Sticky this! I was shocked at how well he did. I've said for awhile now Rice is vastly overrated at this point in his career, but I still thought Rice would eat Strief's lunch. The knock on Strief is he isn't very fast laterally, and with his fingers hurt, I thought he had no chance.
Apparently I know a heck of a lot less about football then I thought I did. Wow. Strief got beat cleanly only 1 time that I saw and Brees just stepped up and took off without getting sacked.
