The OL had injury issues last year that effected to overall offense performance. A high draft pick to replace Armstead will be a longer term project. Rookie LT is a tough road. One of the fantasy sites had this years OL ranked #26.

quote:

The net effect of losing Armstead for the rookie Penning will be a negative this year, and the Saints didn’t do anything else to upgrade a unit that struggled last season. The offense is still controlled by long-time OC Pete Carmichael, but the offensive line has gone from elite to being more of a liability.


Certainly declined, but that bad?

26th?

That's crazy. Ruiz does bring it down.

Penning might get worked in.
Don't be surprised if hurst plays to start the yr.

We have one of if not the best RT and centers in the league starting. Ruiz was the top interior lineman in his draft class. And Peat is a multi year pro bowler. Armstead is always injured.

If they stay healthy, the line is far from a liability. I think Hurst should start at LT. And just give him help instead of moving pieces around.

we're still in the top half of the league. if our new lt shines, then we'll be back to being a top 10 oline.

Honestly I hope they give Hurst the chance to beat out Penning or Ruiz. They will play Peat because of what they are paying him. What if Hurst wins the job at LT but Penning moves Ruiz off of RG at least to start his career? The best 5 should play regardless and right now the only spots we know are locked are RT and C.

Marrone won’t have a shitty line, lol. This is an uninformed piece.
