Brees

I think Defenses are learning how to play against Brees. Since he's undertall (wont use the "s" word on him) amd since he doesnt run, it's better to just push up the middle, clog up the passing lanes and contain him. I noticed several plays where we rolled him out the pocket. Redskins effectively used a controlled dropback/rollout when Theismann played.

That is easier said than done.... As far as not being able to run... P. Manning, T. Brady...

Drew was hanging on to the ball. Normally nothing matters to Drew, he can dink and dunk you to death... For some reason he was hesitant last night, a few times we had an open short pass and he didnt take it.

I noticed the same - and I wonder if this is the result of some new faces? I'm just guessing, but Drew doesn't violate that internal clock too often, so seeing that yesterday was definitely strange.
