Drew Brees does not need as much work in the preseason as the rest of the Saints roster. Brees sat out the team's preseason-opening win over the Jaguars last Thursday. Whether or not Brees plays on Friday night against the Arizona Cardinals remains to be seen. "We'll see," Saints coach Sean Payton said. Payton did say that New Orleans has a plan for the progression of each preseason game going into training camp, and then it varies based on certain factors. "It might be the health of certain players," Payton said. "We'll have more players healthy for this game than we did for Jacksonville." For the past couple of seasons, Brees has typically played in the second and third preseason games, although he did not play against the Chargers last year because the two teams held joint practices before the game. "Obviously, it is important for me to get some reps in the preseason," Brees said. "It's really just a matter of how many. I feel like getting some work in the second preseason game and the third preseason game prepares me plenty for the regular season." |

I'd like to see Brees in pre season #3 for a series or two as a "tune up" game. Savage, Taysom and JT need as many reps as possible.

I was hoping he would play a series since im going to that game. If not oh well I'll just evaluate our other guys.

The idea that Drew doesn’t need to play preseason games is absurd. Even Drew Brees needs game practice.
But hey, 0-2 won’t prevent us the playoffs |

WWTPD. Whatever the Pats do. Do that. They have a slightly older QB so follow their lead.

Taysom Hill will run with the ones this week; then Brees & the ones in Week 3 through most of the first half...

First Pick hit Meredith cleaning in the hands and he dug it like a volleyball into the air for a set-spike... Second Pick Ginn totally bailed on the play and made no effort to play defense on the throw; later, an annoyed Payton stated Ginn wasn't running route correctly... The two fumbles were on him even though his RB did him no favors either... Let's keep in mind this guy has seen a live game in nearly two years and the pressure was exacerbated by the entire rhythm of the offense in the hole... Making excuses, maybe; but reality is the INT weren't on him and this was one game... |
