Transcript of Coach Sean Payton's Tuesday press conference
 

Anything you can say about how Mr. Benson is doing?

“I think this is the second time (it happened). A lot of times usually it is dehydration. I am not really sure not having been over there when they took him away. I’m sure they will get him the right care. He is someone who we stay on top of. His energy being here has been fantastic. I don’t think it is any news of note right now.”

It doesn’t appear serious?

“Not that I am aware of.”

Is Drew Brees going to play in the first preseason game?

“I think, like I said yesterday and the day before, we are just going to take it day-by-day. We are not going to try to on Tuesday. We are going to see where he is at. We are going to be smart though.”

Would it be a part of being smart to not play him?

“We will just see where he is at tomorrow though, each day.”

Can you talk about how you are playing against Gregg Williams?

“It’s not a big topic though. Our players are playing a preseason game. We are trying to get the right guys evaluated. It is not even a big deal at all. What’s important is just getting our guys ready to know what they’re doing, putting their best foot forward and playing well. It’s about the players and us preparing (for the Rams). I don’t see it being a big deal.”

What is it about the situation that allows you to treat it that way?

“Respectfully there’s just a lot of work we have to do and from a priority standpoint there’s so much that training camp involves with preparation, (and) getting our guys ready to play (games). It’s such a faraway topic. It is not a big deal. Our job is to make sure that we get our guys ready for the first preseason game. It’s pretty simple.”

Are they ready to hit somebody else besides your own team?

“I think you always get to a point in training camp where you are ready for a different look, ready for different players, but again, I think the important thing for us is that we have another practice, walkthrough tonight and then another walkthrough tomorrow that is really Saints on Saints. Then we kind of shift our gears on Thursday.”

Coach is not giving any info to the press. This is just another thing he learned from Parcells. He talks and talks while not saying anything. :bng:
