Payton quote

stinch doesn't give up sacks per se but brees has gotten so adept at stepping in once stinch's guy blows past him that you almost think its a designed play. its drew's greatness here that makes up for the issue. but imagine if we gave drew a clean pocket againts good teams....he would tom bradify them.

every time drew slides up, since he's a shorter qb, it diminishes the passing lane and creates more blind spots for the qb...these are his primary problems in all those ints....

so while i also agree that brown is no great player, bonehead really, on the other side, stinch's weakness should not be overlooked. its just that our qb covers his butt better than he can cover brown's. expected since he's a right handed qb.

now if you want to make the argument, dont' spend money or resources on a RT whne defense is the issue i'm there with you.

payton going out of his way to applaud stinch is a sign he's gonna sign him longterm. not a good move when we have a competent replacement in strief cheaper.
