As the New Orleans Saints cleared out their lockers a few days after their shocking playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas talked to reporters about their uncertain futures in New Orleans.

The Saints kept the right guy. While former No. 2 overall pick Bush was a non-factor on Sunday as his new team, the Miami Dolphins, fell to 0-2, the perpetually underrated Pierre Thomas, undrafted out of Illinois in 2007, helped the Saints (1-1) win a game they had to have against the Bears.

Watch him on screens, though, and he provides a textbook example of how to set up blocks and make the most of plays. His 12-yard gain in the second quarter was the perfect illustration, as he slowed down to wait for the linemen to get in front of him, found the gap they created and picked up a key first down to the Chicago 18.
