New Orleans Saints Kenny Vaccaro talks about scuffle with Jimmy Graham, feisty attitude: video - Video | NOLA.com

I like the fact that the rookie has an attitude to him, it seems like we had a secondary that were scared to hit people last year, Vaccaro won't shy away, as long as he is smart with it though

I think he's a nice guy :)

Expect a few pops for this one Ginger-Zilla

Hard to hit people when you're out pickin' up tacos for Spags.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

thanks for bringing in the right attitude kenny its whats needed on that de. i hope ryans get that installed to the rest.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

scared to hit people is an understatement... you could also say forgot how to tackle all together.

I like the attitude. It was missing all together last year, we need that fire/passion back.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

They couldnt tackle good under Williams either except for the SB run.

remember the Lynch run?

Thats about one of the hardest plays to watch vs the Saints in the past 20 years, the last one being the Hebert interception and lateral vs Falcons in the playoffs in early 90s.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Honorable mention goes to Culpepper's GW 2-pt conversion run and the Browns GW Hail Mary TD.

Anyone else feel that the Saints have coddled Graham a bit?

I like that a rookie got after him a bit; I am glad the coaches didn't tell him to dial it down!

And the XP after the River city relay.

The dude is cocky as hell...I like it.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I knew he was the right pick. I just knew it. It's hard to miss on safeties early in the 1st round.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

And letting Alex Smith walk into the endzone....

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Dial up the intensity.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Vaccaro has a nasty streak and I like it.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I'm not ready to say he is the 2nd coming of Earl Thomas but the kid has got potential.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Stick 'em...

ha ha ha

Stick 'em...

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I'll bet he drives an Impala with those tire things that stick out.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

You know what, I think I am. I'm willing to say it. I got major belief in him.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

KillaVac!!!!!!!!!

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I felt that way about him coming out of college. His camp performance is just icing on the cake. Felt the same about Sean Taylor. I was right.

Also felt that way about Antrel Rolle. Not so much....but I'm willing to take a chance.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Yeah that one was pathetic to, Culpepper fumbles the ball and still walks straight up the middle into the end zone.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I kind of had an idea of all the 1st rd picks, this one is the one that will shine bright.

I figured their was a pretty large chance he would be starting to, after looking at last seasons safety performance, two guys stood out, that was Raphel Bush and Quddus, so its possible Harper and Jenkins are out at that position, Jenkins will be moved to Nickel. That would be a more logical choice IMO.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Nice pick of Kaepernick. Where was it taken?

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I cannot wait to see him tear up some failclowns!

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Well with him and Jenkins in the same secondry look for a couple of 15 yard penatly calls

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Sometimes those are worth it if it sets the tone for the rest of the game.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I love that attitude from Vaccaro. A defence needs to be able to be nasty.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

I'd trade a 15 yd unnecessary roughness penalty if for the rest of the game that WR has alligator arms

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

We need a standout stud on D and I think KV can be that guy!

On another note, is that a "Roman Harper" grey spot I see on his head? :)

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Yes, a NASA satellite has confirmed it

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

And he is left handed. How cool is that!! :bng:

Kenny Vaccaro defends self on Twitter following Graham confrontation


Following a wave of media stories reporting that he tossed a football at tight end Jimmy Graham’s head after a tussle at training camp Tuesday, New Orleans Saints rookie Kenny Vaccaro got on his Twitter account Wednesday to clarify that he has never before been accused of being a “dirty player” and to deny he meant to throw the ball at Graham intentionally.

In a series of tweets published not long after Wednesday morning’s practice, the rookie safety wrote, in part: “In all my years of football I’ve never been ejected from a game or been called a dirty player. I’ve always taken pride in playing aggressively but within the confines of the rules.”

Vaccaro, a first-round draft pick, added he did not purposely throw a football at Graham or hit any of his teammates outside of a padded drill, noting that he has “the utmost respect” for his fellow Saints — especially the veterans who have helped maintain the organization’s legacy.

“So until my coaches, teammates or my mother tells me to take it easy I will continue to leave it all out on the field,” Vaccaro said.

Vaccaro and Graham briefly wrestled Tuesday when they came down with ball at the same time during one-on-one passing drills. He then apparently tossed the ball at Graham, who moved toward Vaccaro before safety Malcolm Jenkins intervened and broke things up.

Vaccaro had drawn attention with his aggressive play Sunday, the team’s first practice with full pads on, so the incident with Graham was widely reported. Vaccaro prefaced his tweets by saying he just wanted “to quickly address some of the stories coming out about my actions during camp.”

Stay off twitter and stay on those relievers.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro talks about his scuffle with Jimmy Graham, fiesty attitude
 

Cant say that I was that haooy with the pick myself.I knew he was a good player but I wanted Jarvis Jones.I guess that injury concern may have played a part.
I love the kids attitude though.
