Please keep that way from Drew. That's the wrong youth-sized football.

If you're gonna do it, just go ahead and commit to the line.

All in fun guys. All in fun.

in the recent Saints Talk podcast, Underhill was talking to Drew & Brady's QB guru about how each mi play to 45
one of the things he talked about was how the loss of arm strength is not what is really happening - -it's a loss of arm speed
he says that in the offseason Drew never picks up a regulation football, he always uses a youth ball so that he can keep his arm speed up

that's probably the same ball

So what you believe is, one could not do any strengthening of the triceps and wrist muscles, and still be able to maintain arm speed? I guess you have never coached sports, specifically...baseball and or football.

Strength of certain muscles have a direct affect on velocity, and ability to throw a ball a given distance with adequate velocity. I can throw a football 10 yards, just like Drew. But my lack of arm strength, does not allow me to throw the ball with the velocity of Drew.

And here I thought he'd be drinking wine and smoking cigars during his rehab!?

Keep quiet about the nerf ball before the NFL bans the use of it by players.

I do therapy for a living. The fact that he’s throwing a nerf or smaller ball might be planned. The weight of a regulation or bigger ball isn’t that big of a deal, in fact the weight shouldn’t be an issue at all. It’s the gripping he’s working on, so a smaller ball should be harder to grip and hold. So that might be part of his therapy. The fact he’s using a smaller ball shows his gripping is farther along then what it would be with a regulation ball.

Drew Brees is a gamer of the highest order!

Man just please come back after the Bears game, I don't want Khalil Mack or Akiem Hicks even breathing on Drew..
