This is one of the main things that the top seven or so quarterbacks in NFL do that seperates them from everyone else.

JC is still a little nervous about attacking single coverage if he feels the man is covered. In the NFL a receiver in single coverage usually has the distinct advantage and players like Brees attack single coverage all day long.

If you are a CB and you blanket your receiver in single coverage Brees is looking at you and thinking "I got you."

I wonder about that. Is JC reluctant to throw unless his receiver has a couple of steps or is he being coached that way? A completion or pass interference call is as likely, if not more likely, than an interception. An incompletion isn't the end of the world either. In the second half in particular it seemed like Campbell was looking deep on a lot of the pass plays, but then went to something underneath.

Campbell will throw to Cooley in coverage, but frankly, no one else has earned the right to be given a shot in tight coverage. That's what were hoping that Malcolm Kelly will begin to earn starting with an impressive performance today, but let's face it: if you were the Skins QB, you wouldn't expect a Redskins wide receiver to win a single coverage battle either.

I guess that's what I like about Brees. He makes his receivers better. Anyone they put in the game makes plays. Those same players wouldn't do jack on most other teams.

Well, Brees is phenomenal. There isn't a quarterback in the game that's better right now. Not Manning. Not Brady.
