Frustration boils over at Saints practice as fight breaks out

FinSaint · 06-06-2012, 02:19 PM

The New Orleans Saints have endured a frustrating offseason for obvious reasons. The offense -- missing its quarterback and head coach -- had a particularly rough Wednesday morning.

Backup quarterback Chase Daniel was repeatedly picked off and his passes kept getting broken up. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that linebacker Curtis Lofton touched Daniel after one play, which touched off a fracas.

Daniel threw the ball at Lofton, someone yelled "stay off the quarterback!" and pushing and shoving commenced.

Practice fights are a rite of summer. Fights usually pick up in volume in training camp, when the hitting truly starts and the players are more ornery. But the Saints have plenty to be ornery about now so they got started early.

Rapoport tells us the fighting lasted a minute before everyone got back to work. Meanwhile, Drew Brees was somewhere filming a NyQuil ad.

Saints get testy, fight ensues during practice - NFL.com

Whatever...

Daniels isn't looking good. Hmmm......
What should we do about that?
EDIT: What are we going to do about that?

Spag must have taken the training wheels off the defense, looks like they turned it up a notch

Dear Mickey Loomis,

stop being cheap, you know damn well the Saints are nothing without Brees. Just get the damn deal done! Now!

I'm starting to believe that even if Loomis gets very close it will not be enough.

Naw Chase had a flashback remembering how hard Lofton hit him in college when they played each other, flipped out for a second and his teammates on O came to his rescue cuz lets face it....Chase has no chance of taking Lofton in a fight. LOL. Its just a camp scuffle....least it wasn't on a suckerpunch level after the fact like Steve Smith or that guy from the Lions recently. It happens all the time...I found it funny & telling tho afterward when the media was in the locker room one of the reporters asked Malcom Jenkins if they ever got into like that with Drew. He said no nobody would touch Drew because Drew is our HOPE & DREAMS. LMAO.

Or real bad news with the quality of throws from our current starting QB.
