2019 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Rugby Saint II · 03-16-2019, 01:35 PM

Great job jp! I can't wait for the update for a new O-lineman or two. I like Clapp and Tom but not enough to trust them to protect Drew. We have a good run game when our o-line is healthy.....the thing is we never play the same five from game to game.

It was obvious we needed better depth towards the end of the season. We have invested heavily in the O-line recently and it has paid off big dividends....don't stop now.

From your lips to the Payton-Mickster's ears!!! Know we've interviewed with at least one, and I'm told a couple of others...

Talked to a couple "professional-types" around the team, and they tell me Clapp just needs to get functionally stronger, discipline his technique. He's about a year or two away from Strief's skill-set...

Tom has good size, but also needs to get a lot stronger and break some bad technique habits...

But it's Armstead's availability, pain-tolerance I don't trust. And Peat needs to fully recoup and be allowed to play one position, or be traded and/or extended to get his cap number down...

We really need another two veterans on this offensive line - I like G Ted Karras (RFA NE), Matt Feiler (ERFA PIT) and I'd part with a Day 3 pick for the latter...
