Re: Why did the Saints choose Andrus Peat over Larry Warford?
 
Had been Team Peat up until last year when he supposedly had been rehabbing from injuries; those familiar with rehab know it's supervised training & conditioning for pro athletes...

Anyways, several members of this community noticed at the Yulman open practice during training camp that Peat walked onto the field overweight and was clearly out of shape - that's inexcusable...

Pros can have delicious meals prepared by world-class chefs guided by dieticians, their choice of degree'd, knowledgeable, exuberant personal trainers, massage therapists post-workouts, even limousine transport...

Now, I get it's hard to fully condition when you're rehabbing injuries, but when you're a pro athlete, and with the resources provided by the team, being overweight is tough for me to accept...

But Peat was kept because he is capable of playing two positions well, LG & LT, and the latter often with little notice; plus his age vs Warford's age and who also clearly didn't maintain his conditioning...

I really wanted Zeitler. But no one listened to me on Airline.....
It takes two to make a deal. Who's to say that Zeitler WANTED to come to Nola?

Well, I'd like to get the real truth on the story, but Loomis did say publicly they'd set a limit on what they wanted to pay and something to the effect they didn't want to go the extra mil per year...

Did he make Cleveland a winner?

Loomis has limits on what he will pay...?

I need to have a few drinks and read that again.

The stat came from Underhill. I'm sure it's accurate.

Yeah, that was where all the problems for Cleveland were - it was at guard...

Re: Why did the Saints choose Andrus Peat over Larry Warford?
 
Because every player deserves a pros debate to balance the cons.. This approach is from a unit point of view as an offensive line plays as unit and not a single player. I will start off with saying that had Drew not been freakishly injured Peat wouldn't have been in the cross-hairs as much for as long.

Why did the Saints keep the Offensive Line together?
  • #1 Rushing Offensive line in the league for 2019
  • #3 Pass protecting Offensive line in the league for 2019
  • #4 Least run stuffed Offensive line in the league for 2019
  • 55% Of the time we run between the Guards 'GCG' space and our Offensive line is #1 in the league running there.

Peat doesn't get all the credit but no lineman does or should. Regardless of how i see Peat, I wouldn't screw that that volume of success either.

My comment was more geared to Easton being able to fill in if Peat went down.
