Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

As per NOLA.com and NFL network, that's why he wasn't practicing today....

Apparently the back ups are playing well.

Payton says he's day to day; not serious at all

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

I doubt he plays against the Rams, there's no point in it.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

I think it's pretty typical for guys in their mid 30's to get days off camp. Any tweak or twinge is going to get Drew pulled and rested up.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

Let him rest until the regular season. Camp and practice are enough.

Nothing to see here.

Does the sky seem to be a little lower than it was yesterday? Maybe its just the fog but I swear I can almost touch the clouds.

This isnt the injury you need worry about, move along, move along.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

Payton pretty much said that if it were an actual game, he would have played. They rested him because it was sore...

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

Drew is 35. At that age in this sport, you worry about EVERY injury.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

Exactly.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

This is Brees' 14th training camp. I'm pretty sure he'd sit out if he stubbed his toe because its just not really necessary for him to play.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

Farve stopped going to training camp all together in the latter part of his career. Granted Brees would never do that. He is too much of a compeditor.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

I don't think Drew is the kind of athlete that sits out unless he's really hurting somewhere so it's probably bothering him. I think he'll be ok but I'm still a little concerned.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

I agree. He is known for his competitive nature and is pretty open about that fact.

Superman doesn't get hurt. He's Drew Bress!

Out again today. I think we might have an Olin Kreutz situation on our hands.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

So you think Drew's just gonna up and quit huh?

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

Hell no. I really don't want him to play against Greg Williams defense. I wouldn't put it past him to pull some shadey ****.

Re: Drew Brees out with a strained oblique
 

I just want him to develop the chemistry with the new guys. I dont care how long you play this game, chemistry is key to success. It also creates confidence. Even little things like handing the ball off to a new guy.

Im not worried, but we cannot settle. I really think we will win the SB this year. If that is the case, the stars must be aligned and everyone must be on the same page.

The sh!t must hit the toilet bowl, (insert Falcons) and you must flush it down the sewer.

He'll be alright.
