But does this offense require deep passes to work anyway? If we agree that this isn´t news, you can´t throw away the evidence that suggests that the team works fine without it. The narrative seems to suggest that without the deep ball Brees is done. Which is completely false.
The TEAM hasn't worked fine with out it for years, taking shots down field and on seam routes is how Payton has attacked defenses, dinking and dunking the ball down the field and then blaming the defense for not being able to hold a team that can pass the ball down field is just silly. this offense is going to be easy to defend when there is no THREAT of the deep ball, its like running and offense with no run game.
