He's not my wild-card anymore, not a bad price either. Now Mickey draft me a stud Center.

He's going to be grooming his replacement.

Re: Saints re-sign Zach Strief
 

Strief allowed 7 the year before last. To me, he's not that good of a tackle. He's a fan favorite, and I'll concede that he's serviceable, but I'm not a fan and never will be. Not to mention, didn't he just turn 30? 30 isn't usually the best time for elite lineman, let alone an average one.

Streif battled a groin injury, suspended head coach and an offseason rife with team ridicule. What was Oher's excuse?

Streif's been a starter for 3 seasons, two of which were above average and the last being his best.

Regardless of favorites, we just resigned a top 10 RT at a great price.

I completely agree with you he wasn't that great in 2012. He really turned it around in 2013 though in my opinion.

The whole team was poor in 2012

Re: Saints re-sign Zach Strief
 

OLinemen play longer than most other positions, and he doesn't have as much wear and tear on his body (he was a back-up for 4 or 5 years), and he looked great at 29, so a couple more years shouldn't be a huge problem.

Re: Saints re-sign Zach Strief
 

This is very good news. Especially when you take a look at contract details.

Re: Saints re-sign Zach Strief
 

Whole team even Drew Brees stunk up the field in 2012, no coach, multiple injuries, deplinished Defense thanks mostly to Goodell, i wouldn't put a lot of stock in 2012 at all to judge any players, they're heads were just not in the game, we did fair better with the injuries and without a coach than Falcons did just last year with a few injuries, no suspended players and their entire coaching staff..
