playing OG so this year should be all about fine tuning his skill set.

we will have a good idea by week 8 if he will be able to jump outside in year 3

As SP said, the key is the side, not the position.
Some guys never get the hang of getting out of the stance on the other side.

To understand how big of a change it can be to change stance, try writing with your left hand if you are right handed.

Thats pretty much how big a change it is. But don't worry, you'll get the hang of it, it will just take a little time.

Makes sense... but he DID go to Stanford, right? He should be smart enough to handle this, no?

It's not mental, it's physical.

But still not like trying to write with your other hand for the first time in 25 years. So okay, he's got to learn to use an opposite technique. A smart person can adapt. Maybe's he's not as smart as we'd like him to be.

Guido is absolutely right, it doesn't have anything to do with smarts its a pure physical learning that needs to take place and that takes a different amount of time for everybody. The assignments for a position is just mirrored, thats the easiest part.
I have done the transition myself from RT to LT in the club team, then to RG with the national team, C (a wholly different thing) and then LG, it takes time to get used to, and most of all reps.

and now try doing it with JJ Watt waiting to run thru you

clowney owned the left side he made his debut but he will be figured out with a running back helping out, we didn't worry about that in a preseason game. i'm just concerned again how we are still so predictable when ingram is in the game, run, screen, sneak out of backfield five yards down and get plummled, five yards in flat for a couple of yards or usually a dump pass that don't reach him by design. spiller has to be that break up the pattern payton has designed and kill the predictability.

It's time for PEAT to buckle down & focus @ RG. At least he won't be on an island at the tackle spot or a TE in to assist. Not to mention he will have UNGER on his inside. Communication will be key.

Wise decision to stop the shuffling.
