What's Up With Drew Brees

JOESAM2002 · 09-26-2007, 10:58 PM

I have to agree with you guys. If your line doesn't block you butts in trouble. Brees hasn't been all world, but I place much of the blame on the offensive line. From what i've seen of them, they are terrible. Worse than that if possible. Defensive line isn't any better. I think our whole defense is weak at best. None of them are playing up to their potential.

Totally a agee both lines have failed! The amount of money they are getting and the level they are playing at doesn't add up.

I just don't understand what happened between last year and this year. You don't get luckyand win 10 games. At least on the offensive side of the ball the line played much better last year. Maybe it is the fact of all the hype during the last few months. Maybe they started to believe all the write-ups. I still believe that these guys can play, but they sure need to get off their collective butts and play. These guys have been tossed around like rag dolls this year. Poor old Drew is starting to remind me of Archie. The thing is, you can't point the finger at any one lineman. They're all guilty of playing like crap. I'm for putting in some or all of the replacement players. At least someone who wants to earn a job. Looks to me like the starters believe to much in how good they are. It's almost to late, but they need to learn, they're not as great as they think they are. If they keep playing at this rate, Deuce won't be the only injury this year. We might not have a running back to finish the year with.

No O-line. However, even when he does have time to throw he's been throwing junk balls.
Drew threw a ball way too high for Deuce and now Deuce is out for the year.
I love Drew. I hope that this team gets better before the Panthers. If not, I may have to sell my ticket for the Seattle/Saints game.

I agree whole-heartedly. Though its trendy to blame the poor play across the on the blocking, even when DB has time his passing is inaccurate and has no touch. This is the kind of arm I feared I would see last year. By no means have I given up on him (I think he's closer to the guy who played last year), but it concerns me that under the pressure of things not going right, he plays badly.

I've been saying this type thing for the past few weeks. Everyone here keeps saying "O-line" "O-line" "O-line" "O-line". Then, when you mention Drew not not being accurate and needing to suck it up and figure out why he's 75% of the problem, people ask if you saw the same game they did or, they'll wanna sell you a bridge in a desert, etc etc. Truth is that as soon as Drew gets his accuracy back the O-line will magically be playing better.

That isn't the truth... far from it. If you get a line he'll get the confidence and he'll make plays. You can't make plays if you are wondering if your horrible O-line is going to stop a 320 pound DT from flattening you ass. He is what you call Shell-shocked. You have to depend on your team-mates and they aren't getting it done.

Here is more proof... go and actually watch the games and cound how man seconds Brees has before he has to step up or make a move. He doesn't have much time to even set his feet before he has to worry about running or dodging someone. Buy him sometime and he'll come around and WR will get open.

I knew the O Line was in trouble before the season started. Why? Because I heard an announcer going on about what a great O Line New Orleans has.

I knew it was over as soon as I heard that.

I don't have every game taped or I would. Give me a place I can get them from or a torrent where I can d/l them and I'll go look at it.
