Two big stats from that game.... 0 sacks and he played the entire game with the lead. Give Brees time and he'll find guys. If he's playing from ahead and the D has to respect the play action fakes I don't think there are a lot of guys better in the league. Make him pull the ball down or give him a deficit to overcome and you're in trouble.
Several points:1) It was one game.2) Brees barely found his WRs (this is NOT like 2006 where Colston, Henderson and even Copper were ripping teams). Yes he got locked onto Patten late - but most of his passes (13 of his 25) went to RBs or TEs. While he played much better, he still doesn't seem comfortable enough with his O-line to allow his WRs to get open on deeper routes. When Colston and co. start catching 50+ yarders, THEN we can say back to 2006 form. Don't get me wrong, this is certainly a step in the right direction, but a little soon to say "He's BAAACCCK!"
Nah, the Saints shut it down on offense the entire 4th quarter. They pretty much moved the ball at will.I still have doubts about the offensive line though. I don't think Brees is back to 2006 form.
The OLine has been much more of a problem.Devery Henderson is useless without an Oline that can give Brees enough time for Devery to get into his deep routes. That didn't happen at all during the first 3 games. Since then, the Saints are running shorter routes.Meachem will not see the starting lineup this year.az_prof said:
Well, Atlanta's no good either so he'll do OK. Did you see what the Giants did to Atlanta? I wouldn't be benching my fantasy players vs. them on that performance.
