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.

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.

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.

did anyone else notice Drew in the pocket being no where near as elusive? It looked to me a couple of times that he was sort of shuffling along after plays.( ankle ?) Those passes in the dirt could be some on purpose but it appears to me that he was unable to get clear enough to find a passing lane on some of them.

And yet he still completed 31 of 41 passes. Yeah. I'll take right at 75% completion rate.

Sacked once, no picks, 2td's and we won the freaking game. On the road 20+ mile an hour winds.

Some people on here could be walking down the street and given a $100 bill for no reason and immediately start wondering why it wasn't $200

Those dump off passes don't show up as rushing attempts, but is what
some of them are. throw deep, sacks go way up, picks go up and and
ypg drop.

Did anyone else notice tape on Drew's right arm sticking out of his sleeve couple inches?

It was kinesiology (or KT) tape. It is the same stuff that Kamara always wears all the way down his arm. I'll bet every player in the league has it applied somewhere or other. LOL.

The tape on Kamara's arms is regular old cover-roll to prevent turf burn. Kinesiology tape is applied differently and generally narrower with splits and contours.
