Jan 10, 2021 Saints News Network s intern Andrew Gullotta analyzes the added dimension of Drew Brees after returning from his eleven rib-fractures - the Deep Ball in 2020.
Before quarterback Drew Brees’ four-game absence due to a rib/lung injury, the Saints offense faced criticism for the lack of deep passes within the offense. Even though New Orleans scored the fourth-most points in the NFL through week ten, Brees only attempted 13 passes over 20 yards, completing 6 of them. He also only accumulated 5.2 air yards per completion and threw passes that were an average 2.3 yards behind the first down sticks, which further conveys that the seven-time passing yards leader wasn’t uncorking passes through the season s first nine games.

Saints News Network s intern, Andrew Gullotta analyzes how the New Orleans Saints Secondary made a complete 180-degree turn in 2020.
Let us take a walk down memory lane. It’s Week eight in the 2020 NFL season. The Saints have just edged out a 27-24 win against their division rivals, the Carolina Panthers. Even though Drew Brees had a vintage performance, scoring three total touchdowns (two passing and one rushing), New Orleans’ defense struggled mightily. An old friend of the Who Dat Nation, Teddy Bridgewater, had a superb game. He completed over 80% of his passes, which was 13% over his expected percentage. He threw for over 250 yards as well as two touchdowns.
