This year in particular and mostly in the last few games, am i the only one that noticed a gross amount of penalties on Brees while he stands at the line and tried to call out coverages? That is DLPs frikken job to do, DLP/the Center is responsible for calling the blocking assignments of the front 7, drew should be looking for mismatches in the secondary.

This would explain the delay of game penalties, and Drew not having the time to scan all of his receivers match ups in time. Would make logical sense that if you are QB and having to make the line calls for your line to protect your azz and they are not doing it well, when the ball is snapped you have only a few seconds find the receiver of choice. In Drew's case he doesn't have the time to find the "open" miss matches, so he goes where he knows will be the safest throw. Jimmy Graham.

I could be dead wrong but it makes logical sense of a lot of things for me personally.
I like your theory BUT...do you have any explanation why it's happening now, but didn't happen in 2011, 2010, when it's been De La Puente at center the whole time? Maybe De La Puente is not taking to the new zone blocking scheme?

And there have been plenty of snaps in earlier games this year, I've noticed in home games in the Dome, where it came right down to the "00" on the clock, including some where the clock was clearly expired on double-zero and the refs have sorta "given" Drew an extra beat or portion of a second, like as if "00" counts as its own extra second.
