Hopefully Andrus took CSP message personal and go out there and perform.

Playing well in the post season is where it matters most.

For that to have any value, Peat would have to be last in the depth chart. He is not good depth this or last season. He is a warm body that has arguably been a contributing factor in other people’s injuries.

Totally agree here. I think some of Armsteads problems the last 2 years late in the season is because he has to pick up Peats slack.
As soon as Armstead goes down the rest start falling down like Dominoes. Peat being the first Domino.
You would think when he plays next to Armstead Peat would benefit. I’m all for letting Easton start.

Unfortunately, I see the same thing. Although, Hurst has been impressive in the run game. I am not so sure how good run blocker he is.

Edit: Peat is a good pulling guard in the run game. His problem is that he's just not very good in pass protection and that is when his whiffs get other players hurt....namely Drew.

What’s been impressive is how well our line has performed week to week in spite of a constant rotation of several players in a position group where continuity is key.

Don't know the extent of the Marcus Williams injury but I'm sure coach plans to have him sit vs Carolina.

Needing to win this game is a good thing. I get resting players for medical reasons. I never like players resting mentally.

It's a bit more nuanced than that to me. There are competing goals of playoff positioning and potential injury. If your playoff seed is locked in win or lose, then it's just really not smart to expose starters to potential injury when there is no benefit one way or the other.

However, that's not the case here. The Saints gain significant, and possibly ultimate, benefit from winning this game. So, resting players isn't even a question. I'm surprised that many fans seem to be asking the question when there's no doubt the Saints should play this game all out.
