Considering the source, this compliment needs to be taken with far more than a grain of salt, as Brandon Marshall is known for abusing the additive that is exaggeration. We're talking about a guy who needed to see no more than approximately one practice to speak glowingly about the promise of both Jay Cutler and Geno Smith, so to trust his initial analysis is to not understand its history. History be damned, however, because the Saints - a team that bested last year's 8-game win streak with this year's 9-game win streak - have lent credence to the type compliment that has undeniably been seen coming to fruition on Sundays. From the top down, New Orleans is currently a machine, and it's one whose productivity, regardless of cog replacement, seems to be compounding with each passing week. There's a reason it seems as though they've been drippin' with the juice lately, and it's because Sean Payton and Drew Brees demand the grind that is the mid-week squeeze out of team that knows how talented they are while knowing how little that could mean if they don't keep putting the work in. They might look and sound cocky from time to time, but their Sunday swag is in full force because of their preparation, as opposed to in spite of it.
Brandon Marshall has played in a grand total of zero postseason games while making his rounds in all the wrong places at all the wrong times. Therefore, his bullish bias aside, it stands to reason that he hasn't seen anything like the relationship that exists between Sean Payton and Drew Brees and/or the effort that goes into making the most of their excellence. As both veteran wide receivers who have gotten no more than a glimpse into the game-planning have attested, this Saints' team in special in play, personality, and professionalism.
