In 19th season, Saints QB Drew Brees eager for new things, even running WR routes
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Originally Posted by K Major Some forget that Brees had no release valve in 2018. Now we have Jared Cook (see Brees comments in article). He's not just a TE but a threat defenses must account for. This will open ...

A coached-up, seasoned Tre'Quan Smith splitting the field opposite Michael Thomas... FA Cook running down the seams with Kamara on wheel routes are underneath flats... So Brees just needs to make his pre-snap read, determine who's getting double-teamed, and then take what the defenses give 'em... So teams will be in dime packages with two of those defenders stuck in mano y' mano and five offensive linemen to block five defensive pass rushers... Advantage ---> Saints... |

Re: In 19th season, Saints QB Drew Brees eager for new things, even running WR routes
Went back, viewed Tre'Quan's NFL Combine Performance tonight -
...
Other than the 40yd dash (he ran 4.49 sec) and Bench Press (he competed unlike most WRs, 12 reps of 225#s), he was the top 2018 WR performer - in all other categories... Watching his combine workout film, I could see what Payton fell in love with Smith's suddenness and natural ability to get off the line vs press coverage quickly, easily... He is a long-strider, hence the slightly slower 70, but he is strong-strider like @CantGuardMike; ripped shoulders/upperbody strength, and legs are strong too - just gotta improve the quick-twitch fibers... Tre'Quan was just needing even more conditioning (speed) and route discipline (to earn Brees' Trust); if the unthinkable happens and we can't afford Thomas, he has the physical abilities to be an "X" receiver... Opposing secondary CBs are going should have to earn their paychecks with a healthy, Coach-Curtis-J-Schooled Tre'Quan Smith this year... |

Re: In 19th season, Saints QB Drew Brees eager for new things, even running WR routes
There were a couple of injury rumors for Brees circulating last year from the Dallas game. I'm hoping they were true and he's recovered, because there definitely was something different about the way he threw the ball at the end of the year.
