Gotta b practical with what you have now :

LT: Andrus Peat (Resign 1-2 Year Deal).
LG: McCoy (Should Transition Well).
OC: Ruiz (Better Natural Position).
RG: Penning (Mauler in maul spot).
RT: Fuaga (Start Decade of Dominance).

Draft LT in next years draft.
Good young core.

Unpopular opinion


Peat isn’t a bad tackle he should’ve played his whole career there. He not great but Ive seen worse he better than bushrod 09 for example.

I actually love Ruiz at C. To me he looks good when he fills in there

You could be right. Some creative thinking in the Saints organization is certainly needed. If the new oline coach can get Penning and a rookie to hold down the right side he's already won Asst. Coach of the year!

Why would they suddenly switch McCoy and Ruiz after 4 years? At this point, they've each played their current position longer than they played the other in college.

1. McCoy ain’t moving to guard. Word is he threw a bitch FIT when they drafted Ruiz who, in his own words, was “born to play center” and refused to move to accommodate it, which led to an awful transition that’s still decent at best


2. Penning’s problem is dealing with quickness so you’re going to put him inside, the quickest route to destroying your QB? Just don’t SEE it. Keep him outside when his athleticism gives him a fighting chance

Why would you move your best OL from the spot he’s excelled at and become a top 5 C at just because Ruiz played C in college. Ruiz has been paying RG 4 years now and got another contract to play RG although I see him as merely average. McCoy probably could move to LG and be ok but I’m not doing it simply because he’s a better player than Ruiz at CI would think it wise to bring Peat back in a 1 year deal but I wouldn’t pay more than $5 million to get him. You still give a penning every chance to to win the LT job, for some guys it just takes longer for the light to come on. If he fails you have Peat as a stopgap and then you let Saldiveri and Udoh battle for LG. I don’t see Penning as an option at G like most just assume he can k always move inside. It isn’t as easy as people make it out to be. Penning is a LT or bust. RT is in great shape even without Ramcyzk. Fuaga will be the day 1 starter there and Landon Young has proven his worth as a solid swing tackle .

Guys on the radio don’t think Peat is getting resigned. It’s gonna be Penning again at LT.

We really are right there on the o-line assuming Fuaga hits
