Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
Look, I'll be the first to tell you that we definitely need an upgrade at Right Tackle as Streif has admittedly struggled in some big games (e.g. Houston, San Francisco, Seattle) against speed outside edge guys...
So last year we drafted Peat at No. 13 and Peat, as has been subtly suggested he was out-of-shape joining the team, was never able to unseat Strief... Thus, we got a right tackle who's rated top five at his position by PFF with a near top-10 selection in Peat unable to win the spot, and you dump him?!? C'mon fellas, don't blame Strief because Peat hasn't stepped up to the plate... |

You can count the games on one hand, maybe two over his career, that Strief's had a bad game; sure they were big games where the challenger's talent is much better... Is Strief getting old, slower and could use an upgrade - probably, sure...but WHO ARE YOU GOING TO REPLACE HIM WITH?!? Training camp is coming and plenty of young bucks, including Peat, will have ample opportunity to wrest the right tackle job away from Strief... But y'all remember this - Zach Strief is a warrior, he's never been a quitter, and he's not going to roll out the carpet for another player just because he's younger... Someone is going to have to step up and win that job... |

Training camp will tell the story. |

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
Charles brown had a string of bad games, he was then benched in favour of someone who couldn't get into the Lineman Stance at the beginning of the season - Terron Armstead
Now whilst Strief hasn't had a string of bad games, every time he has a bad outing Brees ends up getting injured. He probably won't be cut, but in my opinion he's a couple plays away from being benched in favour of Peat. |
