I truly believe that another factor was not having his safety blanket, aka Joe Horn, out there. The Saints are without question a better team with Horn on the field, but I think sometimes Brooks has so much faith in him that he forces throws into double or triple coverage instead of using his legs to pick up yardage. He doesn't seem to have nearly the trust in the other WR's (and they haven't earned that level of trust, though Stallworth's looking better this year).

I agree with much of this. Not all of it, but most of it.
