Props to Max Unger - He's a stud

Re: Props to Max Unger - He's a stud

Saints center Max Unger providing security, comfort for Drew Brees the past 4 seasons

Quote:

To see how much New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees appreciates center Max Unger, go back and watch the play when Brees broke the NFL’s career passing yardage record in Week 5.

After the play, a 62-yard touchdown, the first person to congratulate Brees was left tackle Terron Armstead, who wrapped Brees in a hug. Then, tight ends Benjamin Watson and Josh Hill as well as right guard Larry Warford joined in on a group hug. From there, about 20 Saints players surrounded Brees and jumped for joy.

Unger wasn’t in that group. Instead, Unger was down the field, trying to separate wide receiver Michael Thomas from Washington cornerback Josh Norman as the two were jawing after the play.

“I turn around and everybody is celebrating, and I was like, ‘Oh crap, I forgot,’” Unger said.

Before Brees returned to the sideline to hand the record-setting ball to Pro Football Hall of Fame president David Baker, the quarterback ran downfield to embrace his center, and Unger said he was glad Brees made a point to celebrate with him.

“He’s as important a part of it as anybody,” Brees said of Unger. “He’s the glue that holds a lot of what we do together.”

Unger brought a veteran presence and leadership from a winning organization. Not to mention he's a total badass! He was the reason I wasn't unhappy with the Graham trade.

Let's remember, as Graham is a great example, Brees makes receivers better. Our coaches and front office are some of the best in the business. There are times I question some decisions, but this trade wasn't one of them.

I remember being pissed about this trade when we lost Jimmy. That's the day I learned never to question the great Sean Payton.

Re: Props to Max Unger - He's a stud

For whatever reason, I always wondered how Unger felt about the trade at the time. I imagine he's pretty happy about it now. He's a stud, and I'm glad we have him!

Re: Props to Max Unger - He's a stud

Unger is a big time locker room guy as well. He's the kind of guy who's not going to put up with a team of underperformers, and he leads by example and makes everyone around him better just by being there.

Re: Props to Max Unger - He's a stud

We fleeced the SeaChickens on this one. Their line has steadily declined since & ours has gotten better ever since. Great trade.

Re: Props to Max Unger - He's a stud

The Saints best trade ever

Still want the truth to come out from DA and Payton as to how Stephone Anthony went from being on the All-Rookie team to cast off...

You are going to get a bad back, my friend, carrying this huge bag of past disapproved transactions throughout your remaining journey of 'Who Dat!' fandom.

Exorcise this demon, JP.

Oh, and ...

17-2 Baby!

No Head Coach has handicapped his teams' success more than Sean Payton...

No, and that's why I'd like to hear what's going on...
