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

Thirty3 · 11-02-2020, 05:47 PM

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.

I suppose you’re right on Kamara but the black tape on Brees definitely appears to be KT.
