These 2 points lead to Andrus Peat. I know that he was not in shape early in camp but he seems to be over that. And in limited snaps, he has played well. I wonder how much of his camp performance was tied to how good these young front 7 guys are? They gave Dallas hell. I think it's time to put Old 64 to pasture and bring in the rookie. He can't look any worse than Strief.

Can we just give Armstead a little atta boy for playing through injury last night and holding his own in the second half?

Strief is getting killed by no name speed rushers. They are just faster then him. He's supposed to kick those guys out, but they are able to turn the corner against him. It's a trend now. Anyhow, Brees staying upright is the most important thing for this team. Benching Strief is much bigger than dumping Hicks. He's a leader on this team and in the locker room.

I would prefer Peat play LT till Armstead is a 100%. Playing hurt players especially ones vital to the future is something I am not a fan of. Peat has gotten much better over the course of the season...part of the luxury of having a top 13 pick as a swing back up is when something like this presents itself. Armstead plays hard and leaves himself very susceptible to a bigger injury IMO if he continues to play.

Strief has been exposed to aging however Philly next week does not have the same caliber of edge rushers to the ones we have faced thus far.
