Re: Brees is done
Is Eaton that bad to where he can't back up Peat? We played worse in the second half than we did in the first. I hate bye weeks. The strength of our team got punched in the mouth and did nothing about it. I don't understand how you come out flat after a week off for a divisional game.

Any other game we could have probably withstood the pressure, but not with an ailing Armstead coming in. That just goes to show how important a healthy Armstead truly is to our offense.

Re: Brees is done
I agree with that. A lot of people bash Armstead but our tackles are always left on an island. TA and Ram dont need help but they cant do anything to help the mess we have with the interior of our offense line.

Re: Brees is done
Peat can usually hold his own, as well, but Clapp is a huge drop off.

Peat is the most underwhelming, highly drafted lineman I've ever seen in black and gold. A man that large shouldn't get tossed around in the manner he does. He's a soft player. Saints front office missed on this draft pick. But you're right, Clapp is awful too. Bad depth at the position. |
