He's every bit of 6'0 tall.

That solves it I guess.

Did you read in "Star" magazine where Beasley has been dunking a BB since the 8th grade? Even can windmill the dunk. Asked if he would dunk over the goal crossbar when he scored a TD, he replied "he would probably be to tired to try".

Close the windows.

Get in his face and knock him down early and often.\

Because if they treat Brees like they did Rapesmysister by giving him enough time to watch Gone With The Wind, Brees will cut up the street people we have in the defensive backfield.

Knock him down. Get him looking over his shoulder like Romo was earlier in the season.

That is what it will take.

And that would be why the Saints pay a premium for their interior OL,,, ya know, Romo isnt that tall either, something like 6-1, 6-2... Just sayin

You aren't going to have success blitzing the guy.

The pressure will need to be applied by 3 or 4 pass rushers... Not that Ryan has done a lot of blitzing since the injury bug hit.

5"10?? This isnt basketball where they give the players an extra two inches..or is that just a myth?

Romo is just under 6'3" which is pretty good. But people need to stop putting such an emphasis on height, as long as you have good mechanics you can overcome underwhelming stature as QBs like Brees & my boy Russell Wilson continue to prove.

Sean Payton feels differently... maybe not entirely as a function of the QB height but as the ultimate importance of a clean pocket for vision and tipped passes.

Only Brees can stop Brees.

Your only hope is that he is an interception mood.

If not, it's over.
