The year: 2015
Defense: Cover 3
#Saints QB Drew Brees was still at the edge of his prime hitting B. Cooks in stride with his passes.
He was rewarded with a defense ranked 32nd in points allowed and 31st in yards allowed that season.

Another gem from 2015. Kids today really won't remember that Brees could sling it with the #Saints.
Love the ability to navigate the EDGE pressure while stepping up to read the safety off of play-action. Talking about split-second decisions.

Defense: Tampa 2
Before HD kids there was DH. Devery Henderson could run the 7-9 as good as anyone in the NFL. Drew Brees could throw it as good as anyone in the NFL.
One of the most memorable #Saints TDs of all time. Goes 80 total yards.

We've made our jokes since he left, but the #Saints with Jimmy Graham and Drew Brees were cold-blooded. Little out and up here and Brees hits him in stride while Jimmy carries a Falcon into the endzone.

1 of the greatest qualities as a QB every #Saints fan will remember about Drew was how he could take basically any WR and you thought that WR could be elite just because of Drew. Here is Nick Toon.
Touch/Ball Placement. Just enough sauce. Beautiful.

When #Saints had Drew in his prime he could thread a needle like few people ever have. Here Jimmy Graham is running into a natural bracket (S/NCB).
The NCB has the route undercut (INT?), but Brees throws a heater against the grain so only JG can grab

Year: 2016
If we're being honest, even in 16 the #Saints still had a QB in Brees that had the arm and the best mind in the game. Easy read here in this Yankee Concept variant. Once again it's Cooks in stride.
NOLA would go 7-9 (again). Really think he considered retirement.

Honestly, of all the #Saints seasons 2016 might annoy me the most. O had all the pieces.
Drew Brees: Dawg
MT: Dawg
Cooks: Dawg
Ingram: Dawg
Snead: Dawg in the slot
Defense: Ranked 31st in points allowed. Robertson, Moore, and Kruger were starters. 🤦♂️😩

If we're being honest, rookie MT season might be my favorite of his. Drew Brees could still sling it deep with pinpoint accuracy (prob last year he could consistently). MT went deep a lot. #Saints absolutely wasted Brees' prime with their D choices.

Defense: C1
From the 2 going deep is risky & the Raiders S is cheating to Cooks' side already.
Brees holds the safety and pulls him back center with his eyes before hitting the soft spot on the sideline perfectly.
2016 O could bang. They lost.
