Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh God! We looked flat in the first preseason game and now our starting left tackle has an undetermined injury. What are we going to do? I guess the season's over, oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Give me a break! This is the NFL. One man does not make a team. Strief played exceptionally well last year and was a huge reason we won a couple of games. If this team can't cope with losing a key player to injury, then they were never Championship matirial in the first place. It's almost like some of you are looking for reasons to doubt.

I agree. Strief held Simeon Rice in check last year in the Tampa game but he wasn't as effective Sunday night. There is plenty of time for him to pick up his game before the season starts. You don't play this game with a goal of being second string, you play to start and you make the best out of your opportunities if you want to stay in the league. This is Strief's shot I think he'll handle it.

they have an update on the team website, saying Payton was encouraged that it prolly isnt a tear, but who knows.....

Yea... if Drew Brees where to go down would you be saying the same thing? I don't think so. I guess some of us don't realize we aren't going to be as effective if Brees doesn't have ample time in the pocket. Deuce and Bush won't have an All Pro tackle to run block for them. Look how dismal Shaun Alexander was for Seattle last season with the departure of Hutchinson to Minnesota. I can name a ton of examples... but I'm sure you see where I'm headed with this.

To some of you, no one said the season is over. No one is saying Strief couldn't be effective. Many of you are undervaluing how much Jammal Brown means to this team. Someone said Strief held Rice in check last year, but who didn't? It's our starting left tackle. This is why the offensive line is the unsung hero of every team... they never get enough credit.

That's very encouraging... I'd rather have Brown playing than Strief, but that's just me.

ESPN - O-tackle injuries: Saints' Brown - NFL

You've even got Strief now saying he knows what a downgrade he is from Brown.

papz · 08-07-2007, 02:09 PM

Even Strief is smart enough to know how much Brown means to the team.

Also his response could be from excellent coaching and discipline by Sean Payton by maintaining modesty. You let your actions on the field speak for your ability to play the position not by saying you can replace anyone on the team.

Papz, my point is that everyone is freaking out over a poor showing in a preseason game and an injury that no one knows anything about. It's not time to write off the Saints quite yet.
