No love for MY MAIN MAN, #84, ML! [NOTE: Now has NYT story link]
Lots of talk around the bobble-headed NFL pundits about the Special Teams of Chicageax for obvious reasons, hester's had a strong year for sure and there has been a lot made of Drew's recovery and DEUCE's recovery both from sever injuries and surgeries yet I haven't heard ONE WORD about Michael Lewis' story from the obscurity angle of his even being IN the League to that of his injury and surgery and then of his strong and remarkable recovery! We've had three MAJOR positions surgicaqaly rebuilt to perform once again at the highest level of professonal sports!
Where is that story? Why has Michael's contribution of great field position been lost amoungst all of the "Gross-out-man" stuff, the bears defense and then of course the "incredible" hester story and the (of course I'm happy to hear and read about DEUCE and Drew) stories of #'s 9 & 26 yet no mention of #84!
I'm here to spread the love Michael's way to let him know I'VE been watching and noticing just how significant his contribuitions have helped the TEAM with great establishing field position to shorten the field and keeping opponents penned back into their own end of the field! I believe the eaglettes didn't cross the 50 unitl the second half or something crazy like that! Man, THAT is a strong positive for The SAINTS! Never one to grab for the spotlight , ML , the beautiful #84 , is a huge story and I'm certain that if The SAINTS earn their right to The DANCE, there WILL be much mention of just what Michael means to The New Orleans SAINTS!
Look out Chicageaux! The SAINTS Are Coming and Michael Lewis is leading the way!
