Cook was smart to fade out on the other pick whether he meant to or not because Harrison Smith was sitting underneath and could have easily made that play. The proper decision is to not make that throw at all. We’re in field goal range. He wants to check down any other time. They gave Kamara the ball 20 times on the ground for the first time in his entire career and he delivered. I can’t be the only person holding their breath every time Brees passes the ball these days. He’s still smart. That’s great, but the days of him carrying this team are dead. |

Yes, Taysom and Winston would have been skewered for those throws, but IMO thought Drew made some throws that were more reminiscent of his skill, like the one to Sanders down the middle, not sure if it was just a seem route or crappy post, but it was thrown to where only our guy could make the play. And yes, I find myself having breathing issues often times when Brees drops back, but not to the point of requiring supplemental oxygen. My concern is and always been the commitment to the run, which we do very well when we do it. Kamara was on the field for 64% of the offensive plays. Process that for a minute. To me, I’m Good with that, as long as Murray is being utilized as he should be.

Re: Observations from a dominant Saints win vs Vikings
We just saw Brady make 5 of them today. I’m not a Pat fan, nor am I a Niner fan. But I lived there when Montana made those plays and I lived here when Brady did too. Drew has the chance to be the GOAT.
