08:01 AM ET 09.27 | Many expected a decline with the Saints in 2012, but few predicted 0-3 out of the gate. Drew Brees' play was elevated when he hooked up with [Sean Payton], and it's gone down without him. "Sean Payton always was in Brees' ear," a front office man said. "He was always giving him guidance. They truly miss that." ... With other elements of the team struggling, Brees has taken a lot on his shoulders. One scout thought Brees has been trying to do too much and forcing passes. He said Brees misses not having a long ball threat since Robert Meachem left and Devery Henderson has been injured. That means defenders don't have to honor the deep threat and have a smaller field to concern themselves with.

He threw 22 ints. in 2010 with Payton around. It is not like he has not been down this road before.
