Congratulations to Drew Brees! Always humble, a class act and a great role model, he overcame a lack of "ideal height" to become the most prolific passer in NFL history. And he's still playing at an extraordinary level as he nears the age of 40.

Also in last night’s game, QB/RB/ST Taysom Hill rushed for a touchdown, the first of his career. Overall he had 5 carries for 23 yards. Doesn’t sound like much but it’s a great sign that he’s still involved even now that Mark Ingram has returned from suspension.

When was the last time we have ever seen a white qb as a part time gadget player? I remember the Jets tried using Tebow on special teams and some trick plays, but they were so rare. Taysom reminds me of a white qb that was drafted out of arkansas by the name of Matt Jones some time in the early 2000's. He was a big fast guy who converted to receiver and if he would have kept his head on straight(substance abuse) he could have been made a big impact in this league.

For some strange reason, Weenieworld doesn't have the same ultra-positive view of Taysom Hill as they do of Lamar Jackson, from the headline of this blurb to the body of it:

Taysom Hill trolls Kamara owners with TD run

Taysom Hill rushed five times for 23 yards and one touchdown in the Saints' Week 5 win over the Redskins. A coach's pet to Sean Payton, Hill has continued to be heavily involved in the Saints' game plan in recent weeks. His five carries were one fewer than Alvin Kamara and his one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter was the first of Hill's career and a dagger to the hearts of Kamara owners. Hill is a backup quarterback who sees heavy red-zone usage and plays on special teams.

A "coach's pet" would amount to more than a few gadget plays a game. Derogatory and condescending. Hill is a well rounded football player who ranks among the most exciting in the NFL already. Not someone's sea turtle.

A few things popped into my mind watching the game last night. Leo had mentioned earlier that the Redskins have been one of the most caste teams going for decades now. I can't think of one wide receiver period. And John Riggins was there in the 1980's. So it pained me to watch them without WR Trey Quinn and S Troy Apke even though he doesn't start. Both are out with injuries. Talk about bad karma. A team that has had it's head in the caste toilet for years now finally gives me some hope only to have their two shiny new white players shelved.

But back to the game. I could have sworn Brees didn't throw an incomplete pass. Amidst all the Brees celebrations and it was rightfully his night, I thought about the current state of DB play. I figured if Apke was around he would have been the "main" problem according to the babbling mob. But alas Apke was nowhere in sight so we had a nearly all black defense get shredded like there was no tomorrow. The DBs of the Redskins weren't merely bad. They were puke inducing bad. And they are not alone in this league. Has anyone ever figured out that DB play is at an all time low? And getting worse by the day!! How fitting that the best defensive play of the night was a sack by the lone white defender Kerrigan only to have it erased by a DB who committed a personal foul after the play. Way to sabotage your teammate dumbass.

Of course the theory is that no white man could ever pay CB because it takes special physical gifts. People like Steve Sailer and others love to point out that the reason is simple. "Blacks are superior athletes" and CB is the position that only the" best athletes play." I won't even start in on the lack of white safeties but it is high time someone point out that these so called great CB athletes look like mule turd eating idiots. And if they are the world's greatest athletes why do they look like garbage debris every stinking week? And deficient? The Emperor has no clothes but no one except us here at caste is willing to point it out.

The Saints haven't been a model anti caste team over the years either except for a brief period where they started three white LBs but generally they have been a caste by the numbers team. But it is a relief to see all purpose Taysom Hill figure in on the action especially when things get important. We can only hope that Hill is just the opening act that opens the door for more versatile white athletes being used in ways that benefit the team. And he sees more action as the season wears on.

Hill represents the athlete than can chew gum and walk at the same time a feat many of the one trick straight line 40 yard dash black burners can't accomplish. Of course Hill has some jets of his own. He really adds a lot of spice when he plays offense. I hope a college player like QB Nick Fitzgerald is taking notes. And the ******* GM's and coaches who haven't figured out yet that adding versatile white athletes to the roster is a winning formula.

It's bizarre how many conservatives can see the anti-white male bigotry that exists in every level of American society but it's inconceivable to them that it might take place in football, as if football is magically different.

All you have to do is look at the athletic testing to see that many white men are athletic enough to play cornerback in college and in the pros. Some are more athletic than blacks playing in the league.

But these conservatives simply can't give up their apparently cherished belief that blacks are so athletically superior to whites that not one white man is athletic enough to play cornerback in the NFL.

T. J. Watt was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 5. If the Steelers would only let Anthony Chickillo replace Bud Dupree and Tyler Matakevich replace Jon Bostic as starters their defense would become semi-respectable instead of the mess it is now.
