Ughh!

When I see a slideshow post?
I just say no.

Mauti? He's a beast on special teams...

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Who cares.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

yeah and he had some moments filling in too. I kind of like him

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Mauti got a lot of Saints brownie points on this one.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

And he graded out very well as a LB when we were forced to start him.

PEAT has yet to beat out Zach.

To be continued ...

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Why on earth would you cut your 3rd best O-lineman?

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Whilst I don't think Zach will get cut, I think it's not long before we cut ties, over the past few years he has nearly gotten Drew killed

Remember SF game in 2013 - Brees got close lined by the guy Strief was blocking

Strief let up 3 sacks to Jacques Smith and Brees missed his first game in 10 years.

Whilst he's not our worst O lineman he's certainly not a strength.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

He had 2 bad games and 14 good ones. Thats hardly worth cutting the guy. He's the best we have until someone steps up. To simply want to cut a guy over 2 bad ganes when the alternative will likely be worse is ridiculous.

You never cut a guy unless his replacement is better.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Zach Strief against Khalil Mack. I don't know about anyone else, but if he couldn't handle Jacques Smith, JJ Watt and Ahmad Brooks he ain't gonna handle Mack. The thought of Strief vs Mack is enough to scare the hell out of anyone.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

I'm already having nightmares about Kalil Mack against Strief.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Yes sir, Mack is an animal (19 sacks in 2 seasons :hallucinate:). Have a TE "chip" him. Luckily we have months to prepare.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Fluff piece. Pure crap! Yes, I clicked on it. :brood:

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Don't forget Bruce Irvin rushing as a strong side LB now right next to him. I'm not taking that game lightly at all.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Look, I'll be the first to tell you that we definitely need an upgrade at Right Tackle as Streif has admittedly struggled in some big games (e.g. Houston, San Francisco, Seattle) against speed outside edge guys...

So last year we drafted Peat at No. 13 and Peat, as has been subtly suggested he was out-of-shape joining the team, was never able to unseat Strief...

Thus, we got a right tackle who's rated top five at his position by PFF with a near top-10 selection in Peat unable to win the spot, and you dump him?!?

C'mon fellas, don't blame Strief because Peat hasn't stepped up to the plate...

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

I'm not blaming Peat for Strief's poor play, I'm blaming Strief. I don't care what he was rated, he nearly got Brees killed. He needs to be on the bench as a backup because that is about as good as he is.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

And whom should he be a backup to?

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Exactly! Hey, I love Strief, 7th round pick, worked his arse off to become a really good right tackle in this league...

Drew is one of the fewest sacked/knocked down quarterbacks in this league, Thanks in part to Zach Strief...

The San Fran player y'all are trying to recollect is Ahmad Brooks - and he's been one of the best, and at times the best, SAM (Strongside) Linebacker in the league...

You can count the games on one hand, maybe two over his career, that Strief's had a bad game; sure they were big games where the challenger's talent is much better...

Is Strief getting old, slower and could use an upgrade - probably, sure...but WHO ARE YOU GOING TO REPLACE HIM WITH?!?

Training camp is coming and plenty of young bucks, including Peat, will have ample opportunity to wrest the right tackle job away from Strief...

But y'all remember this - Zach Strief is a warrior, he's never been a quitter, and he's not going to roll out the carpet for another player just because he's younger...

Someone is going to have to step up and win that job...

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Peat! Peat! Peat! And anyone else. Warm the bench. That's where Streif belongs.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Just by looking at the current roster/depth chart, I think Peat will end up at RT. Don't discount changes in coaches (Roushar) & scheme. Again, no one has beat out Zach.

Training camp will tell the story.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

MUAAHHHHHH 1 MILLON DOLLARS

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Nonie, Peat couldn't win the job last year; what happens if Peat can't outplay Strief again?

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Charles brown had a string of bad games, he was then benched in favour of someone who couldn't get into the Lineman Stance at the beginning of the season - Terron Armstead

Now whilst Strief hasn't had a string of bad games, every time he has a bad outing Brees ends up getting injured.

He probably won't be cut, but in my opinion he's a couple plays away from being benched in favour of Peat.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

So just to be clear, you think the O-line of:

Armstead
Kelemete
Unger
Lelito
Peat

is better than the current proposed starting 5:

Armstead
Kelemete/Lelito
Unger
Peat
Strief

SFIAH

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

I never said either variation was better, but regardless of which ones better I think Strief is a couple hits on Brees away from riding the pine.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

And why do you think it is Brees takes tough licks from Strief's side?

...Because edge defenders rarerly get around the behemoth before Brees has delivered a pass...It's rare...

Look, we could always use a more athletic right tackle in the screen and run game, but consider this before throwing him on the trash heap...

• Ten Years Experience...
  
  
• Rated Top 5 Right Tackle...
  
  
• Very Cap Friendly Number...
  
  
• Leader in the Locker Room...
  
  
• Seventh Round Draft Pick...
  
  
• Publically Stated He's Not Giving Away His Job...

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

All I know is that we had THREE tackles hurt last year. Three. Plus with no guaranteed starter at either guard spot, we may still need Peat on the interior.

No need to rush Zach out the door just yet.

Re: 5 Saints Players Who Should Be Cut By Week 1
 

Maybe we get lucky with an UDFA? Paytons been pretty good puting a line together with the exception of the Charlie Brown experiment. Our line looked better to me the longer the season went on. Strief will battle in camp just like the other guy will. May the best man win.
