Opening Statement:
“(We had) Just a little different schedule (today) with the morning being spent on scrimmage video and weight room. Tomorrow we will be back into our two-a-days mode with the 8:50 a.m. practice being padded and then the p.m. practice down on the lower field, which is a little bit, more of a walk through.”

Do you have a timetable for Drew Brees to come back?

“We’ll make sure it is something that can’t get aggravated again. When you look at what he does on a daily basis with regards to torquing, throwing the football, we have to be smart. It has calmed down so we will see day-to-day. It is the type of thing though, if you try all of a sudden force it back, you re-aggravate it. We will treat it day-to-day.”

What are you doing with the guys behind Drew Brees?

“We will continue to look at both guys that have been taking reps. From a scrimmage standpoint we will continue to rotate guys. It just means more reps for all three of them.”

What have you seen from Senio Kelemente?

“He’s had a ton of reps and I would say that he has been pretty impressive. Because of the injury up front and we are waiting on (Ben) Grubbs to get back. He knows what to do and I think he’s handled it pretty well. A lot of times you are worried about a big drop off, but to his credit he has handled himself really well. He has to continue on work on finishing blocks and some of those things. I have been encouraged.”

Do you like Jonathan Goodwin at guard?

“He is someone that gives us versatility and he can play center, that’s (been) his position for the last six years. When we got him back in 2006 he was a guard off the Jets squad. We made a little switch just to get some work with (Senio) Kelemente at center. Goodie is one of those guys that is very versatile so I don’t know if that’s something that we are going to tinker with every day. When you get to game days you have to have an interior guy that can play both and an outside swing tackle. That was one of the things we worked on today.”
