Brees: Saints will thrive in the wake of the bounty system

CARLSBAD, California (AP) - Drew Brees is sticking for the Saints and said that they will continue to prosper despite the suspension of the season long coach Sean Payton for his role in the system of premiums for New Orleans.

Speaking at a press conference to promote his charity golf tournament, said 2010 Super Bowl MVP that there is a difference between compensation performance and compensation for injuries.

Brees also refused to say if it shows shoulder season drives that begin Monday. It would be well over the extension in the long term with the tag of franchise, it is beaten.

Brees asked that if he felt that he was the target of a program of premium career had been.

"I know that it, that when a man has to take a shot on the quarterback, it will take," Brees said. "I do not say that it seeks to put an end to your career, it tries to give you a concussion or that you, but between the knees and neck, they try to get out you of all time." I know that for a fact, every defensive player trying to you hit. This is just football. We play a violent game. »

Then he added: "I am not in any way tolerate any form of a structure of bounty, and I will clarify that there is a difference between the performance pay and compensation for damages is, and I would say that what we are accused as compensation for injuries is not the case.".

Brees was asked his reaction to hear a defensive coordinator intended to record Gregg Williams capture classes cooperation Saints players to "a lik" tell on receiver 49ers Kyle Williams to see if he had persistent from the effects of a concussion.

"I think it's difficult for everyone to hear," said Brees, who tried to move the conversation to his golf tournament.

Brees said that the saints were disappointed that Commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell Monday dismissed an appeal of the suspension of the season long Payton for his role in the program.

"You don't talk about your coach for an entire season, which is a great success," said Brees, who refused to say who he would like to see hired as interim coach.

While he was accustomed to Payton bubbles in parts, he suddenly had to get used to the appeal of their offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr...

"It was almost as if our coach had taken for a period of four to six weeks," Brees said.

"It seems our Organization, when we are struck with something, any adversity that we have guys who are, step up and fill the empty and more responsibilities and really thrive," he said. "We have it, and last year that up to us this year, we will continue to prosper.".

Of the contract and whether it shows until Monday, Brees said: "we continue to work on an agreement in the long term and we are very hopeful that we can reach more sooner rather than later."

Brees spoke to La Costa Resort Spa & Drew Brees Celebrity Championship while promoting his, which will be played in May.

The Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo Quaterback won the tournament last year.

Brees said he would like to fight Romo, but "I think that he was playing golf more than me." In recent years, Romo tried to qualify for the US Open.
