Saints Joint Practice With 49er's Cancelled

Sounds like a bunch of injury prone, wasted draft picks to me. Probably best to cut everyone and start over.

Yup. That exactly. In a preseason game you might have one or two of those scenarios. And maybe for one team, but not the other.

The nice thing about those joint practices is that the other team doesn't know what you are doing, whereas when practicing against your own team the defense knows every offensive play and vice versa.

I guess we’ll find out what the other team (and our team) is doing on Sunday…
