Actually even with Drew the offense wasnt good...it wasnt good at all. Dropped passes, poor blocking by the o line, and virtually no running game.

The offense has been geared to Brees but now we will need to open it up and get more deep routes going to give TB or Hill some space. Brees had timing and killer accuracy, something that neither of our backups have. The line, WRs, Cook, and AK/LM are going to have to step up big time for us to have a shot at the playoffs.
