2 things about our offense that drive me nuts!!

For those that have chosen to ignore Saintz08 keep doing so .

For those that wonder how the Saints could lose to the Lions here is how . This might take some tape rolling but well worth the time .

Note the defensive ends on the lions , they have begun to spread wider on Brooks and go contain assignment . This is eliminating Brooks emergency route change . The safeties are playing the inside routes more so and making it harder for Brooks to hit the inside hook routes . When Brooks does hit the routes the safties make the receivers pay .

Brooks once again is a fast ball pitcher , who is extremely limited in his passing ability . Brooks has no touch on the ball and cannot throw the touch pass . Brooks cannot hit the deep ball and that limits the offense . For those that say Brooks is only in his second season , Harrington has the ability in only his second game . Brooks is throwing the passes to hard on certain routes , watch balls sail through Sloans hands time and time again , high hard balls are very hard to catch . To further prove a point , go to the Stallworth touchdown and see what the trainer has to do to Stallworths forearm after he catches a rocket pass .

Brooks inability to hit these passes , limits the offense , puts the receivers with their backs too the defenders and makes his reads harder to get . The only difference between the 3 wins and the one loss is defense . The defense could not get the big turnovers and stops which shorten Brooks playing field .

One other note : special teams . There appears to be no wedge blocking on Kick off returns , it\'s either that or Beer man has developed a nasty tendecy to go to the sidelines immediately .
