Don't agree with the Warford part, but I think you're dead-on right that it'd be foolish to not keep some extra bodies on the offensive line now that Peat's health has become as mercurial as that of Mr. Glass...

Thought Easton played waaay better than Peat at the end of last season; and though we need salary cap relief, and with Hurst facing a 4-game suspension, there' no way I'd let either one of those go...

Worford quit football. He'd be no use to us in 2020. Besides, you want to talk about marshmallow... Warford's abilities to get out on screens and pass protect (see 2019 Vikings playoff loss) became too much to stomach paying for.

I'm one of the ones who defended Peat (so I'll stand up now). I hate to see this because I believe the kid has way more upside of the two (vs. Warford).

Just hope it's precautionary and he's back this week.

Defense shines, Jameis shows off his arm & more take-aways from the first Saints practice - YouTube

If Armstead is Mr. Glass, what is Peat?

Peat's have been for the most part "wrong place at the wrong time" broken bones. I'd much rather have that than joint or soft tissue issues such as hamstrings. That make four separate bone break incidents in four different areas. That not a pattern, but bum luck instead.

Or there's a calcium issue or some other malady Ochsner is overlooking...again...When building teams, picking players, durability needs to be a box you can check...

Until he showed up out-of-shape at Yuhman for the Training Camp Open House, I'd been solidly in Peat's corner, especially for playing hurt vs Mr. Glass...

But Nick Underhill said he looked great, and definitely appreciated his contract (wanted to reinforce the trust) and showed up ready to go - so that was good enough for me...

Yes, it's bad luck, but if he keeps breaking things, Saints are gonna have to keep insurance policies like Nick Easton, Will Clapp, and James Hurst (4 Gm Suspension) and look elsewhere to clip salaries to extend others...

Bad luck huh?

Andrus is only 3 years younger than Terron and has been just as injury prone ... neither of which have ever played 16-games over the course of their career. Last year Peat missed 6 games with a broken arm. Before that it was a another broken hand/ankle sprain & concussion, not to mention he's broken his leg (2018) before

.

Again, if TA is Mr. Glass, what is Peat?

It's too bad Brandon Scherff (he's a dawg/regularly wins his matchups) got the franchise tag & Joe Thuney (hasn't missed a game in 4 years) weren't options this off season.

If I was in the front office, there would have been no way I'd commit good coin to an often injured player on the O line.
