Patton is the equivalent to Joe Horn for this team. He hasn't been around as long, so his leadership isn't as strong. However, his on field play reminds me of Joe Horn. He's consistent. He picks up first downs. Their styles are incredibly similar. I agree that he needs to be utilized more. Unfortunately, that's not in SP's playbook.

Totally like Patton but thats what a develop veteran WR in the NFL brings to the table. He's a professional WR.

There are lots of numbers missing from Payton's play book this year, and I have a tough time figuring out why. There are very few down the field routes - or maybe I should say down the field throws and that has to be by design. Is it just me, or does it seem like ALL of our routes are into heavy traffic? The lack of a commitment to the run is keeping Brees in deep doo-doo, and it looks like the same game plan every week, it doesn't matter who we are going up against. The little dinks and dunks and the 4, 3, 2 yard completions (sometimes -2) are making me sick. I know Brees has a better arm than that. I also have a tough time watching our defense lay back and get picked apart. I would bring everybody! I would rather see us get lit up in the first 2-3 seconds (at least we would have a chance to make a play) than to let QB's have 7-8 seconds to pick their spots and take whatever they want. There seems to be no adjustments being made. We either win or lose with our little pea shooter - and lately we've been getting blasted.
