I love watching Brees move up in the pocket and set his feet before he throws. Instead of drifting back into pressure, he steps forward and buys a couple of precious seconds. He also doesn't throw off his back foot, but sets his feet, which is why I think he's so accurate on his long passes. This just goes to show that the ability to feel pressure and move around in the pocket is much more important than the ability to scramble. And it also goes to show that mechanics are more important than sheer arm strength. Drew throws with his entire body instead of just winging it. I'm really looking forward to next Sunday's game with Brees at the helm.
