We've hit another Wednesday here at Saints camp. Hard to believe. The Panthers game will be here sooner than you think.

We've located more stories for you to speed read. Enjoy.

As always, comments are welcome and discussion is warranted.

Jim Henderson has watched the Saints for a good number of years and even he is beginning to believe. OK,  he has always believed. But he says this year's Saints aren't your father's Saints.

Juan Kincaid traveled to Austin, Texas and began to dissect the childhood and background of New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees. Part I aired Tuesday night. Part II airs tonight.

We're back at listening to people talk about an undefeated Saints run and while you may not be so sure of that after Monday's tough win, the players absolutely think they can do it says T-P columnist extraordinaire John DeShazier.

Pat Yasinskas at ESPN.com writes about Darren Sharper's contract and what he believes the Saints should do about it.

At FoxSports.com, they believe that the Saints are the No. 1 team in the league.

Over at SI.com, Peter King gives the whole world (who reads his columns) the four reasons the Saints are a vastly improved team, already within one win of their 2008 win total.

Michael Moses at kentnewsnet.com writes that the Saints' 7-0 start could lead to a rebirth of the city. Something tells me Moses hasn't been down here in awhile.

Tom Sorenson in the Charlotte Observer has a terrific column about how the Saints reflect the city that hosts them. It's a must read and dead on.

The blog site Bleacher Report still believes the Saints are the No. 1 program in the league.

Sheldon Mickles in the Baton Rouge Advocate writes that no one has to tell New Orleans what turnovers mean. The Saints have had way too many in the past two games. That has to change.

Jarrett Bell in USA Today believes the Saints know it's premature to start talking undefeated.

Brett Martel of the Associated Press says that the Saints' resurgent defense is helping the offense whenever it stumbles.

And finally, USA Today has the Saints and Colts tied for No. 1.

Double-Trouble Panthers (#34 and #26) will raid the dome on Sunday and put an end to all the 16-0 hype. It's going to be a "BALL-CONTROLLED GROUND ATTACK" against the Saints pourous rush Defense. Don't expect Louisiana's finest, Jake DelHOMO, to throw the ball more than 10 ten times against the Saints ball-hawking secondary. Ms. Porter will get the BUSINESS with the DOUBLE MOVE, courtesy on Steve Smith. Panthers 23 Saints 20
