So we have been playing Peat out of position all of these years. He looks so much better at LT than LG.

We've played him at LT before and he's generally done well. His problems were he was stuck behind Armstead and he couldn't stay healthy

 

[Saint Spud]

He’s played LT before. He filled in for Armstead a good bit and was usually average to above average. I think he’s been better the past two weeks. Maybe he sees this as a chance to stick around next year.

And this year, average is a huge upgrade

If they clean up the penalties, this lineup can protect within reason and can also run block.

 

[Artifactual]

Peat, Garcia, McCoy, Ruiz, Ram

Look how much thicker Peats legs are than everyone else. Only Penning has a lower body to compare to. Just saying.

Penning and Hurst not getting just plain whooped every other play and Penning not getting called for holding 3-4 times a game is the big difference.

The other improvements likely come from things like more and creative run plays with all our backs, Carr making quicker and better decisions, improved play calling. All thongs you'd expect from a team with the talent thats finally beginning to click.
Should have another opportunity to show improvement next week vs the bears and again the following week vs the Vikings.

He was drafted as a left tackle as well, iirc

The more we see Carr improve will be a direct byproduct of this Oline getting more playing time together and gelling more as a unit.

Yes he was. We had Armstead and he struggled at RT so we moved him to guard.

We drafted him to play RT, didnt work. Tried RG, didnt work. Moved to LG and he did well. Used him at LT when Armstead would miss time and that worked as well. Not elite LT, but there's probably only 5 or 6 of those playing NFL football at any given time.
