2017 New Orleans Saints Training Camp

We need to find a way to keep Victor. Whether it be on the team or PS, need to hang onto him.

I saw Muhammed on the inside get a sack against Brees a little bit ago. Maybe it was a stunt, not sure, but he didn't come from end position. He's big

So it looks like AJ Klein is locked in as the Sam and Alex Anzalone is getting the majority of first team reps at Will... Who's gonna emerge in the middle? Te'o and Robertson have taken turns but Anthony has shown improvement.

They have to expect Kelemete back real soon or they would have already shopped for another training camp center to shotgun snap. Unger appears to be closer to a return as well.

Not sure what Vitt was thinking by moving the kid from MIKE to the outside last season. Kind of like moving RB Ingram to FB

. All I know is that Stephone has had 2 different coordinators & had to learn two different systems. Nolan will give SA every opportunity to succeed in the middle. There is better talent surrounding him this year as well.

Side note - don't sleep on Teo'. When healthy, the skill set is there to take command of a defense.

I guess it doesn't really matter who the Mike is in base because in nickel and other sub-packages Klein is playing Mike.

This is true and we are in those sub-packages around 60% of the time.

More highlights from Thursday's Saints practice: Michael Thomas caught a TD fade from Drew Brees and a TD slant from fourth-string QB Ryan Nassib on a day that was heavy on red-zone work. Brees also threw a perfectly-timed back-shoulder TD to Ted Ginn Jr. … Tempers flared a couple times between the offense and defense for the third or fourth time this week. Though some of that is normal in camp, Sean Payton appeared to admonish players for too much of it during one session. … Cam Jordan, Alex Okafor and Hau'oli Kikaha (with the second string) each appeared to get at least one sack inside the 10-yard line. … Receiver Corey Fuller had several nice catches as he has continued to be one of the most impressive players in camp. But don't forget about last year's undrafted rookie breakout, Tommylee Lewis, who has come on strong this week and caught a deep pass from Daniel.

I'd bet a paycheck that was D.A.'s call and not Vitt as Joe Vitt couldn't troubleshoot his way out of a hat...

Bringing in Mike Nolan will help D.A. as much as Anthony and the other linerbackers he will be responsible...
