Saints happy with Erik McCoy's progress, eager to test him further

[jwplayer RYycp09Q-ThvAeFxT] It was very likely that Erik McCoy would be a rookie starter once the New Orleans Saints traded up to get him in the 2019 NFL Draft. Now, weeks out from training camp, …

If Terron can get and stay healthy along with Peat then our line is solidified for several years.

If Terron can get and stay healthy along with Peat then our line is solidified for several years.

IIRC, Armstead was hurt early on in 2017. Then, Peat was coming off an injury, started out slowly in 2018.

For now, both seem to be fully healthy going into this year’s TC! So that’s a good start!

However, as far as I know, Larry Watford is recovering from an injury, and did not participate during minicamp. So I’m a lil concerned there. The good news is that SP said he expects him to be back “ sooner than later”, so hopefully, he’ll be good to go come TC. Meanwhile, newly signed Nick Easton has been in for him with the 1s. So it may jus be part resting Warford n part getting Easton some quality reps before the start of TC.

But it’s something to keep an eye on.

If those big fellas can stay healthy on that O-Line we will be unstoppable, as we were before they got banged bad late last season.

Even then we still were pretty unstoppable other than by corrupt ?’s imo.

having Easton as a backup is a major plus. he is starter quality and can play guard or center....really solidifies the inside of the line

Erik McCoy winning the starting Center job would/will be very good news for the Saints offense. However, it is not the most important thing for the Saints’ O-line. The most important thing is the health of everyone else. The Saints have very good depth at Center, with McCoy, Eason, Tom, and Clapp all capable of playing the spot.
Depth at OT is much thinner, and behind Peat and Warford, there is a bigger drop off as well.
