Michael Thomas Out for Start of Season

07-28-2021, 05:53 PM

As I've been stating for several weeks, CB #2 is a bigger hole right now than any other position ... including WR.

Sean Payton basically said the same thing today in his response to reporters a short while ago.

Adding Poole was a great addition, however we're not done at cornerback, specifically the boundary opposite Latt.

I have read you yourself criticizing the front office for ignoring the health concerns of the individual player.

Delvin Breaux?

Payton sure doesn’t seem like he’s very happy with Thomas right now. I’m starting to think maybe there’s something to all the rumors about the rift.

I wonder how much frustration is with MT and/or the medical staff?

I do think some of this falls on Mike, but I'm also feeling fairly nervous about our medical staff and the possible lack of attention on the situation. Players have surgeries and rehab programs in the offseason all the time - for cripes sakes especially in football! If this training staff is blowing it then they need to be replaced, because a good training staff can be the difference in winning a championship or not. If Giannis' knee did not get the proper diagnosis and treatment, almost certainly no rings for the Bucks.

Have been prepared to give Mike Thomas the benefit of the doubt, but missing a follow up appointment?

You're a professional athlete under contract for millions of dollars, your entire focus is being at peak, optimum physical shape and you fail to follow up?

This is not good optics for Mike Thomas. Further, interesting that his big food drive coincided with the breaking news of his delayed medical treatment...

Seriously? If Loomis is discussing it openly with the press, you know damn well there not happy with Thomas failing to miss a follow up appointment with the doctors...

If they were covering for Thomas, they'd said so and not left it with a we're not happy with the timing and that's all we're gonna say; Saints FO would have covered for him...

That's just DA whining like a b*tch because he doesn't have first round picks at every position going into the season; man the f*ck up and start coaching or #GTFOH...

And now, even Saints beat reporters are openly questioning Mike Thomas...

A lot of people think Lebron James is a diva ... yet Lebron was pretty much back to normal 2 months after a high ankle injury that was pretty similar to Mike's. Yes I know there's a big difference between cleats and basketball shoes, but still.

Latt, David O, Mike T and now Deonte …

Kinda makes sense now why coach was in such a foul mood for his interviews on yesterday.
