He's supposed to be this unstoppable force and transcendent type player, yet there was little to no pressure put on Brees yesterday.... it killed us.
Obviously it wasn't only him, but he's getting the big bucks and I expect more for the money we pay him....not 45 points being hung on us that's for sure
In his defense I thought the scheme sucked yesterday.... Wade needed to bring some blitzes early and often but he never did.
He IS one of the best DTs in the history of the game.
And you think those kinds of players are NEVER stopped?
He clearly got his share of pressures in and in fact Brees had more than his share of errant throws because of it.
The Saints OL is a top one and it was a hard fought contest.
To me your post is like saying in 1999 that Bruce is a great receiver so why isnt; he getting 200 yards a game, therefore he's no good.
In fact it;s exactly like that.
If you actually watch his play against the Saints he was doing a lot under bad circumstances, especially in the 2nd half. He's one of the reasons the Rams even had a chance down the stretch.
