Brady's numbers haven't been up to his usual standards. He's 17th in quarterback rating (50.9), and yards (1,211). Brady's seven touchdowns ranks No. 13 in the league.

It's no doubt been a struggle, but the group has been producing nonetheless, Galette said.

And the Saints aren't about to sleep on the Patriots after watching them over the years, he added.

"They have a real good team," he said. "You can't just put down the radio and say 'Oh no, they're not as good as they used to be.' ... It won't turn out good for us."

Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro said Brady "makes players better," and said he's noticed their progression from week to week in his film study.

"They're getting better. Dobson and Thompkins, I think they're good receivers," he said. "They're going to get on the same page. And I would expect them to be on the same page this week.

"Brady will have them ready. Edelman, he's a good receiver, I think he's underrated a little bit. I think he needs more credit because he runs great routes. And he catches everything."
