Looks like he held his own today on the left side. Is it time to trade Amstead or move him to the right? He seems to be often injured.

Players have injury prone years. I would give him another one to up hid value unless he's gonna hit FA. If he does hit FA this injury could save us moolah

The Saints just gave the Dude a huge extension.
No way.
I would prefer sitting him until he is truly healthy.
We will need him in the playoffs.
Yep.
I said playoffs.

no way would I trade him, but I would let him sit until healthy. The constant bringing him in when he cannot make it through a game is ridic.I think peat and kelemente can handle the duties.

I think it's time to put Armstead on IR and roll with Peat at LT the rest of the season. Coach can figure out what to do with them going forward in the offseason.

I questioned the signing because of the track history of the knee.

now we signed him.. get him healthy even if it is to send him to IR.

gotta break this annual cycle or get him health enough to pull another Jimmy trade on some other sucker in the NFL

Peat is coming along nicely but I'd much rather see him at LG and Armstead at LT. Let Armstead get healthy and that will be a BEAST of a side on the OL.

Bad idea. Amazingly enough after 8 games we are actually right in the middle of the playoff mix in the NFC. When healthy Armstead and Peat are better than Peat and Kelemente.

So the Saints should shelve Armstead until he is healthy but not IR.

SFIAH

Trade Armstead? A 25 year old left tackle who just happens to be one of the best in the NFL? Be thankful that Peat found a home at LG and is holding up at LT, that side of line should be set for the next 5 to 8 years.

Having Armstead active on gamedays when he's just not healthy hurts the team overall. I would like to see Peat and Turner man the left side especially now that the Saints are running the ball more. The whole offensive line would be a bunch of maulers.

Peat is gonna get eaten alive vs Miller. There's no way he can shore the left side by himself. I would've felt a bit more comfortable if Armstead was playing vs Broncos. He should've been sitting vs 9ers but that's hindsight for ya..

Khalil Mack is good but he is still a media darling since the draft so I take the hype with a grain of salt.

Miller is a different story. He is all of that and more. Zach and Peat will have their hands full.

I expect a lot of dual TE sets. Heavy loaded sets and chip blocking. This is when you wish Hoomanawanui was healthy. All around TE is huge in games like this. with injuries like we have.

Go freaky if we keep winning and tumble down the board

R 1 - O.J. Howard TE Alabama 6055 251 4.57 #88 Sr
Howard the next Jimmy Graham with much better blocking skills

Or just settling on some steady Butt later in 2017?

R2 - Jake Butt TE Michigan 6051 250 4.74 #88 Sr - A Mr Reliable all around TE.
The next Tyler Eifert? Upside to develop into the next Jason Whitten?

So the question would be:

Take a chance on the skill set of Howard over the steadiness of Butt?

As we tumble down the draft board these two are solid options

I will watch for the need factor in the draft in a game like this.

Heck draft both? LMAO

I hope we're moving up the draft boards myself. :bng:
