What's Up With Drew Brees

The O-Line can not hold off our opponents long enough for the receivers to get down field. If the team can fix the problems with the O-Line, then the team will become a contender again.

You speak the truth my man!

Unless the O-line can step up his protection Brees will have a tough time making it work.

There is something wrong with Brees and we all know it. When he attempts a downfield pass (more than 15 yards) they look very very weak. One of the longer passes he completed (against the Titans) was a lame duck and he's glad it wasn't intercepted. I don't care what you guys say about the blocking there is something wrong with him. He doesn't look like the leader of last year.

Didn't Brees have an operation on his shoulder or some other injury before last season? Perhaps, he's not 100% liek we think. I never thought of that...

Simply put...Agreed!!

This is going to seem rather silly to some of you posters. But, I really believe that the season will be saved if they dig up those trophys and awards from last year and bury something from the year before. I think they buried our new team when we should have buried our old one. Sean Payton is in my opinion an excellent head coach, but I think right now he is outcoaching himself. He is trying to be to sly and he hasn't shown a pattern of any sort for a defense to be expecting. He is so busy try to throw a curve that he is forgeting about the heavy heater that got him to the little dance last season. We were supposed to be running at them hard, hitting that tight end we acquired and then busting them open with Colston and Henderson. What's happening? And now Duece. Oh yeah the defense. Lord help me please. Can Marvin Mitchell play any ball. He's on the practice team. Ring him up. Give him a cap. Let's see if he can make a play. Hell, that's better than play action on fourth and a half.
As far as the line goes. I can't understand how or why they would be this bad after being I thought very good. I would expect them to get stronger as a unit in their second campaign. It is unbelievable. It is unatural, therefore supernatural...i.e. VooDoo. And I ain't talking arena football. It is the casket full of awards, trophys, and a mock championship banner buried on Airline Hwy. They buried our championship spirit, mojo, swagger or whatever you want to call it. That's my opinion. And that and $1.25 will get ya to Canal on the Claibourne.

Welcome back Stoney. Good post.
Peter King interviewed coach Payton and said that we will probably see a different o-line against the Panthers after the bye week. Bring on Alleman, Bushrod, and Streif. I'm eager to see some protection for Brees. When he's protected he's a great quarterback.

SaintsRule has a good memory - does anyone else? Where was all of the sympathy and support when Brooks was getting his head taken off. Brooks was at the top of his game until we opened up his blind side by letting Willie Roaf get away - straight down hill from there. Now Brees has ants in his pants and can't plant his feet. Average QB's would shine given time to throw coupled with a 4.7 yard per carry running game. No time and no running game, even homie Peyton would get his a$$ handed to him in our current scenerio.

OH YES. I have been pointing out the problem has been our O Line for years and all anyone wanted to put the blame on was Brooks. Now Brees looks the same way. Until we fix the line even Manning would look the same way if we had him behind them.

Hell even Grossman got into a SB. Its not the freakin QB's its the protection.
