Finally, it's Friday. While a lot of our attention has been on the Hornets and the past 24 wild hours, there was still focus on the Saints. One game at a time, as the kids say.

Here's some Saints Linkage for enjoyment purposes only. No players or writers or animals were harmed in putting this together.

Mike Triplett of the T-P listened to DC Gregg Williams on Thursday and filed this report, which basically says that, sure, Jabari Greer might not play, but his defense is all about the team, not the individual.

One individual who is excelling this year, though, is defensive end Will Smith. Nakia Hogan says that he didn't listen to the naysayers a year ago. He knew the score and so did those in charge.

Also, did you notice that Charles Grant has played on the inside some during games? Triplett has.

Alex Kracov of the Tulane Hullabaloo has been watching and he says these Saints are showing signs of dominance.

Kristian Garic of WWL Radio wonders if this is a trap game for the Saints. And then he realizes that's a funny thought.

Jim Mashek of McClatchy Newspapers says the Saints need to worry about home-field advantage, not an undefeated season.

Canal Street Chronicles interviews a Rams blogger and queries him on St. Louis' team.

Steve Korte of the News-Democrat looks at the Anthony Hargrove story from a St. Louis perspective.

Whereas the Baton Rouge Advocate's Sheldon Mickles writes about Hargrove from the New Orleans perspective.

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said this year's Saints have put it all together and he's not sure these Rams can keep pace.

And finally, Brett Martel of the Associated Press writes that Robert Meachem is finally showing fans why the Saints selected him in 2007.
