Saints Blitzing

I hate that word. There is no such thing as "overachieving". You are eithering doing your job, or you're not. Simple. Why do we have to make excuses when guys are doing better than they were expected to do, then fall short a little and do what they WERE expected to?

Because expectations are based on talent and history. Think of it this way: if you're a teacher and you have a student, who all semester made D's, then all of a sudden made A's, and no one else's grade were skyrocketig, would you think they just suddenly became a genius? "Overachieving" mostly has to do with consistency and durability. Sure the LBs can play well for 4 weeks, but can they do it for 16? We've already seen that as "no".
