That'd be huge...

I tend to agree. We haven't had a kickoff return TD since October 2009. That has to be the longest drought in the league. Jalen Saunders definitely gave us some excitement.

Wonder why Jalen Saunders isn't getting the love?!?

Young defensive linemen

Kevin Williams and John Jenkins look to be the starters for now. Of course, Akiem Hicks and Cam Jordan as well. But there’s been a lot to like from younger players such as Kasim Edebali and Bobby Richardson. Edebali looks improved along the edge, while Richardson has performed well at tackle and end.

Terron Armstead
The third-year left tackle has been dominant in individual drills and the team portions of practices. His large frame (6-5, 305) and athleticism has given defenders fits. Armstead hasn’t given an inch nearly all camp. He left practice with an unspecified injury Monday, though.

Stephone Anthony
The injury to Dannell Ellerbe pushed Anthony into the starting lineup sooner, but it was only a matter of time for the middle linebacker. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan said the best thing about the Saints putting on the pads was that everyone in attendance could hear Anthony, who brings a pop whenever he tackles a ball carrier.

Brandon Coleman

A year ago, he would have been in the five negatives category. Those days seem to be over. The 6-foot-6 wide receiver is quickly becoming a favorite target for Saints quarterbacks. Plus we caught a glimpse Monday of what we will probably see in the regular season with Coleman, Brandin Cooks and Marques Colston as the main wideouts.

Akiem Hicks

The leaner, healthier Saints defensive lineman has looked great through five days after missing just about all of the early summer workouts in Metairie. He’s been a force in individual drills and a force in team drills, using his strength to bully through the offensive line for sacks.

Injury, Coach Payton will not disclose until league rules compel him to do so...
