Zach Strief tells WWL radio, 'I'll be able to start until somebody beats me out'

Among the different topics he discussed on a local radio show Thursday, New Orleans Saints right tackle Zach Strief said "I'll be able to start until somebody beats me out."

Strief also talked about what he thought the team might do in the draft, how they can become more competitive with the Carolina Panthers, and where quarterback Drew Brees is in his career. The comments came during the "Sportstalk" show on WWL Radio hosted by Bobby Hebert and Todd Menesses.

Hebert led off by asking Strief where he thought he was and whether he thought he would be starting a seventh consecutive season in the opener this September.

"We're in good shape at the tackle spot ... and I think Terron Armstead is the best tackle in the NFL right now," Strief said. "A healthy Terron Armstead is as elite as the league has seen in a good while – he wasn't real healthy last year. We have a ton of talent, including Andrus (peat), who is going to be a good player in this league."

Please no. Peat needs to start.

As it should be.

Earn it.

I hope he's taking what Manning took

I know it's not the most popular with glaring defensive needs, but I wish the Saints would draft OT Stanley, leaving Peat where he is, and have Strief as the swing tackle. Then, defense, defense, defense, WR, K.

Hopefully someone is ready to step up and beat out Strief in camp. Insert Peat at RT & fingers crossed we draft a guard in mid rounds of the draft.

I thought Orakpo and JJ Watt were gonna kill Brees last season.

Well, he is correct in his statement. He will start until someone beats him out. Goes to show you our talent level/desire to be the best attitude at Tackle.

Maybe it will light some fires under some folks behinds.

This could be said of every player on the roster.

I would hope that we start drafting well enough for the younger guys to beat out all of the older guys.

I'd love for a QB to beat out Brees. It means we have another damn good QB on the roster.
