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.

“Energy Transference”? lol, yeah right. That works on the practice field, aka when you’re in a red jersey. Problem with that philosophy is that in real time, aka middle of the game, you’re rarely allowed a perfect pocket for an extended period of time. Bottom line, opposing players aren’t going to respect you wearing a “red jersey” while in the middle of a game.

It’s very simple, DB#9 has been hesitant and indecisive..., he’s double pumped away from an open “shot” play into a checkdown more times than Oprah has said “look under your chair”. And it’s not his OL, they’ve kept him clean throughout this season more so than almost anybody else. 9 sacks in 8 games is pretty darn stingy.

Tom House also works with Tom Brady, and several other QB's and pitchers they all get their power through their legs and torso FAR more so than their arms. They all use it in every game, so, yes, it DOES work in games. Not only in a red jersey. It doesn't take any longer to throw with that technique than any other. All it takes is a firm stance. That's why they both are constantly repositioning their bodies while in the pocket. Yet, both Brady and Brees have among the quickest releases in the NFL today. They both spend all year working on their techniques and it doesn't take to ton of time in the pocket.

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.

I don’t care if he’s working with Jesus Christ, son of the Almighty. Football is a sport built deliberately around moving. Football isn’t croquet, where you line up everything perfectly, make your shot, then walk to the next one. DB#9, along with any other QB who can no longer make non pocket-perfect throws bc of age is robbing Peter to pay Paul, if we’re staying in a religious vernacular. Giving up mobility completely, so “form” can attempt to offset a weakening, possibly already shot, arm is seen by every defense in the league as a weakness, and it limits the Saints offensively bc of it. AK#41 amazes me more every day in spite of DB#9. Sadly, DB#9 has aged into a check down only passer, and it limits our offense..., massively. Every defense in the NFL knows that we can’t go deep, or even pretend to, ever. Every. Single. Defense.

It comes down to this ...

Do you agree or do you not agree that Brees gives us our best chance at winning as a starter over anyone else on our roster or otherwise available today? If not then who would guarantee us of winning more games now?

Great questions, and yes I do think DB#9 is our best option in the immediate future. I would be hard pressed to find a reason to bench him, other than injury. Which leads me to a question for you. Why do the Saints sit DB#9 at critical moments in the game, and put the Taysom show in the game? If the answer to the previous question is that DB#9 is the Saints best option, so be it, let him run the offense..., the ENTIRE offense, all the time. Why has he been sat, when healthy?

I’ve never known a “sane” HC to state: “I have the GOAT QB, but nah, I’ma sit him when we need him the most”. That’s the very def’n of insanity..., or stupidity.

I rarely complain about anything other than bad calls while watching a Saints game. The one time that I do is when Payton inserts Taysom and especially when Brees is on a roll. He's certainly not putting Taysom in there for his arm. He has still only attempted 16 passes in his regular season career and only three this season. Taysom never enters the game to run a base play. It invariably involves some sort of gimmick. He comes in more as a wildcat than a QB. He does give us a better chance on a running play, but give me Brees with a yard or less any day.

But back to Brees. Can you explain why some people complain so much about Brees and his inadequacies if he's our best and only option to winning games at QB? Is it only because he isn't everything he used to be? That just brings me back to my age old argument of what good does it do to complain over something that is out of your control, or even out of the control of the team? Do you think it makes the complainer feel better in some sort of way? It seems to me that it would have the opposite effect.

Puzzling.
