Drew Brees Said He is Anxious to Play Sunday
New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees spoke with the media after practice on Wednesday, August 1, 2012.
Hear the game on 1130 The Tiger this Sunday, August 5 at 6:30pm with AZ Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints.
Are you ready to play Sunday?
“Yes, I am. I think preseason there is a purpose. When you go out there and you understand that you are not going to play a lot. Especially, the first preseason game but when you are out there you want to look sharp. There are just certain things that you want to happen. You want to be playing with great tempo. You want no to minimal mistakes, just playing fast. Is it all going to be perfect? No. But especially with the first group you want to get back in the flow and the rhythm.
How did it look out there for the offense?
“Today was a hot one. This is probably fourth or fifth padded practice in a row so guys starting to feel the effects of that. It takes the toll on you. Not only being outside, just in this humidity, kind of sucking it out of you. You strap the pads on again, start to hit a little bit and had our first live drill today for one period. I think that is kind of the natural progression as you get into camp. I guess we’re approaching the dog days so to speak. I think that there is a period of time where you are maybe not at your physical peak but you have to find a way mentally to push through. You’re still installing a lot of offense and defense so, especially the young guys, their minds are racing a little bit. Their bodies are maybe not as good as they want it to be so the combination of all of those things provides for a little bit of survival mode out here for at least a few days.”
