Re: Brees Additional Injuries
This is supposed to be a team game, no? It's very likely why Tampa attacked. and stacked the line. They brought Jameis in for a trick play long pass. Hill missed a wide open wr for a TD in the previous game. If Brees was that injured, then SP cost the Saints yet another birth to the next round.

He knew DB posed very little "threat" downfield but it took a well executed gadget play to beat coverage with a live arm of Jameis. Sean Payton is a top offensive mind, but sometimes I believe he still thinks he has a 30 year old Brees under center. |

Anytime we need to stretch the field, Taysom is under center. Brees can no longer effectively throw the deep pass (25-30 yards) consistently. Sanders & 3quan have been limited with #9. |
