Thirty, to clarify, do you think Zach Strief, playing his entire career for the Saints, and with teammates still active would be a True Fan?

Really looking forward to hearing Streif's first game - going into it with expecting the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly - but if he drops one-line gems, he'll be a keeper...

Would love to see Strief running through game simulations right now just to get a look at what he can bring...

I read he called over 100 taped games as practice before his was interviewed for the gig.

Have a friend, former next door neighbor from when I lived in Old Metairie, who's still close to the organization who's Dad was a former player...

He knows Strief and said the same thing, even going so far to once refer to him as "Lil' Drew", habit for reviewing game film - so I'm not surprised by what you shared...

Strief has a deep reference pool to pull from.
As an insider he almost knows what going to happen before it does.
Broken coverages, missed blocks...he'll see it all from upstairs.
Please Zach - just don't get ahead of yourself!
Every team is going to have a guy assigned to do nothing else except
listening, logging and reporting all the detail you can supply.

I was still in France then, arriving here a mere two weeks later. Has it been that long already?
