no unfortunately Strief is not starting, the black backup Bushrod who is struggling, is starting. So when Brees is getting pressure, what do the Saints do to protect him? Put in Strief in as a blocking te to help out Bushrod, which takes out an offensive weapon. Why not just put in Strief by himself? When he has started he has held his own without help. I mean I have heard of using a blocking te to help with the left tackle, but another LINEMAN, I thought that was just for goal line carries.
Chad Clifton looked like he was hurt, bad news, I hate to see White tackles go down. Not sure what the injury is, will know more later.
