I dont think that his performance was in question as much as his durability. I hope he can stay healthy.

No way Marcel is better than Strief at this point. He completely whiffed a block and seemed flat-footed out there. I think it's gonna take a lot to develop thos guy.

Everything was in question and still may be. Performance was in question because ... well... he hasn't been healthy long enough for us to know what his performance is.

That play where drew was nearly sacked in that pile was on Grubs, he didnt handle his man and that caused the pocket to collapse..


We still have a lot more play time before I am going to be comfortable enough with Brown where I am not watching only him, but we are off to a good start.

I liked him.
Armstead looked good too.
I'll sleep a little better now.

Regarding OT's, I watched Strief throughout his time playing in the game and thought to myself, "What a solid RT the Saints have."

Danno

A healthy Strief is the best RT we've had since Jammal Brown. He just needs to stay healthy.

Brown is a very servicable LT, if he can stay healthy too.

TheOak

If Armestead and Brown continue to play well and stay healthy.. Strief could possibly be replaced by moving Armestead to RT next season.

IMO Charlie Brown was always the best left tackle on the roster including Bushrod, he couldn't stay healthy to prove it. Lets all hope he stays healthy this year bc there is absolutely no one to take his place if he goes down. No Way I trust Armstead with my franchise QB, he's still a rookie and did nothing to prove otherwise Friday night.

Brown doesn't have to be a stud, he just has to be decent. The only thing that semi-concerns me is that Bushrod was an awesome run blocker and Brown hasn't been seen as a guy that will push people around like that.

Strief is a very solid RT. I wouldn't even mind him at LT if the situation changes. People forget but he played there a couple of times in 09 and looked real good.
