re: Guard play is a major concern

I think with a full offseason and especially if Drew hangs it up the Saints will move Ruiz to C where he’s more comfortable and McCoy to RG. I’m pretty sure McCoy can be just as good at RG as he is at C and playing C takes a little pressure off Ruiz as far as matching up 1 on 1 with elite defensive tackles. I don’t think they wanted to mess with the chemistry that Drew and McCoy developed so they just kept things the same this year. Easton has been way better than I would have thought and he will get another nice contract somewhere this offseason but I doubt it’s with us. He has 2 years left on his deal but he would make $7 million in ‘21 and $8 million in ‘22 and with all the guys we have to re-sign there’s no way we will be able to pay our 3rd G and backup C that much money.

Oh yes we will. Thank God we have him and will for sure need him in the future. I’m sure the Saints realize how injury prone Peat is and besides that like to rotate the guard anyway.

We'll probably be able to convince him to stay here & take a little pay cut. At least I hope we can.
