I think Teddy will be given some time as the starter... the next 2 games are his (we will lose both), then pressure will mount for Hill to start.

Either way, if we can be a run first team we could go 4-4. In our division 4-4 might not be a bad start lol

More like 8 weeks. The minimum on that injury with surgery is 6-8 weeks.
They'll probably put Drew on IR and reactivate him after the Bye week. Season is toast.

Sorry about the news on Brees. Nobody likes to see NFL players hurt. Especially first ballot HOF’s. Hopefully he will be back for our game. Won’t be the same classic battle without Brees on the field. Speedy recovery Mr. Brees.

We need to start adjusting the offense to the strengths and weaknesses of Teddy B right now.

How do you teach Teddy pocket presence?

You move the pocket and give him simpler reads like Lamar Jackson. Make the league have to adjust to something from the Saints they aren’t used to. RPO’s
and ****.
