A great article on CantGuardMike
Saints Receiver Michael Thomas Is Here to Make History, Not to Be Famous
"I didn't have to be a prima donna to get where I'm at," Thomas says. "Everybody else is chasing somebody else. I'm not chasing anyone. I'm chasing what I'm focused on and my job. Everybody else can chase me. Right now, I'm focused on my job, my mission and being who I'm supposed to be."

And that's the kid who told his grandmother he'd play in the NFL one day, who'd show up with dirt all over his body from a ruthless pickup game, who insists he still wants to be "that star in their eyes."

He does not care what Antonio Brown or Odell Beckham Jr. or Julio Jones or any other wide receiver's doing. Too many others, he explains, get trapped in that vortex.

"All these dudes out here trying to be somebody they're not supposed to be; they're confused. They're confused. And it's easy for me to pass somebody who's confused because they're never going to get it. They're never going to figure it out."

I feel like this hasn't been brought up. Our offense is doing something early in the season that it does not particularly do well(Even in 2011). The offense find ways to win playing what the defense gives up on the road. Road games are usually 20 point affairs for us. Not this year...

Whether it is air it out or pounding the rock. We do it at an ridiculous Ppg of 43 and 33. This offense cannot be one dimensionalize. You wanna shut down the pass. Fine. We will run all over you. You wanna shut down the rush and makes us one dimensionalize . Fine. We will pass till you gas out from pass rushing and run all over you too.

This offense thrives in high pressure situations if the defense can hold it up. We almost stole the Tampa game. We soundly bust the door open in the 4th quarter every game this year.

In our first 4 games. We scored...

16
18
14
14

All in the 4th quarter. We only been outscored once in the 4th quarter due to penalties in the redzone keeping ATL alive, but the offense impose its will to a dominant OT.

An offense that can beat you whatever way possible, dominants the 4th quarter, and a defense slowing going in gear with clutch 4th quarter plays.

Williams pick
Klein near sack to force OT
Eli Fumbles

I feel very optimistic about making it to the playoffs.
