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.

I agree with this. If Armstead is not 100%, then he needs to rest. If Peat shows that he is great, then he can win the job from Strief by outperforming him and bump to RT from LT when Armstead returns. I am not saying just give the kid the job, it would be more of Strief losing it through poor performance at this point.

Keeping Strief in this position because he is a veteran and a leader even though he is no longer viable is no different than keeping McMahon or Johnson. We all know they suck. It's time for new blood.
