Communication is paramount when frustration boils over. Michael Thomas and the New Orleans Saints have reportedly opened lines of contact to discuss, and hopefully bring to an end, any feud or frustration between the two parties. What the Saints avoid by not having to move on from Thomas is a crisis averted and what Thomas will be leaned on to do in New Orleans allots him more superstar potential. Moving forward together is the best option.Maddy Hudak of SaintsWire and ESPN Radio NOLA joins to break down camp Day 12. Why Ian Book continues to be the stand out quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. The Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston battle remains close heading into the first preseason game of the weekend and the pass-catchers continue to generate positive feedback despite depletion continuing at the position.On the defensive side, rookie Paulson Adebo continues his coming out party while Kris Richard gets the most of the defensive backs around him. Saints fans want to know when they'll get to see Kwon Alexander again, though they may not have to wait long, and the other linebackers who continue to stand out. The interior defensive line has taken on some losses of their own, but young players continue to fill the void.Follow Maddy on Twitter @MaddyHudak_94Follow Ross on Twitter @RossJacksonNOLASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
