I expect him to play both positions in different situations

As long as he's on the field as much as possible. I'm happy to see Johnson getting some first team reps also. I think he can be more than solid as a 3-4 end.

Just heard on Training Camp Live on the NFLNetwork; that the defense forced 3 takeaways in the first 8 plays in this mornings practice.

Harper said the players are reacting instead of thinking

I don't like for our defense to be forcing takeaways in practice....that means Drew is ready to throw 19 more picks.....

Difference between a takeaway and an interception.
Neither "Interception" or "Drew
Brees" was never mentioned in that conversation.


Settle down... Lol

First non-padded practice of training camp, and Drew is destined for 19 picks? You're such a pessimist

I really am when it comes to football. I expect the worse, so if the results are good I'm pleasantly surprised.

But the point I must stress, put me at corner and the Saints have a top 5 defense easy.
