Listen I'm a Falcons fan but I've got huge respect for Michael Thomas. People who say he only runs slants just show him the first minute of this video lol
He my favorite wr can’t guard mike he has the best hands in football he is a spectacular great route runner he makes big plays and who dat nation go saints black and gold forever 🙏❤️🐐👏🔥⚜️💛⚜️🏈
George Kittle Is The Goat no fucking idiot💀 saying only 12 passes he caught weren’t slants when he only ran slants 31% of the time which was the same as Julio Jones, and ur comparing your knowledge of varsity football to NFL and that’s how u don’t know what you talking about
I became a saints fan in 2013. But I didn’t watch games really until MT’s rookie year. The following year I started watching EVERY GAME religiously with my father. We continued constant viewership for the following years. He died during the first season without Brees. And I’m just so happy and grateful that the only four years where my father and I watched every game together were the greatest four years in Saints history (so far 🤞). Michael Thomas is my favorite football player of all time (and I live in Alabama)
I forgot Bridgewater helped Mike T set that catch record this year. Now just think wht his record would be if cool Brees would've played those 5 games....im thinking like 160-165 maybe...sheesh.
@@Leo-el4cv well he got 144, u dont think brees could have thrown him 15 more catches out of 5 games. Think about it....that's only 5 throws and catches per game, ive seen him with 12 catches in games.....c'mon now.
@4:22 and @17:24 that route is just absolutely disgusting. 😭😭😭🥵🥵🥵 He runs so many slants and then he counters with this and it's damn near unguardable. #CantGuardMike ⚜️⚜️
Haters be like: “Well if you take away his slants, screens, ins, outs, curls, and posts, then he only has 120 yards like yeah how about you take away Julio’s 6 most run routes
J B but his 6 most run routes would include deep routes, so he would only have the short stuff. I’m just saying there’s no reason to hate on it just because you don’t like the player, especially if no corner can stop it
J B take away Julio’s top 6 and you take away slant, fly routes, curl, dig, out, and posts. Take away Thomas’s and he loses slants, curls, dig, fly, out, and flat. You’re losing similar things for both of them, and both keep a good percentage of their routes and catches because, unlike what Twitter memes want you to think, they’re actually both fairly versatile
Dez should've beemnin the playoffs with that man right there. I'm just happy we have alot of choices for the draft, and plenty of players we could shuffle for another first rounder. Maybe grab 2 wideouts, or a secondary/linebacker. Maybe another an lile burrows. We have lots of options. I'm ready for the next season. 9f Brees retires n Taysom stays we have a brand new offense. I'm just excited man Let's go who dat!
Miss watching this guy I wish it didn't end the way it did his career went by in the blink of an eye and it didn't have to end in such a fashion 😢 #whodat
bro i'm watching in 2023 i am so mad because he cant stay healthy and it fells like 5 years ago when Michael Thomas and brees were hooking up for gamely touchdowns
Nobody will break that record for awhile if ever. Glad we drafted Can't guard Mike! He was right too. Stop talking sh** and do your job! If they talk trash just talk with the secondary, and let em fear them footsteps before you crack em. That's why I live football, and we have the talent to bring back Dome Patrol. So make it happen.
when are we going to get another ring? we all know we had one wr how about some emanual sanders or robby anderson highlights or any other wr we could have used.
Its not beneficial to nfl or media for saints to win superbowl. Follow the money. I only watch highlights now. Professional sports are rigged like professional wrestling. Just entertainment now
We had business not making to the superbowl that season.. That was the saints last chance.. Not to mention the freaking NFC champion game against the freaking Rams who looked like crap in the superbowl.. It gives me the runs every time I think of the ref not throwing the flag... makes me sick
Trent Guy 80% catch rate. Target amount doesn’t effect catch rate and michael Thomas has an 80% catch rate from 2019 season while Julio has a 63% and Hopkins has a 69%. Don’t wanna hear your excuses. Yeah he gets targeted insane amounts, because he catches everything and is open all the time. That’s why he’s the best.
All these are our routes slants or he catches and turns 5 yards past the line of scrimmage in the middle of the field. Sorry WR not on level of Julio or Hopkins
I honestly think the focus of Thomas’ record for this season ruined the offense and kinda led to losing this season. There needs to be more variety and giving others opportunities.
David Maritnez There was no other receiver getting constantly open Ginn is trash and trequan Smith is very inconsistent, Thomas is a big reason we won many games he was reliable on 3rd down catches to keep the chains moving
10:30 FAILCONS are so Trash, no time left, they won, Look how they act 🤣 Their Season was OVER 1-7 Record .... When they Play the Saints, it's like their SUPER BOWL. 🤣😂🤣
Good athlete. Very overrated tho. He could be something but he hasnt shown nearly enough to be that guy yet. No breaking a reception record off 5 yard hook routes wouldnt make him that guy.
The arguments about him only running short routes are dumb. If everyone knows that he’s staying short and still can’t stop him that just shows how good he is
Michael Thomas is the GOAT when it comes to routes and catching
Listen I'm a Falcons fan but I've got huge respect for Michael Thomas. People who say he only runs slants just show him the first minute of this video lol
Mike hits the ground hard a lot. man is tough
J Lee well duh it’s a problem lol. It’s not good for your future body/head, but for them to get up right after like they do, it’s impressive.
He my favorite wr can’t guard mike he has the best hands in football he is a spectacular great route runner he makes big plays and who dat nation go saints black and gold forever 🙏❤️🐐👏🔥⚜️💛⚜️🏈
Who dat!
Did u really jus say he got the best hands? 😂😂 u gotta be smokin
Dude caught 7 catches with a broken hand while also being double teamed. No wonder Xavier Rhodes is getting cut lol.
@George Kittle Is The Goat that's a lie lol
@George Kittle Is The Goat if you really think that then you don't know what a slant is
Sherman Brown He roasted you
George Kittle Is The Goat the fact that U said ur on a varsity team as if that mattered shows u don’t know wtf u talking about

