Brees will start against Cowboys
 

After Friday's practice, coach Sean Payton said, "I think he's planning on starting and we're planning on starting him." Payton also said. "He looked crisp today. I think he's going to end up starting and based on the way the week unfolded each day, I felt like he's made the progress we're looking for."

Finally, Payton said Brees did not have a torn rotator cuff.

But to what extent will he be effective?

If he can't hit a receiver down field because of injury then we are asking for trouble.

SP said "he looked crisp".
Crisp is good right?
Crisp means we are not just rolling the dice right?
I think my ears just stood up...
If I raise my tail everybody move out of the way.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I feel pretty good about our chances for a win Sunday night. Yes the absence of Romo and Bryant helps, but I like the fact the team isn't giving up.

Drew said he was inspired how his team fought last week. He knows he's got to start playing within his abilities and strengths.

This will be a good game. I think we've got it.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Crisp like in a fresh pack of Juicy Fruit!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Getcha some Drew! Light up those Cowgirls!

I'd like nothing more than Drew to shut everyone up about this ridiculous trade talk. (No offense anyone). I'm sick of it!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I betcha NBC senior execs are doing back flips right now.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Pull the injured Drew after FIRST duck.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

If one deep pass is short they better pull him. At that point he is no longer our best option.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Well he sucked on the sidelines in Carolina. :ohno:

My gawd! Some of you, and you know who you are, will find anything you can to b!tch about. Y'all must be a real frickin' joy to live with.

:annoy:

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Ok... Maybe we can agree he was just a little odd looking. ;)

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

It is annoying isn't it.

Our first ballot HOF franchise QB is back. "Pull him out! Trade him! Get rid of him!" And replace him with who? Grayson? Keep dreaming.

I hope he shuts everyone up this Sunday. Good Lord. Spoiled ass fans. Lol.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

You got it all wrong, he was practicing for his next Crocodile
wrestling episode.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I just don't want to see the same scenario we had with Brooks, man was hurt still out there. It's Better for Brees, the team and fans if he is healthy as he can get. We have a solid back's up in the meantime. No point in putting everyone through it. If Doc Andrews thinks it's a good idea and Brees feels good then let's roll.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

This is NO DOUBT how some of our Beloved Fan Base thinks. :cool:

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I love this, still laughing!!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

IF!!!!!! Drew is now fully fit for Sunday's game then we should be fine!

I'm sure the Coaching staff know what they are doing and are following the medical staffs reports as well.

I really want to see Drew have a great game against the Cowboys but please, please don't start him if there is the slightest sign that the shoulder isn't 100% yet!

I would assume the Cowboys D are going to be looking to put as many hits on that shoulder as they can and that could mean big trouble for Drew, for the rest of the season if/when they get to him!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!! . . . . . . . . GEAUX DREW!!!!!! (as long as your healthy) lol!!!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees told Ellen DeGeneres that he will “absolutely” play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Brees, in his awesome guy fashion, also surprised two fans with an inspiring gift.

Brees appeared on “Ellen,” affirming that he would be back in action after taking a week off due to an injury he suffered against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“First of all, I love you. You know how much I love you. How are you feeling, and I need you to play this Sunday. Are you gonna play this Sunday?” DeGeneres asked Brees.

“For you, absolutely,” Brees said.

Joking and smirking aside, Brees said he is “very confident” he will be able to play.

“I practiced today; I feel good, so we’ll see how it progresses. But there’s not anything that’s gonna keep me off the field this Sunday,” he told Ellen.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Drew being back is beyond awesome, but I hope we get the running game going to help him out. Even though he is healthy we don't need to over work his arm or shoulder. Get Spiller and Robinson some more touches and for the love of god come up with some better blocking schemes for Ingram and we are getting are first W. A good running game is a QB's best friend.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I identify this team as being winners. I know what the record is on the surface but inside, I have always felt this way, even as a child I knew I was different constantly rooting for a losing team.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Maybe Ellen should start.

And Byrd can be her backup.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

If he throws 4 TD he's probably fine if he throws 4 INT.'s I don't want to hear, well he must still be hurt. Goes both ways. I do want to see the deep ball throws with accuratcy.

queue teddybarexxx Brees hate comments in 5....4....3.....2......1.....

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

deep ball, deep ball, blah, blah ,blah...

If he can make accurate 25-35yds throws I'm fine.

Nowadays only Rodgers scares defenses with his deep ball (not including bums that throw it out there and hope something will happen). Other "elite" QBs like Manning and Brady are playing dink and dunk.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

That Cowboys' defense that you seem to be so concerned about is last, yes dead last, in the entire NFL in QB pressures with only four, yes, that is FOUR, in their first three games. Just as a point of reference, the Saints are tied for 15th with Seattle and the Vikings with 12.

Oh, and the teams that are next to last (Lions, Dolphins, Browns) have seven each.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Didn't Brady "dink and dunk" the Patriots to a Superbowl win last year?

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

True. They had no solution for Vereen, Edelman...

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

If we dinked and dunked our way to a superbowl win, I'd take it!
Heck, if we ran the wishbone option the rest of the season and somehow got to the playoffs, I'd be ecstatic!!!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I have a feeling he throws for 5 TDs. Mark this sh!t down. He will play lights out!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I think the offense has to throw deep. Colston has became a liability underneath unless he is wide open. Even still he may not catch it. If you look at other teams like GB, their WR's will haul in some difficult grabs. I don't think we have that on this team. We don't have that anymore so you have to stretch the field to create passing lanes or get the PI.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Everything is gonna be alright now. Drew really does live for the game. We have been honored to have had him for the past 10 years and we will have him till "he" decides to retire a Saint.

Let's turn the season around starting this week.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

ugh.
crisp?
Like a bag of potato chips ready to be broken?
could we let Drew sit a couple more weeks and get some hot tub
and ben gay?

I'd just as soon have a fresh, healthy body behind center, while this O-line
gets time to "gel." Why risk what little future we have?

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Crisp as in potato chip. Looks good until it's hit!

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

I still think we will win the division.

Re: Brees will start against Cowboys
 

Colston has just been messing around. He is about to get serious now.
