Apologies to Pierre Thomas

I did miss bits and pieces of the game here and there but... from what I did catch, even when Reggie motioned out on a couple of plays, there was no shadow on him. Now while the safeties and OLB did look his way, he was not doubled or assigned a spy... they just ran their defense. Colston on the other hand typically had a safety over the top and well covered. Once again though... I did miss a few series here and there.

While most teams typically give Reggie extra attention, I find that it wasn't the case last night.

Drawing "a" LB is single coverage, not triple.

My comments have nothing to do with wether he made some good plays or not. My comments address the notion that he's always triple teamed, which based on what I see is totally incorrect.

It's all about playing your part, and at least Reggie is willing to do it. That block last night was a huge boost for me.

Is this what its come to? A blitz pick up?

Are we really heaping praise on an 8 million dollar RB because he blocked a blitzing LB right in front of him?

And what about the other two players? What did he do to them?

If he's being triple teamed every play then he's damn sure is worth the 12 million dollars he's due next season.

So if he's triple teamed on every play, and the other team blitzes, that leaves only 3 defenders to cover Moore, Colston, Meachem, Evans and Graham.

Thats at least two players left totally uncovered on every play. Dayum, no wonder Brees is so awesome.

I'm not saying he's worth it. But the 8 mil thing is the last resort of Reggie shunners. Looking at college, who wouldn't have signed him to that.

He's not exactly triple teams. ALTHOUGH, 3-4 players will shift to Reggie's side. This let's Brees know coverage, and gives leverage to the WR. Imo, Brees has deeper throws with Bush out there.

Sorry to start the Reggie controversy again.......

I sense a thread that is soon to die...

CashAndFlash · 12-28-2010, 03:53 PM

Like I said. 15 yard average when he's in, 5 when he's out. That's worth several million right there. I was a Reggie doubted until I read that stat.

I can't speak to pt's game yesterday, but I have yet to see him play with anything less than a lion's heart.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
