Yes it was a good move. But look at the play-call. Rams send 6,with 5 in coverage. Peters on Saints best WR. 4 cover players to play man-on-man and are apparently told to defend the short yardage pass, you see everyone bot the corner on the bottom engage the recievers near the line and play it close to the line, defending the short pass. Brees has time and as a result can pick either the TE (?) or Thomas. The single-high safety is stuck covering Thomas so its an easy decision to go to the TE(?).
I don't know what the Rams were thinking on that playcall. Basically a gamble they would pressure Brees into a short 5-10yard pass. As soon as Brees has time, doesn't matter what Peters does. Play is over, TD.
