People so easily dog Strief because when he does give up a sack or miss a block it just looks so bad and is so obvious because he is on the outside of the line. There's usually one play a game at least where it looks like he is in slow motion while a DE runs by. Most casual fans aren't watching the center once he snaps the ball.

Thanks Hoodoo!
another decent review
the best-
David Hawthorne: A (3.09) WHAT A GAME by Hawthorne, and what a season he is having. A complete transformation from the guy we saw last year. Perhaps most shocking when you consider that Lofton and Vilma were the ILBs taking snaps as starters in camp, and Ramon Humber was frequently the first guy spelling them (not Hawthorne). This guy couldn't be a more steady and secure starter at this point. He was all over the field and playing like a beast. He had 8 tackles, tied with Lofton for the team lead, a sack on a blitz,and a monster hit on Lewis on the first play to force a fumble/turnover. He played the run well, was pretty good in coverage and blitzed too. A complete game. Lofton and Hawthorne have been a remarkable tandem this season.
Junior Galette: A- (3.05) It's a good sign when the opposing offensive line is slowing him down by either double teaming him (one time he tried a spin move right into the double team and got lit up) or blatantly holding him. The hold in particular was big because it negated a long touchdown pass. Too bad that flag didn't come against the Patriots too. He wasn't great when he was put out on an island in coverage but other than that a pretty great game by Galette. He played the run very well, had 6 tackles and had a vicious sack on Lewis which knocked the ball loose. He also recovered the fumble on the first play of the game and returned it 3 yards. He's really putting together a big season.
Akiem Hicks: A- (2.67) He had 6 tackles, including two for a loss, and was a beast against the run once again. Fred Jackson had a hard time getting out of his grasp. For the second straight week Hicks has turned in a very high tackle total by holding his ground with impressive power and moving with surprising agility for his size. He also got a little pressure on pass plays. He started fast this season, then really slowed down, and has been red hot again the last two games.
PFF tweeted that Strief is the highest rated pass blocking OT in the entire NFL so far.

My God why can't we trade say...M Ingram for a all-pro type RT. The guy is costing us wins. Why? We need more Strief is the problem threads.

Would it be possible to slide Strief over to LT?
Just brainstorming.

Possible but his massive size makes speed rushers his weak link. That's usually the guy rushing on the blindside. Need a little more quickness there. That is Brown's strength. His weakness is more being overwhelmed by the bigger & stronger type.
