That means we are effectively 'rushing' our defence onto the field. That is NOT something I want to do.

We have proven in the Brees/Payton era that we are a near unstoppable offensive juggernaut. I wouldn't change something that simply isn't broken. Only two things ever stand out on offence to me as something I would want to tweak. 1) Use the run game more. We have a great committee and can further open up play action for Brees. 2) Throw the ball away on a dead play. Whilst Drew can make miracles happen, he does also bin one too many crappy passes into the opposition when a row Z Hail Mary would have been better.

Loving the enthusiasm coming out of these reports and out of camp generally but changing our offence and how we put points on the board...sceptical. Very sceptical.
I'll reframe it for you.

1. You never handicap your best asset..... Ever. Especially to compensate for a weak point.
2. Drew picking up the pace means less time for defenses to substitute, less time to figure out the play... Less chance we are covered and theoretically cuts down on interceptions.
3. Scoring too fast only happens in the last 2 minutes of most games.... What are we running in the last two minutes anyway? The 2 minute, no huddle, hurry up offense.

4. You call it unbroken... I would call it somewhat figured out, see the last three years INTs. Take away those INTs and we are not just good, we are devastating.



Do you think Payton Manning is as good as he is because of pure physical skill? He runs this same high speed style, and he catches defenses substituting with 12 men on the field often.
