I don't think the Saints need to trade him. The problem with the Saints deals more with the expectation of Brees. Brees is not the same QB he was 6 years ago. There are things he can no longer do. The play calling has become too predictable, not so much on 1st down, but 2nd down. If they run on 1st down, they will pass on 2nd down, and vice versa. They will pass on 3rd down. It doesn't matter if it's 3rd and 1 or 3rd and 9. The Saints believe Brees is still the best chance for a win. The real problem, is Payton and Brees are addicted to the passing game. No matter what they say, or what they do, the Saints will always rely on the pass. They also need to realize that Robinson is a better back than Ingram. They made too many moves this off season because they said they wanted to get back to running the ball. Rob Ryan's defense is not working. The players can not operate under that defense. He needs to run a 4-3, with 2 DB's, a Safety and a free safety,instead of some hybrid 3-4.

Blitz the heck out of Winston. Go with double tight ends and run on 1st and 2nd down. Make them stack the box so Drew can get some isolated coverage on Cook or Colston with the play action. Saints have become predictable with their second down plays. Whatever the Saints do on first down, they will do the opposite on second down and they will almost pass the ball on 3rd down every time. If in the game, the defense start getting abused and cannot stop the Bucs, take some chances on 4th down. Last season, Cleveland did that with the Saints and won. They knew they could exploit a weak defense and not wanting to give us the ball worked. The went for it on fourth down 3 or 4 times in one drive and got it every time. Heck, one time they went for it on their own 28 yrd line. Sometimes you have accept the fact that your defense sucks. If you gamble and get it wrong, they get the ball and score, at least you'll get the ball back quicker as apposed to punting and letting the other team have a long time consuming drive, eating up the clock, and killing the offense ability to score. It sounds crazy but hey, last week the Saints punted with short time left and the Cards scored so fast, it put us back 2 touch downs.

Auburn will stack the box to slow down LF, and force Harris to beat them, which he can not do. Harris will crack like he did last year. Defense will keep it close in the first half, but get worn down with all of the 3 and outs in the 3rd quarter, and loose by 10 pts.

If during the draft, drafts another receiver, or running back, it will be time to send him packing. I think on offense, I think he has too many weapons, no one has time to get in the flow of the game. Nobody can get into a rythym. He's too offense minded, and he is too predictable, and Drew gotta get out of his mind that he needs to go for the throat when a first down will do. Graham has to more aggressive off the line. He's too soft. The Defense is always out of position. They are too focused on learning different schemes when they can't even get the basic fundamentals down piss poor tackling and basic coverage.

You not only hit the nail on the head, you drove it all the way to China with a Sledge Hammer.

Drew will miss him, but who knows, not having such a big target, he might get some of his accuracy back. Maybe other players will step up and play better, now that they're getting more reps. If the O-Line can hold up, the D-Line can stop the run better we could win our first away game this season.

To make cap room to pus Jimmy Graham all that money.

Stop getting your thong in bundle getting lost in the content, and focus more on the context. At some point Rip Van Winkle woke up. When are you gonna open your eyes? The program is on a serious decline. Once you start spiraling you typically keep spiraling until you hit rock bottom. When more teams start looking good, it makes you look less attractive to recruits. It's hard to rebuild a team when the top recruits in your own state don't want to play for you. You can get mad and curse all you want. Let's see if that improves the team. This season will tell us what LSU's leadership is all about.

Over the past few years, he has lost a few number 1's out of the state to nick saban. Defense and power running has always been the SEC stamp. He has a power back that is said to be the real deal. Whether he is or not cannot not be determine with 7 carries. That is coaching. He cannot make adjustments on the fly. He has to go in at half time and make adjustments. That's coaching or a lack thereof. With a good team if you can't make situational adjustment dynamically, you are going to loose. LSU is starting every season getting ranked lower and lower. Auburn, Florida, Alabama, Texas A&M for sure is going to run all over them. That could be easily 4 losses. LSU being .500 and going to one of those garbage bowls? How are gonna feel about that?
