Breakdown: Sight Adjust Colston TD

the story
What is a “sight adjust” read? Think of the one-step slant or “smoke” route (WR turns to the QB at the snap). Regardless of the play called in the huddle, the QB will give the WR a signal (grab the facemask, tap the hip, etc.) when he sees a large “cushion” (distance between CB and WR) outside of the numbers.
Oops, too late
Just imagining the fear Breesus can strike into a defender when he surveys the field and starts audibling. Gotta be some "Oh shite, he sees me." moments.
If I started listing his strengths, reading defenses at the line and how quickly he can go through progressions (because of how clearly he understands the defense) might be the top of the list.

I have to say i throughly enjoy these breakdown threads.
And this:
Defenses have to hate gameplanning for us. And with the emergence of ivory and ingram as of late, im sure they just sit around saying well, what the frick are we gonna do against them now?

There's nothing defenders can do other than disguise their defenses and hope they can get to Brees with a 4-man rush

He's pretty good, no Peyton Manning though

There is nothing in sports that compares to watching a great quarterback pick apart a defense. He and Peyton Manning have to be the funnest to watch at the line. You'll see them calling audibles down to the last second, still able to get the play off. The most obvious times you'll see him use these "sight adjust" reads is close to the end-zone, most often with Graham and Colston because of the match up problems. Most of the time they are looking to isolate either regardless.
Just off hand, plays most might remember:
Graham vs Falcons (Monday Night Football in Atlanta) on the game winning drive in 2010, quick slant after Brees made the look over to see Graham was isolated, easy. This was similar to the touchdown throw to Shockey in the Superbowl.
We also saw this with Graham vs the Giants last season
At Home vs Tampa last season - He made a read to Lance Moore where he was isolated in single coverage. Unlike a slant though, It was a fade route from about 5 yards out, beautiful throw. Just gives a look at him.
Collinsworth called out the play for Graham vs the Lions in the playoffs. "Graham all alone". Of course Drew make a quick signal, throws it to a wide open Jimmy.
Video of all but a few of the touchdowns from last season
Lance Moore play: 5:27 mark
Jimmy Graham vs Giants 6:53 mark
Graham vs Lions (Playoffs) 18:51
Drew is a fricking assassin

I'll cry my eyes out the day he retires from the Saints.
He is the kind of player who can walk out there and throw an interception on his first play of the game,..and you're not even worried because you know and have seen his talents, and HE is a lot more aggravated about that than you are.
Just have a trust in that man, I have never met him or played for him..But, Id go to war for him.
That's my quarterback, man.

One of my favorite parts of watching a Saints game on TV is listening to Brees audible. Sometimes you'll hear something like "Get ready, X" X being a player. Last time I heard this was, "Get ready, Lance" and they connected for a 3rd and long iirc. Just blows my mind. Dude knows exactly what the defense is going to do before he even snaps the ball most of the time.
