To be honest, its hard to watch the later players play due to the dimensions of the way it is set up. We have up close look at 1st and 2nd teamers, but the guys later down on the DC its harder to get looks at.



Actually, I didnt get to get near, but I included some of the guys I did get to meet :)



I think I figured it out.
Great pics!

And are they in full pads yet because lots of guys can shine in limited contact drills?
I dont think he could pass up Khiry, Ingram, nor Thomas. Havent we before carried 5 RBs on the 53 man? Cadet has been running with 1st team KO and punt teams, so he is hoping for that at least.

Friday I noticed after an hour or so each they stopped and did stretches again, and another time did wind sprints to stay loose.

Thank you! I am very blessed to get all of these. I dont know how TCs are in NOLA or how it was in Oxnard, but overall I am like a kid in a candy store. Loving it.

Re: 2014 Saints Training Camp
 
I admit I didn't know we actually carry 5 backs on the final 53. I am not big on Cadet at all so my opinion on Flanders is altered especially if he can return kicks at all. We haven't had a good returner since Reggie and last year we were awful in the return game in my opinion and like I said I've seen enough of Cadet. And our track record with UFA running backs is spectacular. He was a free agent right? Could Payton and Loomis have done it again?

Jack Vegas 07-28-2014 01:47 AM
Re: 2014 Saints Training Camp
 
This RB Derrick Strozier looks really interesting. I think he could be a big threat to Cadet's roster spot.

Flanders looks incredibly, incredibly similar to Aaron Stecker.

From the morning practice:

Kenny is legit one of the funniest players to watch. Dude decked Joe Morgan (I think Joe slipped a little too) on a reverse, and straight knocked down a RB (cant remember who) on another play, while always giving guys credit. Byrd and Kenny is going to be so much fun to watch.

Champ had a INT on a McCown ball. Very nice play. You can tell the DB's with their pads on are more physical. Pierre took some reps, spin moves and all.

Brandon Cooks on a slip screen when he was in the slot was amazing. He literally went through the hole and went untouched 40+ yards to the endzone.

Main person I saw get yelled at was Brian Dixon, not knowing exactly where to line up as a gunner for punt.

Strozier was getting more and more reps, to be honest I cant recall Ingram getting many at all? Maybe 5?

Lorig and Hill was getting reps at LS, to backup Justin.

Cooks also looks to be the guy for KR and PR, with Morgan/Meachem going to be his backup.

Corey White looked good with a few pass breakups.

One of the best guys is Zach Strief when it comes to fan interactions. Stayed over 30 minutes later signing, chatting with everyone, thanking people for being there. Even did a duck face photo with a girl. I am so glad we re-signed him.

Saw some other comments on this one. Several attendees said it looked like he was at top speed on his 2nd step.

Oh man, Brandin Cooks is gonna wreak so much havoc on defenses! Teams can put their best CB on Graham if they want but Colston, Stills, Cooks, etc. are gonna really test secondaries.

Teams will almost be forced to put a safety on Graham; no way you can dedicate a corner when you have Stills/Cooks/Colston on the field...

Today I am going to a "Picnic with the Saints", where we get to grab autos and pictures, and have hamburgers, hot dogs, watermelon, cookies, and drinks for $10
Well Virginia isn't exactly Saints country. I understand the reason for getting out of La in July and August, but you can't expect Saints fans to travel several states away for a month just to watch practice. I wish I could, but that just isn't a possibility. I'm sure the players understand. It's a trade off, they have to do what benefits the team in quest for wins.

I just hate going there, seeing Falcons and Panthers (and Calvin Johnson and other sports) jerseys, hearing people say "The Saints arent my favorite team, but they are here"

And the autography ebay sellers. My goodness its crazy.

Hmm, I don't know ZS52. I'm on the fence with this one. Not sure if I want our valued commodity covering punts or kick offs. Let Morgan/Cadet and player unknown handle special teams duties.

Just reporting what they showing on the field. I would be glad with Cadet doing it, or Morgan, but when the punt team is out, Cooks is returning everything.

No kidding...this is exactly the info we're wanting to hear...

Seems Cooks will be transitioned into the offense while getting him more touches through the return game...

Morgan is not making this team as his health can't be trusted...

I also forgot to mention, when I talked with Vinnie Sunseri about training camp, he said Alabamas preseason is much harder then the Saints.

Talking with him, I think he is going to be the breakout on offense. Dude just looks and seems like he is going to dominate. He says even when he is just sitting around he thinks about how he can get better. That was the one guy on offense I wanted to meet the most. If it wasn't for the Super Bowl the Saints will be in, I would say he would be in his first Pro Bowl.

Nothing like an offensive linemen coming of age...

It's the offensive linemen that make for the effective running game...

...so effective, the opposition is gassed by the fourth quarter...

I would believe that goes for a lot of the college teams. That's what the NFLPA does for you. I bet the players like it thou. I know how much I hate camps myself.

Ryan Griffin shines with Drew Brees sidelined in New Orleans Saints' scrimmage | NOLA.com

Yeah, that's my boy...Tulane can be proud!

Re: 2014 Saints Training Camp
 
The Saints weren’t keeping score in Saturday’s scrimmage. But it was a clear victory for the offense – especially considering Drew Brees was sidelined by an oblique strain. Backup QB Ryan Griffin was particularly impressive...The Saints’ run game was equally productive. And the defense was even flagged for 12 men on the field at one point, which led to some very vocal disappointment from coordinator Rob Ryan. - Mike Triplett

Meanwhile, Saints offensive tackle Zach Strief also compared rookie receiver Brandin Cooks to Colston (from a personality standpoint, not a physical one, since Cooks is 5-10, 189). “He carries himself like a much older player," Strief said. "You talk about a guy you’d like to come in and have an immediate impact, a lot of that is, ‘Is it too big?' Is the scene too big? Is it too big to get a pass from Drew Brees? Is it too fast? He acts like an eight-year vet, he really does. He’s very calm, cool and collected. He’s very Marques Colston-esque, personality-wise. He’s very quiet, just comes to work, all the things you want to see. I don’t know where we keep finding these receivers that don’t talk.”

Good news...

According to the 8 zillion tweets I read today the standouts in todays practice were

Patrick Robinson - YES!!!
Corey White - YES!!!
Raphael Bush
SJB
Galette - business as usual.
Robert Meachem (burned Lewis twice)
Vacarro with back to back stonewalls on Ingram and Robinson

More music to my ears, and it ain't Country Music!

The shocker of the day... Cooks actually dropped a pass. Oh my, he isn't a robot.
