Generally, I do an individual post for all four teams on the same day when I do a series of team-by-team mailbags. But this is not an ordinary weekend in the NFC South because the Falcons and Saints are playing on "Monday Night Football" and the Buccaneers have a bye.

That leaves the Panthers as the only team playing Sunday. You’ll notice I’ve already posted mailbags for the Bucs and Panthers. This week -- and this week only -- I’m going to wait to post the mailbags for the Falcons and Saints until Sunday.

I’m about to pack up my kayak and begin making my way across the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans and will work on the Atlanta and New Orleans mailbags on the way. Seriously, I’ll be taking a plane, so my computer won’t get wet. But, someday, I’d like to at least try to take the kayak. I don’t think I would make it all the way to New Orleans, but I’d settle for a couple hundred yards off the coast of Clearwater.
