Re: Zach Strief
 

Let me tell you something right now, he is calling him out, yep. JG needs to STFU and worry about winning, and Zach is right- these dudes think they are good. They're not even looking at the record. Evidenced by JG talking about how much better the replacement are when your record stinks.

Re: Zach Strief
 

After JG comments he just seems like a douche to me....

Re: Zach Strief
 

Did he get called into Payton office.

Zack taking the high road

Re: Zach Strief
 

Someone needs to tell Jr. a few things. One, respect your elders. In this case it's the players who went before.... and won. Two, mouths and egos don't win a damn thing, teams do. You mess up the team and you end up ...... 5 and 8 and home for the holidays.

Re: Zach Strief
 

What was the latest thing he said?

Re: Zach Strief
 

Well maybe after this past Sunday he'll keep his mouth shut.

Re: Zach Strief
 

I guarantee they were directed at junior, he just didn't want to draw Payton's ire.

Re: Zach Strief
 

I don't care what he said. I never liked this guy, I wish we would part ways with him.

Re: Zach Strief
 

Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith the “benchmark for leadership and professionalism”

that is what we lost with such a huge turnover on defense.

Re: Zach Strief
 

He's a very cerebral player and he's very sharp. The young 'uns need leadership.

And while we're at it Zach needs to pick up his game too.:bng:

Re: Zach Strief
 

dude has been beat up all year. plus age might be an issue. i stand by what i said earlier last year before we signed him. Draft a ROT and have Zac play backup swing man for the rest of his time as a saint.

Re: Zach Strief
 

And make Vilma a LB coach.

Re: Zach Strief
 

That could add 3 or 4 more years to his career.

Re: Zach Strief
 

Depending on the board when we draft a stud left tackle with Armstead moving across isnt a bad idea either.

Re: Zach Strief
 

And probably wouldn't be that expensive neither.

Re: Zach Strief
 

After watching all the moves defenses have made to stop the pass happy NFL that all the rule changes have made.

IMO a true RT is becoming a thing of the past. the elite defense have TREMENDOUS DE/OLB coming at from both sides.

we all know the top ones but the ones i am watching now

OT Ronnie Stanleyis 6-6 315 ND
i am really liking this kid. talk about productive, solid prospect and plenty of upside to boot. he maybe the biggest surprise pick in round 1. top 15? top 10? he is a OT without a doubt. switch him L or R no big deal.

OT T.J. Clemmings 6-5 305 Pitt
Talk about becoming a media darling with a possibility of OG. this is all about upside here. first round? not solid on that. i do like him though.

round 2
OT Ty Sambrailo 6-5 315 Colorado State
here is one to work into a mix. ROT? maybe but sliding inside to guard works also. i really like the way he plays. attitude for start to finish.

round 3
OT Jake Fisher, Oregon. i have talked him up already. he works well as part of a unit. switches and passes off defenders probably better than any OT in the draft. ROT is his home IMO. needs to bulk up a bit for run blocking

Re: Zach Strief
 

Strief has been a decent starter for us. Never was Evans or Nicks, but no worse then Bushrod. He'd make for an excellent back up.

I too have been wanting a LT and to move Armstead to the right.


But has anybody seen the center from Florida State? The kid is a beast. We need to build inside out on the line.

Re: Zach Strief
 

Junior had a reputation as a whacko coming out of college. He can play but I think some one needs to tell him to shut up.

Zach has never been anything but the consummate pro. He's also a very good RT and a true leader. I'll take that over a loudmouthed, self promoting "star" any day of the week and twice on Sundays. The whole freaking league is turning into Cam "Look at me" Newton.

Re: Zach Strief
 

I like junior and I see more hustle in him on defense than I do the rest. Problem most likely is his leadership skills. Being a captain on defense is probably too much for him. I can't diagnosis it cause I am not in that locker room but players like Strief & Brees should call a all captain meeting every other week to help the growth of leadership. They been on the team the longest while Lofton been on team a few years and this galette 1st year at captain.
