Chris Thompson feels the pain Womens Benjamin Watson Jersey , not the nerves.Eleven months ago, the running back was in the middle of a career season with the Washington Redskins before he broke his right fibula on a freak play at the Superdome against the New Orleans Saints. He returns to the site of that injury Monday night looking like his old self but not quite feeling back to normal."As far as my speed and my route-running, all of that, yes," Thompson said Thursday. "As far as feeling pain-free, no. That's the only negative that I have right now."It's a negative Thompson is certainly overcoming as the almost-perfect complementary backfield piece to Adrian Peterson. His 20 catches are the most on the team, and coupled with his 5.5 yards a carry average and pass protection skills, he is one of the most valuable pieces of the offense.Just three games with Thompson have made a believer out of quarterback Alex Smith."It's easy to label those guys as kind of scat backs, specialist-type backs Youth Cameron Jordan Jersey , but I don't think Chris is limited in that way," Smith said. "He's a guy that can do everything and has a ton of tools."Thompson was the Redskins' do-everything player last season before the injury. He had 804 all-purpose yards and six touchdowns in nine-plus games before a Saints defender rolled up on him and caused the fracture.Coach Jay Gruden is proud of the 27-year-old's diligence in rehab and ability to hold himself back in training camp and preseason to get prepared for Week 1. Thompson is on the field and productive but has to fight through pain during the week at practice as he bounces back from games."It's recovery stuff," Thompson said. "It's just all part of the process. I'm able to play now and game days for some reason I really don't have much pain at all. It's kind of different during the week."Thompson has come back from severe knee, shoulder and back injuries in the past, so pain tolerance doesn't seem to be an issue. His team certainly can't tell he's bothered by anything right now because Thompson seems to be on top of his game."He's explosive and fast and physical and everything he was before the injury, if not better," Gruden said. "He hasn't lost a step, in my opinion."Saints coach Sean Payton said Thompson is "certainly someone you have to pay attention to," and he's not alone in thinking that way. Green Bay doubled Thompson in coverage to limit his impact in Week 3 Womens Patrick Robinson Jersey , but Smith, Peterson and tight end Jordan Reed were able to do enough to put up 31 points on the Packers.Washington will likely have to keep up that pace against New Orleans, which has averaged over 34 points a game so far this season. The Redskins can count on Thompson to help that cause as he tries not to dwell on his injury when he's back at the Superdome."I'm just excited to get back," Thompson said. "I haven't had any nerves or even really thought much about me going back and the injury and the whole payback thing. I'm really not thinking about that. I know probably when the game comes around it'll be some nerves going maybe. But as of right now, it's just focus on just trying to win the game."NOTES: WR Josh Doctson did not practice Wednesday or Thursday because of a heel injury. Gruden said Doctson got kicked in the heel Monday and isn't sure if the 2016 first-round pick will be ready to face the Saints. ... CB Josh Norman (hamstring) expects to be ready to play Monday night.AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed. Another week, another Saints victory. This win may not have been as impressive as the previous two, but the defense really stepped up and limited the high flying Falcons offense to only 17 points on their way to a tenth straight victory.Bushrod on the edgeVeteran offensive lineman Jermon Bushrod got the start in place of the injured Terron Armstead and would have his hands full going against Takkarist McKinley and Bruce Irvin on the left side of the line. His day started off rough, giving up multiple pressures with one leading to a Brees sack by Terrell McClain, but the staff gave him some help with tight ends and running backs chipping the defensive ends. He was able to settle in some during the second half and provide better protection Youth Mark Ingram II Jersey , but getting Armstead back soon will be paramount. The Saints will go against some talented front-sevens in he next few weeks with Dallas and Carolina coming up.Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports The LinebackersThe linebacker group is turning into one of the strongest units on this team. A.J. Klein was able to get consistent penetration on the Falcons offensive line and blew up a couple of plays in the backfield. He also nabbed his second career interception on a pass tipped by Tyeler Davison. Meanwhile, Alex Anzalone is really stepping up and making plays all over the field. He sent Julio Jones for a helicopter ride and forced a fumble to kill a possible scoring drive by the Falcons right before halftime. This is on top of what Demario Davis has been doing all season and is clearly the best defensive offseason addition the Saints have had in recent memory.The Undrafted Paradise Drew Brees threw four touchdown passes, all to players who did not hear their name called on draft day. Tommylee Lewis and Austin Carr both caught their second career touchdown receptions, while Dan Arnold and Keith Kirkwood were able to haul in their first touchdowns in the NFL. Games like this only bolster Drew Brees’s MVP chances as the usual suspects of pro bowlers Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara weren’t relied upon as often. Instead he was able to get the job done with guys who have less than double digit game experience. Carr’s touchdown came as a result of the hard bite by Atlanta’s cornerback on a play action fake. Carr lines up tight to the right side of the line. Brees will fake the hand-off then roll-out to his right as Carr stays in to block and help sell the play action. This draws the cornerback in to play the run, and Carr will slip out and run a corner route past the defender for the easy touchdown.Dan Arnold's touchdown would be a bit more difficult, as the safety was in decent position to defend the pass. Arnold did a good job at fighting off the jam from the safety at the line of scrimmage to get a step ahead of him on his go route. Brees also looked off the safety (#27) in the middle of the field and got him out of position. Without any help over the top, Arnold is able to haul in the perfectly placed pass from Brees.
