Rampage2K-
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 an unstoppable force and transcendent player and I saw him being double and triple teamed yet he still got several pressures and near sacks that affected Brees especially in the 2nd half. I go by actual play on the field by the specific player not some vague, team wide complaint.
I don't know, with 10 sacks on the season, I'd say the Rams are getting their money's worth and possibly a bargain.
Brees, for his part, is a HOF QB for a reason. There was pressure in the 2nd half especially but Brees delivered despite that.
I wasn't too fond of the scheme yesterday myself. But by pointing to that, at least you're acknowledging that it's a team game. All players and coaches have to perform to get the W.
I don't care how good you are, if they're rushing 3 - which I saw several times - it's going to be tough to get home. Either that's the DC's fault with the scheme or the other players need to cover better especially if their in dime.
