New Orleans Saints could move Andrus Peat to left guard
quote:
Peat started training camp at left tackle while Terron Armstead was on the physically unable to perform list and moved to right guard when Armstead returned. Even though the team planned to have Peat at right guard while Tim Lelito and Senio Kelemete competed for the left guard job, it sounds like another poor effort by the offensive line in Friday's exhibition loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers could force some change.


So we knew he struggled on the right side last year and played well on the left side.

So instead of either 1) working him exclusively on the right side so that he could learn the position, footwork, etc. and improve or 2) playing him exclusively on the left side where he's more comfortable, we decided to do neither.

Brilliant.

Absolutely, spot on, analysis. He played better at LG, until he got injured against the Falcons. Why not keep him at LG and let him fully learn the position? But, no, the coaches get out a grade school chemistry set and jack the the guy up and down the line with no consistent instruction.
