Sound bytes from Superbowl year, and one of the mantras that Payton keeps preaching to the offense in games and during practice is "Tempo! Tempo!" I remember Brees used to break the offense out of the huddle w a lot of tempo. O-linemen running to the line of scrimmage and Brees exuding a lot of energy. Sometimes the defense is caught offguard and are rushed to make their adjustments because of our tempo. Fast-forward to today. No more tempo. Brees breaks the huddle, O-line saunters to the LOS, and Brees casually gets into position. Maybe this isnt a big thing, but sometimes its the small things that make the difference between a SB winning team and all the others.
