What does this offense look like with Jameis at QB?

So I think we should expect Brees to miss a few weeks here. Especially with the record of our opponents the next few weeks. Last year Teddy didn’t look good in the rams game that he came into during the first quarter when Brees went down. But after a week of game planning he looked great. So what do we expect after a week of game planning with Jameis?

For one I expect to see a ton of Taysom at QB. I do think he will throw some too. A lot of Taysom runs in the red zone as well. I think we will see Payton lean on the rushing attack some more also.

As far as the passing game goes, I think we will see Sean mix in some deeper throws. Regardless of how you feel about Winstons field vision and accuracy we know he can throw the deep ball. The threat of the deep ball may actually open up more of the short to intermediate passing game as well. It’s very easy to double Thomas when you don’t believe the ball will go over thirty yards in the air. So this could lead to Thomas not seeing a ton of brackets.

That being said, this is when we will see the beat of Payton. He did it last year and he will do it again this year. When he feels like he has a challenge he always does his best work.

One other thing that we can feel good about is the defense. They have stepped it up to the level they should be playing at. When Brees went down last year they cranked it up. I expect to see a high level performance from here out.


We will see what the MRI results in but I think the saints will be just fine as long as they get Brees back by the playoffs.
