Not a whole lot in here, but an interesting part at the end. It says Patten knows with the talent the Saints have that he might not start.

Was that ever even a possibility?

I hope he makes the team because of his experience and leadership, but start? Hmmm

Well you should always go into it with hopes of stating but "he realizes he may not"... nothing wrong with that.

I would love Patten even as a backup. Last year Colston was injured for 3 or 4 games. Injuries happen, and you need veterans who can plug right in and make a difference immediately.

In the Saints new offense under Coach Payton, it's not important where you start, it's where you finish. Starting in this offense really doesnt matter because when your in and your open that lil fella by the name of Drew Brees will definitely find you.

Exactly. I don't care if your name is Peter Pumpkinhead and you're 49 years old. Just get open and catch.
