Saints Training Camp: Oxnard Day 1

After traveling to California yesterday, the Saints practiced out in the beautiful California weather which has to be better than the weather here on the gulf coast. The Saints have shown a lot of intensity out on the practice field, apparently the Texans game has made some players very upset with their performance. Which is exactly what Saints fans want to hear.

One highlight of note today, Gregg Williams was not happy. He made the defense do a lot of work today. If you were a conspiracy theorist, you may even think Payton and Williams planned this. The offense and defense are working much harder after their loss than they were last week. As well, the Texans are more optimistic about their next match up.

I'm posting this as practice ends, so expect updates later on tonight. For now, go ahead and make the jump to see

I thought that Romeus wasn't even scheduled to be fit enough to play in 2011 and was, therefore, a low-risk reclamation project for 2012?

Thats what everyone thought would happen, but I don't think anything official was ever announced.

Romeus said he'd be fine and ready to go this season.

I'm thinking PUP may be best, or even IR, but thats just speculation.

if he could go this year I would look at it like purely a bonus.

If he could go next year I would consider it a bonus with the type of injuries he had and the extent of rehab associated with such injuries. ...and with "go" I mean being at least a rotational player.

If he gets healthy he will start for us.

I wonder what the humidity is like in Oxnard??

Sean Payton said it was a little bit chilly and that he was under dressed for practice.

	W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground. Last edited by Crusader; 08-23-2011 at 02:38 AM.. Reason: Did something stooopid.
