Saints head coach Sean Payton
Post-Practice Media Availability

Opening Statement: “A couple of roster moves: we waived safety Eric Frampton, we signed linebacker Kyle Knox from the practice squad. We moved him up, he is number 58. Then we added to the practice squad number 36 Eddie Whitley.”

How much have you been changing up?

“We got a lot of good work outside on the grass. Kind of what we have done this year, we did some of the teaching progression to start off in the walkthroughs and then moved it outside. I thought today was pretty smooth.”

What was the idea behind the music at practice?

“Just a little juice. I told them I brought my playlist in. Some of these guys have to get their iTunes up to count. They have to pay their bills. I got a lot on there.”

How would you describe the playlist?

“A variety, a good mix.”

We are trying to figure out how serious you are about the changes.

“Those are significant changes. When you change your Gatorade color, that’s a big deal. The night before, what you eat is a big deal. Sweatsuits, the only ones were getting kind of raggedy to begin with anyway. We are trying a different name brand.”

What has Nick Foles brought to the Eagles?

“I think number one, you see someone that is playing with a very good awareness, confident, gets rid of the ball. I think he is very accurate. When you start seeing the big plays they’ve had and the play action passing game, the screen game, then there is that juice that every player involved in the progression believed I can get the ball on this play. I think he has done a great job of delivering and keeping receivers on the move with the accurate location as opposed to stopping him with a throw that maybe isn’t located as well. I think you see all those things on film, his poise. I think that has been significant when you watch him.”
