Saints rookie Bryan Bresee fouled for another costly special teams mistake

The New Orleans Saints have seen early growth and potential out of their first round selection Bryan Bresee, but he repeated a crucial mistake early against the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie defensive lineman was flagged for an illegal formation for being lined up over the center on special teams.

The flag was thrown on 4th-and-1 which set up a 10-yard touchdown pass for Gardner Minshew to Michael Pittman Jr. The score put the Colts up 7-0 early. It is the second time Bresee has been called for it this season, the first time happened in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans.

Bresee has seven tackles so far in his rookie season, logging 1.5 sacks along the way. He’s had a nice start to his career with low stress, but needs to tighten up on his alignment in special teams. The coaching staff must work with him on this to wipe out these avoidable errors.
