+1.

Scheme. Saints are a very good team & will make the necessary adjustments.

The only "real" injuries we've had after 8 weeks of football is Davenport and Armstead thus far (knock on wood). Better we lose these guys now than in late December.

"Ice up" Armstead.

They are going to see if Bushrod can hold it down without moving the other 4 linemen. Peat at LT and Clapp at LG worked well before (not at same time) so I imagine that is plan B.

This sucks but we will be ok. The only team that has a RE that worries me is Dallas...he should be back for Carolina and Pittsburgh...that’s the important stretch...

It’s not close regarding Armstead and the 2nd best LT...and the Saints organization knows it...hopefully he heals up well and stays for years to come. No one gets close to Brees on his side when he is healthy and his value in the screen game is severely over looked.

Peat is a better LG than LT. Leave him where he is. Bushrod will be fine at LT.

We'll make it work by shifting players. I hope we don't see a performance drop.

Now, if we see another injury on offensive line, we can start to scale back expectations for the year (KNOCK ON WOOD).

3-4 weeks gets Armstead back by the Panthers, Steelers, Panthers season end run.

From what I've seen I'm hoping Peat stays at left guard. The inside of the line has been playing excellent, let's not jack it up.

Ha !

I don't count Dez because unfortunately we never saw what impact he would have in black and gold.
