Saldiveei and Penning both start. 1st pick is a LT spot. All 3 have good grades. This would not only be great from a on field position. All 3 players would have friendly deals to ease the salary cap complications as well.

No. Maybe that’s why you’re on your bullshite on every board you post on, arguing like a simp. I didn’t post an opinion, just facts. There’s nothing to argue. You decided to make up something to start an argument bc you didn’t know he had experience playing inside


“Simp” and “Retard” are how you have conversations? You name call like a
12 year old because you can’t handle a basic discussion. This what you do on every post. Then act superior when you’re just name calling the other poster.

I made up nothing- you have no idea what the basis of the discussion was before you posted a saints tweet from last year on Saldiveri.

He’s been playing guard full time since May ‘23. It’s done, he’s a guard


Hes played 18 snaps in the NFL and started one game in college at guard. But you’re declaring him playing guard because you’re the new oline coach??? Hahahahaha this is hilarious.

Keep going with your raging name calling posts like somehow that makes your argument stronger lol

I mean I should expect these hormone imbalanced posts from you since you have the prefix “gyno” in your name which is a prefix meaning of “woman, female.” Let me know when you’re done menstruating.

I didn't read the whole thread but are you prepared for a rookie at LT, Nick at LG, and Penning at RT? Because that's our line.


I think Fuaga will be fine. The other two- honestly who knows what to expect.

I just don’t see how this line has been upgraded from last year? We lost our better lineman from last year in Ram and Peat. We’re putting Penning back in starting lineup who was horrendous last year and expecting an inexperienced guy to switch positions and start. And thinking a new coaching staff will turn it around.

Even the most optimistic Saints fan has to have some serious doubts about this oline.

What do you mean good grades?

Saldiveri has basically no experience as a 4th rounder and Penning played horrible last year.

He’s been playing guard since rookie minicamp last season. Im really going out on a limb and “declaring him playing guard”

Let’s see how your rainman logic can argue he’s not a guard

Lol ok. My main argument was its not easy transitioning to guard in a “starting spot.” You’re stuck on oh he can play “guard” because he was at rookie minicamp.

I’ll make it simple for you: Do you think Saldiveri can be successful as a starting NFL guard? Not Jahri Evans just decent?

oh my god just shut up already. he's a guard. his future is at guard. him trying to be RT in the league was a disaster. The new scheme is more tailored to what Saldiveri's strengths are. shut the frick up. god fricking damn.

But what if he likes Lebron can he still play guard??!!! Maybe you should start a thread about that.

Yes he can be successful at guard.

Graham Barton made 35 starts at tackle at Duke. Jordan Morgan started 35+ at tackle. Can they not play guard successfully? Would Fuaga not be a good guard?

What does the NFL and it’s coaches know by instantly wanting to move any tackle with ~33” and below arms to guard? They are draft tackles in the 1st rd to play guard in the league. Maybe you can shed some light on exactly what your hang ups are with moving guys like this

Please don’t start this thing about short arms and playing OT. If I remember correctly you think Fuaga can’t play tackle at all because he has T-Rex arms. You literally ranted about that the whole Saints draft.

Which brings me to the point that you don’t think Fuaga with his short arms and first round talent can be successful at tackle (even though thats the position he played in his entire collegiate career) BUT you think Saldiveri can be a competent starting guard even though hes a fourth round talent who’s started at guard in one game in college and has done nothing in the NFL to date?

My hangup is I’m not saying its not possible for Saldiveri to be a competent starting guard. But its also asking a lot from a guy who since hes been drafted really has shown nothing. I hope he proves me wrong but the chances are its a giant gamble for the oline. It also makes you wonder whether it would have been wiser to just bring back Peat- who has experience playing guard and tackle.

Should be easy to find and pull those quotes up. More bullshite youve made up in your own head. You really said that so matter of factly, that’s scary

There are multiple possible outcomes, being a good guard is certainly one. You think he can’t be a competent guard because he’s a 4th round pick and has played one game at guard in college? Again I’ll ask, why are NFL teams drafting college tackles in the first round to play guard in the NFL? There is a laundry list of guys who made this transition from 1st rd picks to UDFAs

So being a 4th rd pick, making the impossible switch from tackle to guard, who went on PUP list in camp then IR in the season, is supposed to show something to you? talk about a walking contradiction

The tape looks fine to my eyes but it's a different animal in the league. I think it's important to note what guys who actually study and coach the OL position are saying. We are the team that misidentified Peat, Ruiz, and Penning, after all.


Hmm since you wanted me to pull old posts. So you think the Saints have misidentified Peat, Ruiz and Penning but now believe they have correctly identified Saldiveri at guard lol???? Talk about a walking contradiction hahahahaha

I apologize that was SloFlowPro. But did a little research- interesting you both have something connected to Stanford and both of you registered on this site the same day only 2 years apart. Could be just random coincidence of two Stanford fans on a LSU blog site or that you’re just SFP raging female alter lol. This explains so much. But go on keep babbling and raging.

Just because a draft profile listed him being versatile when he was drafted in fourth round doesn’t mean a poster can make an assessment that him switching positions as a starter will be easy.


Youre a complete Nancy/Karen.

Any simple research shows that he was WIDELY projected to be a guard due to his short arms, and good speed for pulling, etc. and we drafted him to be a guard in the long term.

But clearly you dont research.

This is your response to every post by anyone you disagree with. Wah wah I disagree with you- you’re Karen or Nancy or whatever the frick white female name you want to use as an insult. Grow up and stop using caucasian female names as insults- thats racist.


Draft profiles dont determine the success for a player at a certain position . Fuaga had short arms too- do you think he was drafted to be our long term answer at guard?

Go ahead and respond by calling me another female caucasian name as an insult.

No.

But scouting reports of what GM’s Coaches think about a player clearly showed that this player was widely projected to be a guard due to his measurables.

So quit crying.
