It was the cover 2/zone,why cant anyone believe me? Some one please pull up stats of all the cover 2 teams that drew brees faced and u will see what im saying
it was clearly the cover 2 being played to its best. The players were disciplined and were told not to give up the big play...our offense lives around the big plan and Drew's ability to deliver. However the Tampa 2 is built specifically to stop the deep pass...if your players are disciplined and play their assignments.. you make the window for throwing passes shrink. That on top of the Wind is what rendered Drew nearly useless. However, he was able to avoid turning the ball over..except for the fumble and we were able to provide our own turnovers to keep us positive in that statistic.
They took breesus out of the game and forced us to beat them another way......no different from stacking the box to stop say an Adrian Peterson and forcing the vikings to beat you threw the air. They wanted us to beat them on the ground and we did.......THE ANSWER IS THAT SIMPLE
