Brees Additional Injuries

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Not sold on Winston being the answer at all. In the very limited minutes this year there wasn't much to see. And you saw last weekend that as good as the D has been even they can't keep bailing you ...

Re: Brees Additional Injuries

Not sold on Winston being the answer at all.
In the very limited minutes this year there wasn't much to see. And you saw last weekend that as good as the D has been even they can't keep bailing you out when defending a short field.

Most of my post have probably looked to be critical, its not meant to be but taking the Saints glasses off and just looking at the facts on the table.

Personally i quiet excited at a new future and see plenty to be optimistic about.

New coaches always bring new ideas and new training regimes,ideas and keep things fresh. Shame we lost Glenn,especially if Allen does get a HC job. Time to move on from some players and 100% time to move on from the sick notes that can't stay healthy over multiple seasons.

Some big changes coming but some good drafting the next two years,some clever scouting and trading and there is no reason that by the start of the 2023 the Saints cannot be looking to make a deep run. Tampa will be done by then as even Brady isn't going on much longer,Falcons and Panthers are not great and need to fill as many holes as the Saints.

Should have 2 3rd round comp picks this year, and would expect a few next year to go with the 3rd they will have for Terry Fontenot leaving.

Re: Brees Additional Injuries

Hindsight: he should have stopped playing VERY EARLY in the year and set his sights on next year then. It was a stupid year anyway with Covid and no fans. Nearing the end of his career I can see the desire to keep playing especially with the talent we had. I do not fault him, nor do I hope he retires. One more SHOT Drew!! Come on! The heck with the naysayers...you'll get them onboard with winning. We all know you have it in you. So do you. give it a shot.
On the flip side, if Drew doesn't come back I am very cool with Taysom being our guy, but will miss what I consider could be Drew's possibly best year. Oh yeah, I mean it.

Re: Brees Additional Injuries

I’ve been hesitant to post this because I’m not exactly sure how to word it but since the season ended we’ve heard of just how bad guys like Brees, MT, Tre’Quan, etc have been injured due to them having surgeries now. I haven’t heard a peep about Cam Jordan being more injured than he let on. If what I saw from him on the field this season was not him being hindered by injury then I’m scared. He was NOT being double-teamed all the time. In fact, I saw reps where he was at a 9-technique and got blocked by a TE.

Cam doesn't get mentioned because.. well people just assume he is performing like he did in 2015-2017.. He isn't preforming that well but we cant talk about defense.

Re: Brees Additional Injuries

It was disrespectful to the veterans who had one last shot at a ring for Brees to “suffer” through 5 significant injuries and play at 50%. You play the game to win, not supplicate the ego of an currently incompetent player.

This was a self inflicted gunshot to the knee.

We have had a triage for a team most of the year. Who else disrespected the practice squad receivers by playing hurt?

That statement ignores the context of most of the season doesn't it?

Well, I'll miss him but I'll bet Brittney and the family will be glad to have daddy home more now.
