In one of those funny twists of football fate, Zach Strief has been Mike McGlinchey and Mike McGlinchey is now Zach Strief.
OK, strictly speaking, that might be overstepping the bounds of the known universe, but if the NFL were actually scripted, the pair would find their respective parts awfully familiar.
If this were a family tree, Denver’s new offensive line coach Strief would be at the end of a pretty darn straight line above the Broncos’ new right tackle McGlinchey.
Strief, you see, spent years and years as a trusted right tackle in a Sean Payton-run offense.
