Drew Brees is most of the problem

Review last year's number of passes defensed versus this year on film.

It only takes a few games to see the difference.

DB's didn't suddenly get better. The QB is hesitating enough to give them an opportunity on defense.

There was a stat last year heading into week 12 vs Patriots, that Bush had scored 5 Touchdowns in 6 games, IN THE REDZONE. He's a huge weapon everywhere on the field, but he is on another level when we get into the redzone. We need him back!

Just what I am saying. The problem isn't Brees at all. It is Bush. Or the lack of Bush.

The Flying Frenchman as well. PT is under valued but he only lost 1 fumble last year and he is very sure handed out of the backfield. Unlike our current backs.

It only takes a few games to see the difference in our fumbling the ball more, blocking less, and dropping more passes too. Did DTs suddenly get better and so are breaking through our line more? Did LBs get better and are hitting harder and causing more fumbles and injuries? Did the goalposts get closer and are therefore causing more missed kicks? There has been plenty enough under-performing on the team collectively to label Brees as "most of the problem".
