Trouble in New Orleans

Recommended Posts

WR Michael Thomas ruled out for Monday Night Football, not due to injury, but because he was involved in an incident in practice this week where he punched teammate Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Will not play as a result of team discipline. Uh oh Aints...

True but he is also a very good player

He's very good but a bit overrated. Peppered with targets by an accurate Brees in that Payton scheme. The guy has average like 11 yards per catch his career, that's a very pedestrian number. Not a whole lot of TDs either.

I mean fights at practice result in suspensions? What has the NFL come to. Also Haha Saints.

The team imposed the "suspension" not the league. So he fuged up badly enough that the team decided the best decision was to suspend him a game rather than let him play. Maybe the ankle injury and upcoming bye played into the decision, but either way it's pretty clear that there's some issues in that locker room there...

I dunno man, he’s probably they best WR in the game. The Saints offense isn’t the same without him. If you go watch Bridgewater’s highlights from his time in New Orleans, Michael Thomas made him look very good and is a big reason why he’s here today.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
