I said two out of the last three games because I saw a lot of standing around by Drew in the Colts game. Not sure what that was about, but obviously he got it corrected, and as Danno said he's got the zip back.

The O line also seems to be coming around. That was a lot of Brees' problem last year. No time for receivers to get separation so he just checked down to the big target. His completion percentage was good but not the YAC.

Even though Cooks isn't putting up huge numbers it appears Payton is getting value out of him. His acceleration and speed means he can quickly spread the D, opening up the middle routes for the likes of Watson and Sneed. That wasn't happening last year.
