Dez Bryant Signing With Saints

Rugby Saint II · 11-07-2018, 11:44 AM

Drew is the leader in that locker room and I'm sure they will get on the same page on and off the field. If Dez wants the ball from Drew he's gonna' have to play nice.

Actually this is probably the interesting question. Honestly if Dez wants the ball from Brees, he's going to have to make himself available. Separation really was never Dez's strong suit. Much of his production with Romo was based on 50/50 jump balls. Brees throws the ball to the open man, and to the man he trusts. So it'll be interesting to see if he and Dez can develop to the point where Brees is willing to either throw Dez open, or throw a 50/50 ball like he used to do with Graham and trust that his guy is the only one to come down with it.

Even if he doesn’t get open, he’s going to take at least some coverage away from Thomas, Kamara, and the others...

There's still only 11 players. Do you think other teams didn't cover Cameron or Smith? They aren't going to double Bryant, he doesn't make everyone else suddenly open. Is Dez better in some sets that Meredith or Smith? Of course or we wouldn't have signed him, but remember folks, we didn't sign Calvin Johnson.

So what do you do when you have Thomas, Watson, Bryant, and Kamara all running routes?

Actually, Brees does throw the man open, and not necessarily just jump balls. His accuracy allows him to thread the needle and consistently complete passes to receives who are well covered.

Physically, Dez is a lot like Thomas. I'm confident that Brees is responsible for much of Thomas' success. He's a good receiver. Brees makes him great.

Let's hope the Brees can to the same for Dez.

Brees does a better job than most at connecting with receivers who ARENT open. With his accuracy He is a master at throwing into coverage and placing the ball in a tiny space where only his target can get it.

The #Saints would like to see Dez Bryant get down about 5 more lbs but liked what they saw at workout. He’s been training w WR coach David Robinson working on his hip flexibility, foot quickness in short area spaces, intermediate route running and attacking routes harder
