No, Brees is old and when you get old it's gets harder to have your A game every single day; you're still capable, just not every single game... Now, did Sanders have a bad game, absolutely; one, he's dependent on Brees; two, penalties were ticky-tack but a veteran knows to avoid situations that give officials a flag opportunity... Brees short passing game stalled out when Payton abandoned the run with Latavius Murray so play-action became a formality, not an effective tool and Brees wasn't looking downfield... |

It’s working why change it up? He needs to stop smelling his own farts and take what the defense gives you |

Re: Defense collapsed, Payton and Drew
I can’t understand why Payton won’t use Murray more. He should have been pounding them with Murray early on when we had a solid lead.

Re: Defense collapsed, Payton and Drew
Honestly, running the ball can’t save you when you can’t stretch the field. If you can’t stretch the field then you can stack the box, send pressure, and sit on the underneath ****. Cover 1 blitzes will be commonplace.

Re: Defense collapsed, Payton and Drew
You either have to be able to stretch the field or have a legit running threat...
There's a lot of money and draft picks invested in this offensive line and Payton isn't maximizing the investment... Pound the F**k out of 'em and they won't want to rush the passer in the fourth quarter - this works at bantam, high school, college and pro level... Murray hadn't been stopped and that's why the play-action short passing game was working early; look at the film, they were on their heels until Payton abandoned the onslaught... Joe Montana made a career of short passes to great receivers and running backs, so you can win with the short-passing game, but the run game still has to be a threat, and you have to have athletic receivers... Thomas is out, and Cook and Tre'quan looked like old men with their short-stepping running across the field - they scared... Sanders has great secondary moves, but they're downfield and he has to be hit in stride to really cause pain to those secondaries... Now what made Brees incredible in the Saints offense was they could run the ball, throw daggers at all three levels of the field and Brees' game preparation coupled with his pre-snap reads... Now Brees looks scared, so he's not thinking clearly and he's not effective throwing downfield, that is yards per target and hitting receivers in-stride to maximize YAC and TD opportunities... The worst part of all this - we can all see it and Payton won't face it... |

Re: Defense collapsed, Payton and Drew
Does anyone believe that Sean/Brees are simply uncomfortable with allowing guys NOT named AK or Thomas to be more involved on offense? Alvin was our leading receiver last night.
Ty, Sanders, Taysom, Callaway & Cook didn't seem to be a priority in the playbook. Really surprised THill wasn't more involved against a young, inexperienced Raider secondary. Honest question. |
