Drew Brees: The plan is to play on Sunday

AsylumGuido · 10-24-2019, 09:01 AM

Once again, I am not saying that Brees will absolutely play. What I AM saying is that if he deemed ready then he absolutely should, and will, play.

I just heard Brees say that it won’t be fully healed for three months. That’s the first time I have heard that. That said, if the doctors feel it is safe to play with the internal brace and external splint then why not play? It will be the same scenario two, three, or four weeks from now.

As a speculating fan, I would rather Brees take the extra two weeks to continue the rehabilitation and strengthening without the risk of a setback from this game.

I would rather come of out this game saying we will have Brees ready for Atlanta than to rush him back and they question if we rushed him back if he doesn’t have a good game. That’s my perspective as a fan.

Let him play. We need to evaluate him.

Geez.

We share the same birthday and it would seem our font is interpreted similarly.

I like this smokescreen a lot....keep 'em guessing! I'm going to the Dome Sunday expecting to see Teddy, but it's not like I'm a D coordinator for Arizona and my job is on the line if Drew starts and I'm not prepared for him....

Payroll just said "If you see how much we are paying him... he is going to play".

Just in time for the NFFCG & subsequent Super Bowl

Agreed but this 2019 team can win anywhere.

It's been a while since I've seen such a mentally tough group of guys assembled in NO.
