I was hoping that Hergel would get the call up. Lemieux did not impress me in preseason. But I trust that Kubiak, Dennison, and Benton know better than me who is the best option.
It doesn't mean that Kyle Hergel or Chris Reed won't be a Gameday Active Elevated player. Both could be.
I doubt the Saints will go into this game this Sunday with only 8 OLinemen active. That's been the MO the 1st 3 weeks.
With the McCoy injury and with Ruiz nursing a sore ankle and knee I think they have no less than 9 active this Sunday. At least they can try some different combos should there be struggles or any further injuries.
It's time for Saldiveri to step up and prove his worth.
