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.
