Zach Strief officially announced as new Voice of the Saints, replacing Jim Henderson

I am also hoping that Zach can give some "street level" insight into defenses and pass rushing, as well. One would assume he knows a lot about it, having studied and faced off against so many different defenses and seriously talented pass rushers over the years. Someone like that who can spot the adjustments or changes during a game, made in the trenches on both sides, and highlight them for the viewers. Looking forward to that.

I'm SO relieved and glad that Joel Myers didn't get it. He has a monotone voice that simply puts me to SLEEP. No matter what is happening on the court, I get bored and tired when listening to him call Hornets games.

Don't forget that Zach's job will be play-by-play (which I actually think he'll handle fine), not color. He can throw in some, but he needs to focus more on the flow of the game. I'm actually hoping he let's some "homer" leak through as that brings across more passion.

Planned to revisit this thread, but I think he's greatly improved...

I listened to his broadcast of the Saints-Redskins game and was pleasantly surprised.

With the rough weather yesterday, we had issues with the sound via DirectTV (again, Buck/Aikman, no loss); we got intermittent signal from WWL, and I was impressed with Strief...

Love Deuce, he's very insightful, but he's got very little personality and that's before you compare him to Hokie or even Archie...
