I remember a couple posters saying something didn't look right with Brees last year, and thought he might be hurt. They were beaten about the head and neck area relentlessly. Turns out there was something wrong with Drew last year.

Its obviously too early to draw any conclusions, but I'm not gonna just dismiss the posiibility that he's not at 100% right now either.

Regardless of the BTA's during the lockout. Without having actual coaching staff present those workouts were basically worthless. We only been working out for a couple of weeks so I wouldn't stress about it just yet. Now come opening game and Brees is still off, then I will start to worry.

Drew was 1-4 in the first game, however Meachum should have caught that deep post on the last drive. I think Drew will be fine. Last year was an "off" year for Drew and he had 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs so even if he is having a down year, I am smelling SB!

With the running game I think we're going to have, our dependence of Drew's arm should lessen... and in turn, improve our overall efficiency. I know we won the Superbowl with Drew throwing over 650 passes, but I'd like to see us use the meat up front more and decrease Drew's passing attempts by 50+.

On top of that all he did quite a lot of "suit & tie" work on the players' side during the lockout - that could've also taken somewhat of a toll on his own workout routine - and more importantly - on his mental preparation for the coming season.

I dont know if Hebert is really a person to talk about someone else. His shw seems to be losing something this season

So, Drew Brees is mortal after all... lol

Oh no. He's just playing possum...

:mrgreen:

It seems to me the offense struggled at camp in '09 when GW brought his defense to play his first year. The competition will only make the Oline better and learn how to play together in a hurry.

I think he should be fine, I mean its Drew f'n Brees we are talking about here....