Mantu Lotto yeah facts he did 149 with EASE
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar Mike Thomas best hands in the league.
@@mantulotto6254 not even close to best hands the routes he is running is easier to catch than 15+ yard routes these other elite receivers are doing.
@@Apeezys1229 what do u mean not even close 145 is pretty close to me, 160 is only 5 more catches per game if u include the games that brees was out.
Noticed when bridgewater was in MT routes went deeper? He’s lowkey held back by Brees.
Big facts. He caught a 40 yarder on Tre White's head from Cousins yesterday. It was the same with the few throws from Hill too.
It’s just our offence when Brees is in. Quick passes and no hits on Brees.
Do not do dat he gone be useless if he start runnin deep 😂😂
@@geraldjones4045 aye i saw him burn aj in todays game :)
can’t wait for him to be back
It’s a lot better to show the route JS
@4:22 and @17:24 that route is just absolutely disgusting. 😭😭😭🥵🥵🥵 He runs so many slants and then he counters with this and it's damn near unguardable. #CantGuardMike ⚜️⚜️
What's so disgusting about a flat ...
@@jash582 do you not see how he sets it up and how much separation he gets??? Julio nor D Hop can do this.
Blake Patterson Julio and DHop are good in their own ways. If u wanna watch a good route runner watch Davonte Adams
@@jash582 Mike is the best route runner in the league. 🤷🏾♂️
Blake Patterson no he’s not bruh 😭 just because he broke the record for most receptions doesn’t mean he’s the best route runner
Haters be like:
“Well if you take away his slants, screens, ins, outs, curls, and posts, then he only has 120 yards like yeah how about you take away Julio’s 6 most run routes
According to an analyst, Julio and MT both ran slants on 31% of their routes this year. Thomas just got targeted more on them because he was open
Also “according to an analyst” sounds sketchy so here’s the link

J B but his 6 most run routes would include deep routes, so he would only have the short stuff. I’m just saying there’s no reason to hate on it just because you don’t like the player, especially if no corner can stop it

