Tobias - Your points are well taken. Hopefully he can do it behind our OL this season and not get killed. The saints haven't be able to run a screen since Archie Manning.

who are you blaming for our inability to run the screen?

My brother who lives in FL who played QB for years thought the same thing until he saw the tapes.... it happens so fast you can't believe it.

Hopefully a smarter QB will eliminate muscle and being overpowered up front. It worked for Elway, Marino and Peyton.

Luckly Brooks had the talent to avoid the rush and many times to out run it. When QBs hold the ball too long it's because no one is open or they ran the wrong route. This leads to sacks and fumbles. Remember the who team was bad.

Do any of you think a bad team can make a good QB look bad? I don't want this to happen to Brees. Why do you think he wanted to go to Miami? I'm sick of looking at the offseason with blinders.

You do realize that the best season we ever had the pope was in town so you might have a point. This is a whole diffenent disscussion.

i seem to remember that.

my point was blaming Benson is an easy out. you claim to have footage of games from previous seasons, i'm sure you can find a few plays where we tried to run the screen, and it didn't work. the reasons vary, but starts with the fact that Brooks has NEVER been able to hide his primary target, and defenses read that.

check-off receiver? what's that?
