METAIRIE, La. -- Drew Brees has talked before about the character and culture issues that plagued the New Orleans Saints locker room last season. But he offered his most blunt assessment yet Wednesday when asked to explain why he thinks the Saints are an improved team from last year.

"Better people," Brees said. "Better guys. Guys that care about one another, guys that trust one another, guys that care about the process."

When asked if he was referring to several players the Saints parted ways with, Brees said, "Oh I don't know, I can just tell you the feel is much different."
