The players were nice, friendly, taking time to sign for people and pictures. 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.

Re: 2014 Saints Training Camp

From your list, JeanPierre, I don't see Tim Flanders making the team. I'm sure he's a serviceable back though. Brandon Coleman is an interesting prospect as is Steve Hull though Hull has a serious uphill battle unless he can be a special team contributor. He did play safety in college so I'm sure he could cover kicks or return em. Gotta love Brandon Coleman's size but does he have good enough hands to be an NFL possession receiver? Toon is probably better than either of these guys. I'm pulling for Ryan Griffin but not overly interested. Stanley Jean Baptiste better be good because Jarvis Landry was on the board when we picked him.

Re: 2014 Saints Training Camp

Some more.

Sorry I dont have any action shots, I dont have a good camera on my phone. Had to borrow a friends to take these. But I will have an amazing camera for the scrimmage on Saturday. Of course, Jimmy and Drew get surrounded like crazy. Guys I am aiming for (besides them two) are Colston, Jahri, Junior, and Kenny. I have the main rest of them.

Drew is looking solid, I am loving Brandon Coleman, Champ is running with the 1sts as of now, Vinnie is getting some nice work in as well, Cadet, Ingram, Flanders, and PT23 all trying to get carries (Ingram looks to be catching the ball more), some wrinkles I have noticed that when I asked certain players about, they say that cant confirm nor deny about 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?

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.

Anyone else making the trek to Greenbriar?!? I can see why it's floundered as a resort - it's in the middle of No Where, West Virginia!!!
