The "vintage" Drew Brees, working in unison with his O-line, has him succeeding by doing just a couple of things with drop dead timing. Drew wil either "play-action", drop back and throw, roll out to the right or left or, most often, he'll "climb" inside a gaping maw of a "pocket" created ( hopefully ) by the line.
In the case of Cincy's success, when it came against Drew and The Line, they were able to collapse that pocket in the middle. Brees has a Montana-esque ability to "feel" pressure, avoiding it more often than not, when he is able to take steps inside, situating himself for a deadly accurate pass. This buys time and allows for his throw to be pin-point.
All SAINTS opponents, to be successful, need do is disrupt that middle to get to Brees or get him to "scramble", which he is not nearly as adroit to do than a planned roll-out.
This disrupts the timing of the whole Offense and more often than not will wind up badly for Our SAINTS! I hope Coach Payton sees this success the bengals had and has some good coaching advice for those linemen as this seems to me to be one of the few weaknesses they have.
Protect that middle and The SAINTS, with Drew Brees WILL tear you apart!
Welcoming a healthy squad at just the right time! Looking for a victorios Back-To-Back Superbowl run!
