Griese's line - 16/19 for 194 and a TD. Brad hasn't had a game like that in a year.
I really think Brad has lost so much arm strength that he can't make the throws anymore. It changes his game. HE knows he cant make the throws.
I was all for the change to Simms and I agree he played good before he got hurt. He took them to a score on their opening drive. His rollouts on play action really stretch a defense, and he has a cannon. He throws 25 yd outs on a rope.
I guess we'll have to see how the shoulder heals before a final decision is made but I definitely think Brad's days are numbered. I think the team had lost confidence in him. They just seem to try harder with Chris in there.
Griese did not move outside the pocket at all, but the line protected him well. When flushed out, Griese just falls down or throws it away. Simms tries to make things happen, and does.
That being said the Saints defenders are not world beaters. But I'm watching the Rams defense now and man they really do suck. I'm hoping we can beat them on Monday night and get on a roll.
Oh, and how about Clayton? They guy is a stud.
