Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

I'm fully aware it wasn't a fair fight between the New England Patriots' Tom Brady and the secondary for the New Orleans Saints on Thursday.

The Saints were without many of their defensive backs (Keenan Lewis, Brandon Browner, Jairus Byrd, Kenny Vaccaro, Delvin Breaux) in team drills. The likes of Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Damian Swann, P.J. Williams, Kyle Wilson and Brian Dixon were responsible for trying to contain Brady.

They had no chance. It was a clinic.

Brady completely shredded the Saints during the two teams' final practice at The Greenbrier. Five of Brady's 18 passes went for touchdowns in the situational team drills. Brady only tallied two incompletions, but neither were his fault with Rob Gronkowski dropping the ball on those throws.

A clinic by Brady? Dang, where was the pass rush? Sounds like the Big Lebowski has more work to do :disgust:.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Only one or two of the DB's that participated will even make the team

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Always nice to hear our entire starting secondary are injured!

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

He shreds a lot of secondaries. He's done it all his career. It's why he will go down as the best QB to ever play the game and had the rings to prove it.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Johnny Manziel could shred that secondary.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

I'm not concerned that he was able to "shred" our 3rd and 4th string DBs. I'm concerned that the report says there was no defensive push from our line. THAT concerns me. We can have HOF DBs back there, and they'll eventually get smoked if there is no pressure up front.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

That is one consistent negative I have heard all camp. Our D could actually be worse than last year.

Brady Shreds Saints Secondary
 

My concern, right here:
This wasn't all on the secondary, though. There was no real threat of any pass rush by the first-team defense. So Brady could stand tall in the pocket and fire at will.

Thank God we gave Cameron Jordan an extension. I mean how could we manage without him? Should have traded that fat over hyped POS for a first or second rounder

Oh Boy here we go again.

What was that post about RR's sinking ship, were sinking before we leave Port.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

How do we know? Maybe the coaches wanted the scondary tested.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

not meant to be sarcastic (seriously), but unless he wanted that the entire season last year and first preseason game this year too, im going to say we have a problem..

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

From BR Advocate:

LACK OF PASS RUSH: Tom Brady was able to sick back and pick apart the defense on Thursday. After picking up four sacks during Wednesday’s session, the Saints did not appear to reach Brady once. One issue is that the quarterback got rid of the ball in 2.75 seconds or less on all but three of his passes. But still, the defense could have done a better job of making him feel uncomfortable.



Ok so sacks one day. Next day "Let's throw quick passes"... To me, that's on the secondary more than the d line.

Boy, one preseason game played and panic is rampant around here.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

I think it is last year's performance, but nice post! Good find 76

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Wednesday Brady didn't even have time to breathe we were on him so fast.
Not sure why the big change Thursday. The 2.75 sec drops are probably why.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

It's practice! PRACTICE! Come on man!

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

I would not at all be surprised if our offense struggles and the defense comes out of nowhere and everyone starts talking about it nationally. Can't count all the times something looked like a glaring weakness or a strength only to look completely opposite in the RS.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

I don't remember being all impressed with our 2009 training camp performance.

Re: Brady Shreds Saints Secondary
 

There were no starters in our secondary. He torched our second string.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Well that's encouraging. But still....aaaaagggghhhh!!!!!

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

FIRE SALE!!!

EVERYTHING MUST GOOO!!!

GET YOUR BAGS HERE FOLKS!

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

lmao!

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

could always be worse...could be the`skins and have that turd RG3...

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Who else feels like this a coin flip season? Last year we had so much hype I thought we would win 12 or 13 games. This year Im not sure what to expect, even when healthy.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

So many new players that this team is still a mystery. I can't tell if Payton is trying to do everything possible to quiet hype leading into the season or the media makes a big micro-managed deal about depleted positions and injuries. We've been lucky that injuries have not been season-ending so far.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Run!! Everyone run!!!! Get out while you can!!!!

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Last week we got waggled to death. Now we're getting shredded.

I'm a hard line sun shiner, but somebody's gonna have to give me a pep talk. I fear our defense is at least as likely as not to offer up yet another stinker of a season.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Just Brady being Brady.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Here's who he shredded...
Travis Manning
Terrence Frederick
A.J. Davis
Jamarca Sanford
Damian Swann (Rookie)
P.J. Williams (Rookie, 2nd practice back)
Kyle Wilson
Brian Dixon

Still worried?

Re: Brady Shreds Saints Secondary
 

Bingo. Cam has a long way to go as an OLB. I hope they move him back to DE and stop this experiment on the field by the beginning of the season. give him time during practices to learn during the year.

We need a pass rush inside!

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Less, but yeah.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

It's only pre season game #2. Still way too early to show your hand on either side of the ball.

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Weren't like half those dudes starting for us by the end of last season...holy shiit. lol

Re: Tom Brady shreds depleted Saints secondary in final practice
 

Not so much in the game. 3, 3 and outs.
