Bree’s QBR 106.7 for 7th place in the NFL. This has been without his #1 receiver Since week 1. Haters hate but fact are facts. Put a defense in the picture for the 1 weeks we might be 7-0.

I just listened to an interview with Brees on Airing it Out an hour ago with Brett Favre and Bruce Murray. They mentioned his remarkable completion percentage and he began talking about the offensive design. He said there is something to pounding the ball on the ground and wearing down a defense, but added that their offense is designed to do the same thing via the pass. He said repeated 3, 5, and 7 yard passes with screens thrown in here and there are just as frustrating and effective as running the ball to a defense. He said that it's their take on the West Coast offense. Long methodical drives with those short passes has the same affect as does runs, and they do mix in the run to keep the defense honest. Favre said that Brees appears to be just as sharp as he has ever been and Brees said knows that he is on the latter part of his career and takes time to relish playing more than ever. He added that he still loves the game and just like the last few years as long as he is still enjoying the game, and is healthy, and playing the game at a high level there is no reason to stop.

He said he was looking forward to getting Thomas and Sanders back and touched on the difficulties of have a new set of WR's game after game. He said he spends the week visualizing the plays for each individual WR and the constant changes are not easy.

Part of Brees' interview with Favre and Murray today on XM's NFL Radio.

I've been saying that Drew could manage the games later in life. Well, it's later in life and I'm at peace that I've had Drew leading the Saints to a Super bowl championship as well as numerous NFC South division winners. That's all fine and dandy but it's criminal that Drew never had a complimentary defense outside of '09 to get back to the big game. He deserves better.

Re: Drew Brees Almost Never Throws Deep Anymore. Is That A Problem For The Saints?
 

To be honest, the '09 defense wasn't any better than what we have today. That team was fortunate to have turnovers at the right time all season long. Darren Sharper was magic.

Sharper was king,is he spiking the prisoners with knock out candy bars. What a douch sack.

Darren Sharper really was the difference on the back end in that D but I think the players really thrived off Greggs attitude that season too.
He wanted them angry and he instilled an attitude that they all bought into, that every snap is an opportunity to get the ball and it really showed.
From the very first preseason game I could tell there was a huge difference in 09 and it was literally the attitude they played with. If someone got a pick, it was like a race for the defensive players to see who get out and lead block first.

There's a soundbite on the Saints Americas game documentary where GW literally tells Vilma, "you call whatever you want and we'll play it" that's how much trust he had in his group.

Vilma was a huge part too, one of the best memories I have is him changing the D to a zone coverage which led to Porters int of Favre.
