The New Orleans Saints may have started the year 0-2, but with Drew Brees at quarterback, Carolina’s secondary will still likely have its hands full.
“With Drew, you have to be very sound defensively or he’s going to pick you apart,” Panthers safety Kurt Coleman said this week.
Brees has thrown for 647 yards and three touchdowns in two games this season, with no interceptions. As familiar as the Panthers’ defense is to this point with Brees, they’ll have to face two receivers who will pose a challenge.
With receiver Willie Snead out as he serves a three-game suspension, Brees relied heavily on second-year receiver Michael Thomas last week.
