Payton has no fear to pass, pass, and pass - smarter, better defensive teams have figured this out and scheme accordingly...

At this stage of Brees' career, and given the investment and talent on the offensive line and running back, as well as WR; it'd make more sense to run a play-action pass offense...

I'd also include roll-outs for Brees' happy feet and justified distrust in the center of his oft-injured line; he's just got to get that ball downfield to Sanders, Trautman et al - hitting the receiver(s) in stride...

Objectively I have noticed some decay in both judgement and accuracy when he is happy feet'ing. I also don't think he 'feels' the presence of defenders in the backfield when he is mobile like he used to. Ball security is a big negative for us regardless of which facet is in possession.

In the pocket and planted seems to be his sweet spot. When he gets mobile his eyes get real bright like that kid in the yearbook that used to bite everyone. (crazy eyes)

Normally I'd agree with that, but this past two seasons, he's not looked at all comfortable behind Peat and other interior offensive linemen to be named...

Do we draft another O lineman in 2021?

I wasn't expecting Ruiz in last year's draft that's for sure. Especially in the 1st round.

So, it's not just me that Peat puts the fear in. Whew!
