If he looked so good, why didn't he start at the RT spot all year instead of Strief?

I bet he wouldn't have needed any blocking support

EDIT: looked it up, it was 3 starts, my mistake

So he didn't start until week 12 because of injuries? Injury to Zach Strief(wk 11) against the Raiders maybe...

when Strief went down and brown stepped in it was consensus that the job was going to remain his regardless. Brown got hurt; per usual which is what's been keeping off the field in the 1st place. Not his talent. If Strief was superior he'd be the one they try at LT. The blind side of the QB.

Big difference between RT skills and LT skills. Apples and oranges.

Remember Danno; Strief is nothing but hot garbage in his eyes... Even though compared to Brown, he's the one that doesn't get hurt when looked at wrong

Man; this is a long off-season!

You know like me the truly great can do both. More like oranges and tangerines. There's a little difference, but you have to be really technical about the differences.

But point is, Strief will need more chip block help then Brown this year. Just my opinion.

We don't need truly great, and no one ever suggested Strief was great.

And its not real technical. Typically RT's don't have the quick feet LT's have, and LT's don't have the power RT's have. Its been that way for over 40 years.
