But Drew Brees wasn't thinking of offense when his preseason thoughts had to do with "satisfying" and how that word might apply to the time the Saints begin playing games that count. Brees was thinking of "team," the whole package. "It's the kind of effort teams can feed off of," Brees said. "It's those kinds of things that give a team swagger. What makes me optimistic about this team is the type of guys Sean Payton has brought in, guys who know what it takes, who know how to prepare, how to take care of their bodies. It can have a rub-off effect on the younger players." Source: Times Picayune News | | |