@J B does he win games? On almost every play he picked up a first down on short routes. He also had the most yards so idk why you are talking shit rn.
Dez should've beemnin the playoffs with that man right there.
I'm just happy we have alot of choices for the draft, and plenty of players we could shuffle for another first rounder. Maybe grab 2 wideouts, or a secondary/linebacker. Maybe another an lile burrows.
We have lots of options. I'm ready for the next season. 9f Brees retires n Taysom stays we have a brand new offense. I'm just excited man
Let's go
who dat!
who gon tell him we drafted a center🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Internet: Wooooooooooow, how dare CGM run the routes called by the play caller!
no u didn’t just refer to him as cantguardmike😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Miss watching this guy I wish it didn't end the way it did his career went by in the blink of an eye and it didn't have to end in such a fashion 😢 #whodat
Now make one of all of the other receivers combined. It probably wouldn't even be 5 min long.
You're joking right 😭
There's no way you think every receiver combined had a fourth of Thomas's catches
@@jash582 this is a year old, but he was talking about the other saints wrs I think
bro i'm watching in 2023 i am so mad because he cant stay healthy and it fells like 5 years ago when Michael Thomas and brees were hooking up for gamely touchdowns
Can’t. Guard. Mike. ⚜️💪🏾🖤
Mike the Kobe of football
Nobody will break that record for awhile if ever. Glad we drafted Can't guard Mike!

Thomas May break his own.
Steelers fans we feeling Michael Thomas????
@7:27 is when I knew Teddy was ready to lead this team after Drew retires.
for the panthers
Oh how wrong you were
@@treycotter He played too well for the Saints to be a backup any longer. He was ready to be Drew's successor but Drew hasn't retired yet.
so much for "slant boy"
Show the catch vs the bucs in the playoffs
At 9:13 is all ima say only players I know capable of that with his body structure is randy moss that’s enough said alone
when are we going to get another ring? we all know we had one wr how about some emanual sanders or robby anderson highlights or any other wr we could have used.

We had business not making to the superbowl that season.. That was the saints last chance.. Not to mention the freaking NFC champion game against the freaking Rams who looked like crap in the superbowl.. It gives me the runs every time I think of the ref not throwing the flag... makes me sick
I like it better when they wear white socks with the black uniforms
0:25 poor guy!
X marks the spot!
Michael Thomas is the best but he needs to start breaking tackles because if he does that on those plays he would of had 20+ yards every time
Yeah he should just start doing that, it’s no major task or anything
Michael thomas isn't even top 3 WR in the league
Trent Guy So most receptions and yards with 2 qbs means nothing? Not to mention he breaks a 15 year reception record.
@@treycotter its not hard when you get the ball thrown to you every play
Trent Guy 80% catch rate. Target amount doesn’t effect catch rate and michael Thomas has an 80% catch rate from 2019 season while Julio has a 63% and Hopkins has a 69%. Don’t wanna hear your excuses. Yeah he gets targeted insane amounts, because he catches everything and is open all the time. That’s why he’s the best.
Dawg💔
how about every td of this season?
Love how he broke the record with a TD
All he runs is slants and comeback routes lol idk how they couldnt guard him but they couldnt lol
Route running, spacing, and catching.
This is 20 minutes long😳
No it’s 19:24 mins long
Blah blah blah slants outs post routes blah blah blah... bottom line is.. YOU CANT GUARD HIM! And thats FACTSSSS
Anything to take our minds off the defense huh?
All this for what?
Losing to Kirk Cousins?
I am dissapointed ;(
All these are our routes slants or he catches and turns 5 yards past the line of scrimmage in the middle of the field. Sorry WR not on level of Julio or Hopkins
You’re right. He’s better lol
Receiver don't run deep. He no good. Ooga booga. Is that how your mind works?
May be the most boring highlights I’ve ever watched
Nah, everything about him is so technical. He's a genius.
Only ran slants and posts
@@Joe-ye6ms Yeah, you're a dumbass.
@@modetallah yeah, he is right
Only ran slants, out route, and posts
And gets great separation......even by a little because his catch radius.
