At least it looks that way for the moment.

Let's hope future iterations of our defense will consist of DB's from LSU and SEC and NOT from Ohio State.

Wasted a couple draft picks on some BS... could have had 2nd string DB's from LSU, Bama, or Florida that could at least try to turn around when the ball is throw their way.

You mean the same DB's torched by Miss St?

If you like watching chickens run around with their heads cut off then you missed something. If not, then all you missed was the refs exercising their influence. We committed a lot of penalties, but the refs called us for "phantom" calls all day long. It was frustrating to watch.

The worst thing was watching Drew sitting alone on the bench with no support group.

Welcome to the new normal in the COVID world, Rugs. When Brees goes to the bench he sits beside the phone to the coaches box and is usually going over the play shots on the iPad. I didn't notice anything different than usual. I do know that players are supposed to remain distanced when not in the game due to COVID protocols. Don't forget that the Saints were just hit with a $250K fine for not following sideline protocols last week. The QB's aren't supposed to huddle around a single iPad as in the past. They each have their own.

Besides, I've never known Brees to be someone that needed a "support group". LOL!

Look familiar? Different games. Different years. Where's the "support group"? You are trying to read something in to something that isn't even there, Rugs.

Good point Guido. Dang it. A better choice of words might have been that Drew is not up and down the side line trying to motivate his team as is the norm. Nor was he interacting with other players discussing how to elevate their game. You know, the things that separate Drew from the average to good QB!

As you pointed out that could be the new Covid protocol but my gut says that isn't it. Drew looks broken. Badly broken. Not old. Broken! We see it all the time when players lose confidence. He obviously isn't confident. But I cant see how he wouldn't still believe in himself.

I have little doubt he believes in himself. And I have little doubt you'll see that. I don't see where you are seeing broken. I see that he's missing his best weapon on offense, including Kamara. He's seeing calls constantly going against his team. He's seeing drops at vital times.

But, broken? LOL!

And how do you do know that Brees isn't up and down the sideline motivating his teammates? You only see what the broadcast chooses to show.

And ... it has only been three games under weird circumstances. Chill. We're going 17-2 and winning it all. R-E-L-A-X!

From what's going on in the Big D I'm sure Jerry will gift wrap Nolan and send him back to us.

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense is on pace to be among the worst in the modern history of the National Football League. On Sunday alone against the Cleveland Browns, this Mike Nolan-led unit gave up 49 points, 33 first downs and 508 total yards of offense.

Are those the things that separate a good from an average Quarterback? Drew visits with certain team mates but I have never seen him go full Pete Carrol on the side lines, when I see him he is generally looking at the pad.

I can't say that I have ever seen Brady or Manning running up and down the sidelines either. Great Quarterbacks are made in the womb, fieldhouse, and on the field.
