Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

I read that tweet from Holder and my head suddenly felt like splitting..then he said 'Don't fear. Brees is running Raiders plays for the defense to see." LOL

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

Trippet ~ #Saints defense got the better of offense for most of practice again today, ending with controversial "win" in 2-minute drill. Malcolm Jenkins killed drive with interception, cutting in front of lance Moore. But Jimmy Graham might have scored a 65-yard TD a few plays earlier. They ruled him down because S Roman Harper got a hand on him, but graham may have been able to break the tackle if it was full contact. ... DT Akiem Hicks had a monster practice, including a batted pass and tackling Darren Sproles for a loss during that final drill. ... Great catch by Nick Toon among other highlights.

I could see Payton mixing in some pistol but without Drew running the option just for formation and to find/abuse mismatches

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

As long as he slides 3 yards before anyone touches him I'm OK with it.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

Is there a slide-snap?

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

Definitely leave that at practice and only when he wears a red jersey!

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

Hmmmmmmm................
That sounds a little foolish even from Payton.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

I thought that was why we brought Seneca in? To teach our D this stuff? Get Brees outta there, FOO!

"They ruled him down because S Roman Harper got a hand on him..."
If Harper tackled everyone he "got a hand on," he'd be a hall of famer...
The problem is, he doesn't tackle everyone he gets a hand on.

Im thinkin that too. Can we let Luke run that play?

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

3rd and 1 to go..... Who do they expect? Ingram.

What do they get? Pistol Brees

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

Does seem strange & a bit..., uhhh - stupid.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

The flip-side is that Graham nearly always goes down on first contact.
That is a huge hole in his skill set.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

huh?
I've woke up in another dimension. Lets look at the film.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

I'd tend to agree with Rocky on this. Not EVERY time, but I'd say MOST times.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

Excellent observation my friend. I've stated that as well on a couple occasions. For such a big athletic man, he drops like a rock on contact.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

i cant believe yall find something to ***** about with Jimmy Graham.
geez. he's a beast.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

Not *****ing, just nit picking. He's a top 5 TE, with potential to be #1.

If thats all we have to nit pick, he's obviously a superstar.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

WHY?????????????????

Are we trying to get out of Drew's contract with a medical retirement?!?

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

After watching Seneca Wallace in the game tonight, in hindsight I can see why Drew was running those plays. Seneca was useless out there. I can't see him teaching a defense much of anything.

Re: Drew Brees runs the option twice in practice
 

I don't think old Seneca will be around. Whers was R own RG3
