"After a great 2006 season, Brees struggled some in 2007 behind a shaky offensive line..."
After I read this, I figured the person didn't know what he was talking about and I stopped reading. He doesn't even know that the Saints allowed the fewest sacks by far last season, and considering that Brees set a new record for pass attempts speaks volumes about this guy's lack of knowledge. Furthermore, that he has Romo, Roethlisberger, and Hasselback ahead of Brees only adds to the suspicion he is a clueless writer. Typical of the ESPN Scouts, though.
No, the writer was right. They let up very few sacks, but they still allowed Brees to be pressured entirely too much, and Brees didn't get sacked because he was able to get rid of the ball. The offensive line WAS shaky last year, and severely underperformed compared to 2006.
