Drew Brees sends message to Saints offense

WhoDat!656 · 09-28-2012, 11:47 AM

Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports that Brees gave a speech to the Saints offense on Wednesday designed to send a message that it is time to stop making excuses and start playing better football. He also declined some of the interview requests that he regularly accepts in order to make it clear that the only focus on anyone’s mind in New Orleans should be getting better on the field.

“The message was you have to find a way for you to play better,” tackle Zach Strief said of Brees’ speech. “Don’t look outside of you, don’t point at another guy, don’t look for the answer anywhere but inside yourself.”

not sure what to think about it yet...
Good job for Brees but why isnt the coaching staff delivering motivational speeches???? kromer is a god damn joke. The team really does look like an extension of him on the field...mellow, soft, lack of urgency, boring, etc, etc...

Don't blame this on Kromer. He isn't the one going out there and blowing coverages and missing tackles.

But coaches are responsible for fixing that when it happens too often.

I don't know if you never noticed, but Coach Payton hardly ever chewed anybody out (except the refs), and almost never shows any emotion to any of the players
