Brees' hight or lack of part of the Rams game plan on defense?

Brees does get quite a few passes tipped, and batted down... and up. They try to stay in front, in his throwing lanes, knowing that he isn't really going anywhere. What's bad about that is we let defenses do it. Dinking and dunking: he is fantastic, 0-25: he is great, but if he airs it out, flip a coin: its a matter of who wants it most. Knowing what we've got, we have to make it work, ala Sean Payton. I don't think his height is an issue. He is a smart QB with good skills. Let's make the most of what we have to work with. He has done a very good job, but we have to keep guys off of him and out of his lanes.
