I was pretty sure that Hagan was being facetious. But this one seems legit.

We really are talking about a HOF QB in an offense that's been stable for close to a decade, that has had slight turnover and additions.

The only ones who may get a bit stiffed is Cooks, Lelito, and maybe Armstead.

But honestly if the complete first team goes into the 3rd quarter of the 3rd preseason game, and everyone is healthy enough to practice for the final 3 weeks before the opener, which means starting after Friday's game, then everything should be fine.

I really hope that Payton plans to simply hand the ball off to Ingram and Robinson for 35 carries and run the ball right down the Falcons' throats on September 7th. Then there won't be much worry about Brees or any of the rest of the offense.
