Saints insiders are calling LB Darren Smith the “glue that holds the defense together� and say that Smith is a kind of security blanket for defensive coordinator Rick Venturi, who depends on him to get everyone in the right position on the field.

We’re told the Saints will give former No. 1 overall pick Ki-Jana Carter every opportunity to win the backup RB job because they believe Carter has a lot of life left in his legs and has been quick to pick up the team’s playbook


Although the Panthers expected there to be a battle for the starting quarterback position, we’re told that nobody expected both Rodney Peete and Jake Delhomme to look subpar in the preseason, something that has created a lot of uncertainty in Carolina.
