Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice - UPDATED
 

from Jeff Duncan's Twitter:

- Only in New Orelans: Minicamp WhoDat crowd just serenaded Saints WR Marques Colston with "Happy Birthday Song." He turned 27 today.

- Usama Young is working at FS with first-team defense in place of Sharper (rehab) and Malcolm Jenkins (absent). Update on Jenkins post-prax:doh:
- M.Colston putting on a show right in individual passing drills. Beat blanket coverage by J.Greer twice. Left Greer just shaking his head. :bng:
hopefully MJ's absence isn't due to injury!

-----------------------------------UPDATE-------------------------------------

- Malcolm Jenkins did not practice this morning but he's OK. He said he bumped knees with a teammate on Friday.

- Saints installed their 3-4 defense today. Troy Evans worked w/ 1s at SLB. Bobby McCray also saw time at OLB.

- DTs Anthony Hargrove & Sedrick Ellis also saw reps at DE in the 3-4.

- CB play was very good today. WRs made some plays, particularly Colston & Lance Moore, but coverage was solid.

- Rough day overall for the QBS not named Brees. Saints will sign a veteran backup before camp. Book it.

- Morning hilite was either rookie TE Jimmy Graham's long TD on a seam route from Brees or U.Young's clothesline of R.Bush.

Young could probably use the practice. I would hate for him to step on the field looking lost again. lol

Re: Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice
 

Young is terrible. We are doomed if he plays.

Re: Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice
 

Hahaha, he is pretty bad. You never know why guys miss practice. We should be fine

Re: Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice - UPDATED
 

Wonder if these 3-4 looks are new ones?

Re: Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice - UPDATED
 

This is what i like to hear, the rookie making plays already i really can't wait til preseason to see these guys in action, i'm pretty confident that graham will get some snaps in regular season aswell

Re: Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice - UPDATED
 

agreed.

Re: Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice - UPDATED

Re: Good & Maybe Bad News From Today's Practice - UPDATED
 

I was hopping for big thing from Usama Young. But if he can't cut it.
