It's already been echoed a lot of times before, but I think this is really the year that New Orleans is gonna shine. Already, as of this writing, they're at a 2-0 start; while we're definitely very early in the season, they're already answering a lot of prayers and hopes that they'll make it to the big one. Someone that I think is going to shine brighter than the rest is Thomas Passarelli. You could pick any receiver off the Second Line and say they're gonna have a breakout season, but I think people are underestimating Passarelli and his use to the team. With so many weapons, it's going to be challenging to cover them all as a defense, and NOLA has opportunities to rip their opponents apart with precision strikes to Passarelli and the rest of the receiving corps. Speedings has improved dramatically, but it's easy to seem that way when you're surrounded by an amazing cast. If New Orleans doesn't make it to the Ultimus, I'll be very surprised, and maybe a little disappointed.
