It's also proof that PFF grades can be misleading.

You should post that on the comment section of PFF Offensive Line Grades and then ask them if they do a quality control review of their methods and formulae for grading...

Strief was re-signed for this single biggest reason - TRUST...

That includes Brees' trust in him, Payton's trust in him...

Look at nearly every offensive lineman that has played for the Saints under the Payton era...

Most, not all, have had to show a body of work with the Saints or at the pro level that they could be trusted once the battle was engaged...

Watch the Carolina and Seahawk games where Strief is horrible in the screen game, but he's trusted to protect Drew...

Posted this before - you haven't heard one bit of concern out of Coach Payton about Lelito taking over at Center as you did re: Left Tackle Charles Brown last season...

And with such an apparent glaring need, the Saints have gone out and added new signees that are...defensive backs?!?

Yes there's a fullback in there, but Strief being the only hole on the line re-signed...

Unless it's a ruse, I'm starting to realize the Saints Personnel Staff have decided to trust Tim Lelito to be the Saints new starting centre...

And maybe we should as well...
