Did anynone else notice how spectacular of a game this guy played

His pass coverage was unreal. This guy is one of the most underrated linebackers in the NFL

Pretty sure he took EJ's spot in the nickel, so he saw more playing time...

Maybe he's always been great, the coaching staff is just not using him correctly... it's a thought.

I have always liked Leber. What he lacks in physical tools he brings in hustle and smarts. He often seems to be in the right place at the right time and rarely misses a chance to make a play.
Hell ... on the long pass to Miller, Leber was about a fingertip short of knocking that down despite there being no pressure on Brees.
I am very happy we have someone like Leber in the lineup after losing our major playmaker EJ. Leber's veteran leadership was very evident last night.

He saved the game with that one pass block.
If he hadn't got his hand up there to knock the ball away it would have been a certain catch...possibly a TD.
