Hello loyal EOSB readers. Welcome back to another fine edition of Saints Linkage, where we bring you the words and all you have to do is click on the hyperlink. Pretty easy, huh?
Lots to go on this lovely Wednesday. The Saints have today off so there's no access for the media. That doesn't mean we won't be writing things for y'all to read. Plenty out there today.
If you're not in a beignet mood today, maybe a scone will do. Or maybe a bagel with some lox and cream cheese. You could also go with some yogurt with granola sprinkled in. Just some suggestions.
As always, comments are welcome and discussion is warranted.
Normally I start with stuff from the home Web site. But today, Reggie Bush has decided he has had enough of being quiet. He's talking and he's talking a big game. Bush told a radio show he was on that the Saints are quite capable of going undefeated like New England did in the 2007 regular season.
But the rest of his teammates were just happy to get the win against Miami. In fact, they felt they needed a game like Sunday's to show themselves that they can win in any situation.
Charles Odum of the Associated Press in Atlanta writes that Mike Smith might be making some changes to help stop the Saints.
In the Houma Courier, Matt LeBlanc says these Saints are different. A year ago under similar circumstances, the team couldn't come back from a big deficit. But this year, they did.
T-P ace Jeff Duncan breaks down the film of Sunday's win and says there was coaching genius in there by Sean Payton.
Duncan also writes that Reggie Bush, the same big talker we began with, has become a role player in the Saints' offense this season.
Brian Allee-Walsh says Sunday's win was built in the summer, though it really appeared to happen in the second half.
Sheldon Mickles of the Baton Rouge Advocate listened to Sean Payton and deciphered this message from the head coach: these Saints are showing resilience.
Regardless, ESPN.com still has the Saints No. 2 behind the Colts in its rankings.
ESPN.com NFC South writer Pat Yasinskas put out his player stock and Drew Brees and Darren Sharper both are on the rise, he said.
Ken Trahan at neworleans.com says the Saints are bringing in fullbacks for tryouts.
The Hattiesburg American put out a column of the facts behind the Saints' 6-0 start.
At the Associated Press, Brett Martel says that Sean Payton is warning that we all shouldn't read too much into the fast start.
