Apparantly Brees has looked less than stellar

TheOak · 08-20-2014, 06:36 AM

Who is he throwing to? Other than Colston or Meachem, our WRs don't know their own timing much less Drew having it down pat yet.

We are starting the third week of preseason, most of our WR have spent some time on the side, so has Drew...

Timing takes ... Time, and I am not really interested in peaking during preseason.

Has anyone been to practice to witness this? I feel like if it was a matter of timing they would have mentioned something. Wonder if he is still hurting. Maybe the D is just that good. Seems to me I remember the offense always looking a step behind the Defense once camp gets into full swing. Don't like hearing that he isn't looking so hot.

I watched most of the practise yesterday and he looked fine to me! Passing was crisp and on target in the drills I watched!

I read tweets from just about everyone covering the practices and not one mentioned that Drew looked bad. I would think if he looked bad at least someone would have mentioned it.

Maybe they meant he looked kinda rusty in his 1st practices after a 2 week absence, which is to be expected.

I don't think we have anything to worry about with Drew. We do have a few concerns, but Drew isn't one of them.

Ok makes sense. I remember earlier in camp they said Luke was waaaay better than Griffen. 2 days later they said Griffin has looked stellar all camp and there was no clear favorite.

Opening with the Clowns makes this a bit more relevant. He under threw a lot of deep balls last season and this injury gives defenses license to press all game until he can prove he can beat it. Any observations on this from the camp faithful?

Tweeters mentioned he threw a beautiful deep ball in his 1st practice with noticeable velocity and accuracy.

Small sample size I know, but thats all I got.

I saw a highlight of it, it was an awesome pass

Morgan didn't have to break stride at all and it came in perfectly, bobby and deke overreact and try to stir up stories when there aren't any

Bobby and Deke are sitting there, and Drew is supposed to be the franchise player, and they’re talking about practice. I mean listen, they're sitting there talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but they're talking about practice. Not the game that Drew goes out there and dies for and plays every down like it’s his last but they’re talking about practice man. How silly is that? … Now I know that Drew is supposed to lead by example and all that but he's not shoving that aside like it don’t mean anything. Drew knows it’s important... but they're talking about practice. They're talking about practice man. They're talking about practice. They're talking about practice. They're not talking about the game. They're talking about practice. When we go to the Dome, and we see Drew play, we've seen Drew play right? We’ve seen Drew give everything he's got, but they're talking about practice right now.

Hey I hear you, Bobby and Deke, it’s funny to me too, hey it’s strange to me too but you're talking about practice man, you're not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, you're talking about practice … How the hell can Drew make his teammates better by practicing?
