Hard-Hitting Harper Back On Field

Tell me about the up-downs with Gregg Williams.

“That’s how you have to do it to play with Gregg. You have to do 40 up-downs to get in and anybody that we bring in during the season has to do it too. We knew it was coming. It comes with the whole condition test and it’s part of being a part of our defense. It makes it fun and we definitely enjoy it.”

Was there a sense of real competition beginning today?

“Yes. The coaches took it that way and we did too. Before that it was more like getting involved, letting a lot of younger guys and everybody try and get their feet wet a little bit. But today, you can definitely tell that the pace has picked up, everybody was playing a little faster, the pads were on and a little more popping. It felt good and I think we look pretty good today for our first day in pads. Overall I was pretty pleased with today.”

Full interview.

The defense looked pretty mad that you didn’t win the practice today.
“Our offense is good. They have a lot of different weapons and they definitely made some good plays today. Drew (Brees) made a few plays on our zero coverage and they caught a couple passes down field. The other stuff we have to get correcting and we are going to do that but overall, defensively, we look pretty good for the first day.”

Love that kind of competition in practise. It will really give the team an edge and get thm ready for the Packers.

With as good as our "O" is you would think the "D" would have luck against most teams
