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

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

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

Is there a slide-snap?

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

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

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.
