More and more it feels like Zach Strief will soon be the voice of the Saints

Like the guy and everything he’s done for the organization but I’m not sure he should be thrown in to play-by-play.

Put him at sideline reporter and go with either Hoss or Sean Kelley

may be a solid choice but Strief has potential for long term excellence with incredible football iq and knowledge of Saints team and organization.

Underhill seems to know what's up, generally. If he's staked his balls to this, which he has done with the article... I'd say it's probably 90 percent chance it's Zach.

Now... next question... who will be sideline reporter?

Everyone is going to long for Henderson regardless of who is pick. However, if I'm Deuce, I don't know if I really want Strief, because for this particular team, who would be a better analyst than Strief? I'd imagine at least 75% of the time Strief is going to know what play is coming before it happens. As the pbp guy, does he usurp Deuce's role? Deuce is fine and knows the game, but he doesn't and can't know this team as well as Strief.

That’s a short term issue for Deuce. 3-4 years down the road, Strief won’t know anymore about the team than Deuce will.

I saw Zach at the gas station yesterday. I told him I hope he gets it, he just chuckled

It's called a publicity campaign. He wins regardless if he gets it or not.

Uhh they have one already. The bigger question is who's the postgame Saints radio announcer.

Underhill knows more about what happens at your employer than you do

From the link in the OP

quote:

Kristian Garic would have been another one, but it sounds like he will be moving from the sidelines to host the pregame and postgame shows.


So I assume just like Deke and Bobby did the Countdown to Kickoff and the Point After, now it will be Garic and Bobby

Has anyone ever found out why Deke got pushed out under the cover of darkness?

Doesn’t he have a communications degree from Northwestern? Coupled with his playing experience, on paper he might have the most impressive resume a Saints PbP guy has ever had.

I hope he gets a chance. A few years back had an opportunity to spend a few hours with him and his wife after a game (it was a charity package deal). Very good people. He is smart and I think he will do well after the initial growing pains that anyone would have.

Sean Kelley doing PBP & Strief on color would be an excellent team. Strief doing PBP almost immediately after retiring just seems off.

let the pre/post game shows be Garic/Bobby/Deuce. it'll suck, but it's gonna suck with any combination of Garic and Bobby involved so whatever.

Think I saw that the Raiders added Brent Musburger as their radio announcer. Not that I would want him, but wonder why Saints are not looking outside of their own backyard.
