I think that it's because of Brown being out that Drew is getting hit more often and I think that Nicks is the reason that the running game has gotten better.

The majority of Brees sacks have come from behind. Stinchcomb and Bushrod have their respective ends on lock and Brees is holding the ball. I understand he’s trying to make a play but he holds the ball a little to long not as long as Green Bay’s QB but Brees holds it to long. Ex. When he fumbled the ball in the Carolina game, the receivers were covered and Drew steps up in the pocket as he steps up no one is open, Drew should have ran and slide for some yardage instead he’s hit from behind but he fumbled and now down 14-0. As far as Bushrod and Brown are concerned IMO Brown should go back to right tackle and Stinchcomb and Strief will be excellent back ups. Now Nicks is a road grader and decent in pass protection.

But Drew Dat will fix Dat and we be back like Dat - yeah!!
