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.

Broken bones are not chronic conditions like knees, ankles, ligaments, tendons, hamstrings, concussions, etc. Early in Gronk's career he had a run of broken bones and never had an issue with them later.

Ironically, Joe Thuney was taken with a pick the Saints traded away...
