I wouldn't rule out Throckmorten to push Easton either. Maybe even Greenidge as well.

From my reading, he (Throck) has played a lot of different (C, G, T) positions while at Oregon. Versatility is the name of the game on the Saints O line.

I am. I think he’s the variable in this equation that no one seems to be talking about. He was brought in to be “the guy” before McCoy fell in their lap and he did very well filling in. He’s also probably the most versatile player along the line.

Simple. Coaches believe Peat’s ceiling and long term upside is greater than Warford. Fan opinions and PFF ratings be damned.

Does Peat have flaws? Absolutely. But at 26 years of age he also shows flashes of elite play. Just like Armstead when he’s healthy he’s virtually unstoppable.

Throck?

The Saints O Line will be as rugged as The Grand Tetons mountain range. I dub him T'Ton!!

Side note - Ethan Greenidge .. a year under his belt in the system. He's big, young and coaches have praised his development from last season.

Depth.

Imagine a world where we signed Kevin Zeitler instead of Larry Warford?

I read an interesting stat. Saints gained 432 yards on 97 off-tackle runs to the left side of the field last season. That's how good Peat CAN be.

They didnt sign Peat to a new contract to have him as a back up. My only thought is Warford is 3 years older, we freed up 7.75 million by cutting him and Peat can play any guard or tackle position.

Nothing about a fluke makes me look deeper, three flukes is suspect.
