Drew Brees and the ‘Four Verticals’ (1 Viewer)

[Saint Jeremy]

This play is of course just one in the Saints’ rather robust arsenal, but it is representative: he’ll find your weakness depending on what you’re doing. Brees will kill you, but he lets you decide how fast he tightens the garrote.

The man knows his football. He reads the D and finds the man who's open, and throws the most accurate pass in football today.

What a great article. I love that our team dictates to the other team on both sides of the ball. Don't worry about what they are doing, make them adjust to us. And when they do, use that adjustment to burn them. We are playing some beautiful football right now.

I use "4 Verticals" 3 or 4 times a drive on Madden. Don't Blitz the Breesus...even when T2 is controlling him in Madden.

Chris Brown is always a must-read, and this is no exception.
