Saints hopeful Andrus Peat's return to RG stabilizes OL

This is just my thoughts but wouldn't it seem a little easier for Peat to play LG since he played LT in college and then if Armstead missed some games slide him in at LT so his feet don't get confused.

Good Idea. Saints kind did the same thing with Jim Dombrowski, but he went from Tackle to Guard, but stayed on the same side of the line...

I'm thinking it might be more likely that Strief misses time than Armstead given his age. In that case it does make more sense, using your logic, that he remains at RG.

I do worry about Strief this season more than any other season he has been solid over the years but Peat has had bad trouble playing RT before and RG. Lelito could pull RG duties but I don't think he's able to play RT at a high level. There is noone really behind Strief I see being able to do his job.

It has to do with long term plans. Hopefully Armstead is the starting LT the next 10-12 years. Peat will probably never play that position for the Saints other than in an emergency. Therefor its better to play him at RG so he can get used to that side.
