The marquee matchup between Frank Gore and Reggie Bush didn't happen the way I thought it would. But as you've probably heard, I gave Deuce McCallister a call after New Orlean's great win over the 49ers. It was fantastic to see him back out there and looking great.
His performance backs up what I've been saying all year--the Saints are the real deal with a lot of weapons. The 49ers keyed on Reggie and slowed him down a little. But now, if Deuce can stay healthy, teams will have to key on him as well. This will help Reggie, and it will do great things for Drew Brees.
Six touchdown passes? You can't be serious, Brett! With that performance, Brett moves up to number 3 in the season's rankings. Aaron Rodgers has dropped out of the top five for the first time. If his shoulder is not hurt too badly, he'll remain consistent, though.
It was good to see Larry Johnson re-emerge this week, too. I had hm picked as number 13 in my list of picks. I think he'll be a solid contributor, but I still want to wait and see if he'll crack the top five consistently.
The Patriots are now a mystery. Their upcoming game against the 49ers should be a decent test, because the Niners have a decent defense. I am still counting on Randy Moss to put up some consistent numbers. But the Pats won't truly be tested until they back in there against their nasty division rivals.
