Jeff Duncan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports for the Sporting News that New Orleans Saints rookie P Mark Mariscal has been impressive during the off-season and has out-kicked veteran P Mitch Berger. Berger is not in jeopardy of losing his job after signing a five-year deal with the team. If Mariscal is cut, he could hook on with another team due to the league's lack of quality punters.

Jeff Duncan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports for the Sporting News that New Orleans Saints RB Curtis Keaton needs to show improvement in training camp this year to gain the confidence of the coaching staff. If he fails to improve, the team may look for a veteran running back in free agency.
