Re: Brees is done

It's unlikely that Brees is done. But Sunday proved that playing Brees Ball isn't going to win us games. By that I mean the pass heavy approach isn't how this team is built any more. A lot of this is on Sean, but I also think it's possible Drew is checking out of run plays because he himself is not acclimated to the changes that came about during the stretch of Teddy. Having Murray and Kamara only run 9 times combined is a recipe for disaster and worst of all, totally unnecessary.

I also fear Drew is too hung up on his personal stats to make sound decisions for the team. Obviously not all the time, but you can clearly see that he's trying to do too much at times. I wanted to puke when he was trying to force a garbage TD at the end of that game. I was legit physically ill. Not just because we were risking injury for nothing, but also the fact that we showed we can't score in that position. If we have to play an important game that comes down to our last possession, teams now have more tape on what we look like when we're desperate in the red zone.

The good news is that most of these problems can be fixed. Sean and Drew just need to get their heads screwed on straight and realize that the Teddy formula is the future of this team, even if Drew is under center.

I just couldn’t believe him looking deep when we needed 5- 7 yards not enough screens to back the pressure off. It had to be they didn’t want AK using his cuts to much just straight ahead running mostly to protect his bad legs.
