The OL was ranked #2 in both 2019 and 2020. #2 Overall and it showed when Brees was out with injuries both of those years.
I'm not directing this at you @BoxerJoe but this seems to be a theme where fans denigrate our OL and WR's to bolster Brees. Brees doesn't need that. His numbers speak for themselves. Brees was incredibly accurate but I only recall him catching 1-2 of his own passes. It just makes me wonder because a previous poster claimed our OL was simply not good. I think #2 overall is pretty damn good and it's a testament to our front office and coaches for making it consistently one of the top units. Brees doesn't run block.
