1. A running game that the opposing defence actually respects. 2. An O-line that can execute the PA blocking. When a defence really respects your running game you will se safties starting to creep closer to the LOS to be in better position against the run. You will see CBs glancing to the backfield. LBs will shoot downhill in an instance if they smell a run. None of this is happening against us. Our opponents are not scared of any of our RBs so they are sitting back pretty blanketing our recievers and creating pressure with 4 men. The second part takes a lot of skill, first you need to get of the LOS in a real agressive manner to really make it look like a run, only to settle, get your feet underneath you and create a solid pocket for the QB to step up in. This can be especially tough against a good DT who can easily switch from runstuffing mode to a bullrush and thus collapsing said pocket. forcing the QB to roll out. Brees has not near the same armstrength when moving as he has when he can set up and use his whole body to throw. There you have it. Not so much about Brees as about everything around him. |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Re: 2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead
Brees has not always under thrown the deep ball, watch and see
If he did this for meachem yesterday ( put it in stride) meachem has a walk in TD, however meachem had to slow down for it which let the DB make a play I'm sorry but I think his arm strength isn't what it used to be, surely if the guy could put it in stride he would, why would he purposely under throw it and allow the DB to make a play like the 3 times yesterday. |

Yes, if you look on coacheshotseat.com/NFL/ Mike Smith has the number 5 seat, Payton the number 6 seat, Jason Garrett number 7.

Re: 2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead
Thats just stupid for Payton to be in the "hotseat." What 4/4 seasons with 10+ wins he's coached in the last 5 years is bad enough to be put on the hot seat? I'll admit he's arrogant and is slowly changing his ways, but hot seat? Really...?

Re: 2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead
How big of an influence do you guys think losing his QB coach (Lombardi) has had on Drew? When Detroit signed Lombardi as an OC at first & touted his resume for being Drew's QB coach, I thought, "Meh, Brees is self-coaching, who couldn't hold that job?" ... but in retrospect, I'm beginning to wonder if there wasn't some sort of bond there that may have had an impact on Drew ... you know, sorta' like losing your blankee when you were a kid,

Re: 2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead
That makes sense to me. There was an article on nola.com, Brees mentioned that the one thing that comes with age is the recovery process isn't what it once was. Sounds like to me he was saying, without saying it, that he isn't right from that injury...

Re: 2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead
No doubt that Lombardi was a big part of the QB unit behind the scenes. I mean Brees was always good in NO, but just look at how the numbers skyrocketed when Carmichael (who Brees knew from San Diego) shifted into offensive coordinator and Lombardi was slotted into QB's coach, under Payton. The whole thing just went into the stratosphere.
