I like Zach. I even like his play by play analysis. But Henderson was like a true fan. Emotionally involved and good at his craft. I see no one on the horizon- other than myself,lol, who could come close. Too bad I’m not in the running.

You need to take it Zach! Everyone would trust you for sure!

Re: Sources: Zach Strief offered New Orleans Saints radio play-by-play job
 

He'll be great... maybe in time come close to Jim Henderson, the GOAT.

Alrighty then!

Re: Sources: Zach Strief offered New Orleans Saints radio play-by-play job
 

Yea, it will never be the same for us. The next generation will no doubt grow to love him and embrace him as tradition over time but Henderson’s shoes cannot be filled.
Now replace Bobby Hebert and Buddy D a respectable successor. Bobby is a slap in his face. I like Garic a lot but not for the point after.
Who would be a good replacement for Buddy? He has to have character as Buddy did but lack the jackass clown shoe personality Bobby does.

Im a big fan of Zach, as a player and as a guy, but how in the world
do you replace a Jim Henderson ?

He'd be a good fit for Color, but I think play by play should be a career
broadcaster, over a player. A pure radio guy.

Yea Bobby is an ass that thinks nobody knows football but him and buddy sounded like he had a jar of marbles in his mouth when he talked. Zach will be fine as long as his heart is in it.

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

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? :bng:

So....the Fleur De Lis is nothing new to you?:bng:

Fan - probably. Insider for sure and perhaps too close to some players/coaches for honest comment.

Re: Sources: Zach Strief offered New Orleans Saints radio play-by-play job
 

Hope that's not the case.

Re: Sources: Zach Strief offered New Orleans Saints radio play-by-play job
 

I'd rather see him as assistant O-line coach.

He sounded too much like a small market announcer. There was no pop! None! He didn't get excited nor did he get into any real football specifics! I was left wanting much much more from the voice of my New Orleans Saints. I hoped he would be more entertaining and informative.

Oh well, we still have to listen to Troy Aikman or some other slow talking idiot that likes the other team better every game when regular season rolls around! :brood:
