I push for a youth movement on the right side but in no way do I think Zach should be let go. He is a lunch and pail role model for any young pup. Plus having his swing skill set on a back up role for a few more years

peat needs to step up or we look else where

I actually hope they keep Peat at LG and don't shuffle him no more. Then that side should be set for a while. Draft another young RT instead.

Not many OT in the draft will transition to the pro level as LT IMO. I see a lot of them moving to OG really.

Turner reminds me of him. Big guy. Not athletic. But, gets the jobs done. If he got a start at guard, Lelito or Kelemente would not see the field again.

Peat has played very well at Left Tackle...probably part of his problem adjusting to the NFL is not only the complexities of the NFL game but having to adjust to the game at what has been different positions every few weeks for him...

If Armstead continues to have health issues, Peat may very well have to stay at Left Tackle and let Armstead move to the Right Tackle - if he can win the position from Zach Strief who's been stubborn about giving up his position...

Last season was bad, but this season has been better.

Still, the Saints have to get better and younger at that position as well.
