Let the man compete before you pass judgement. If he is the best player, then he should be starting, if not, he won't. He had the misfortune of being behind the Saints longest tenured player, and a pro-bowler to boot, and he still contributed well as a 6th blocker/TE. He probably isn't dominant like Stinch was back in the day, but I don't recall him ever being embarassed by anyone.

And if Brown is finally able to stay healthy and start progressing in his development... Strief might not have a long window of opportunity to show that he can be a starter for the team.

It might be that he's a starter for this season and is either replaced by Brown on the O-Line or with a new FA acquisition during next off-season.

He had 2 or 3 false starts Friday night against second and third stringers. I will let him compete we have know choice. I want to see what he's going to do against this 3-4 defense that the Texans run. This should be intersting

Hahaha, he picked that move up from Stinch! All kidding aside, that's the type of mental error that camp and preseason is meant to fix. Now, if he is still jumping off in week 3 and 4 of the preseason, then I will be worried.
