I am not concern on why they move training camp, I just want better results than last year. Geuauxxxxxxxx saintsssssssss!!!

Who do you think would have more mental toughness and would be less prone to cramps and dehydration; someone who jogged 5 miles a day mid day in NO or, someone who jogged 5 miles a day over there.

I'm not concerned about it either but I know which one would be in better shape, especially in the 4th quarter.

I always heard hills and elevation improved overall physical conditioning. There is plenty of that there. :confused:

Cam Jordan playing the Jack taking over Junior's role. I guess that solves that.

Cam in Junior's role? That's interesting.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

They are just experimenting.......that is all.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

I feel ya, Beast. Remember,
I'm the one who thinks Training Camp should stay in Jackson, MS.

On the other hand, and for my own need to be positive, a number of great teams have played in comfy weather.

I think the Damn 49ers of the 80s practiced in Northern California.

The Damn Cowboys of the 70s & 80s practiced in Thousand Oaks, CA, which probably was a country club too.

And remember, the Dome Patrol era Saints practiced in Wisconsin Lacrosse.

But I still want Training Camp in MS.

And a preseason game in Shreveport.

Mental toughness can not be taught it something you able to endure or fail, cramps and dehydration is more prone to happen in hot weather (which is here) the negativity about cramps and dehydration mean less snaps on the field. If you're suggesting that being more acclimated to harsh conditions as heat you should consider the teams we will be playing and where


Don't get me wrong I prefer they practice closer to their LOYAL fan base. I want more wins and cohesive play MORE (like I said before another season like last yr mean change of venue instead of juicy fruit)

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

Good point.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

Elevation makes cells more efficient conserving oxygen but it has to be way up there, something like over 7K feet. I don't think they are that high, but it's probably for the best they train in a cooler environment, generally away from the media and other distractions. The medical staff also would not want anything to do with training in La either. I remember when they trained at Southeastern La Univ and stayed at crappy dorms. Times have changed.

there's going to be media.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

Practising in heat is both good and bad for the body.
The good is the fact that it helps keep muscles loose reducing the risk of injury.
The bad is the fact its really easy to get dehydrated which drastically increases the risk for injury. Heat strokes are nothing to play with either.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

I'm getting the feeling from things Payton's said that we're gonna run a lot more of a 4-3 Under. We're practicing lining up Hicks at DE with a Sam LB (Kikaha) lined up next to him.

Get that D fixed!!!!

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

run them into the dirt!
make them hurt and cry from the pain!
show no mercy!

not like they are hitting like in the old days.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

You got that right.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

Anyone notice if there are more injuries now because of these pussified practices? Your body has to get used to taking hits so you don't tighten up and brace when you know you are going to get hit. It's much better to stay loose and let your body absorbe the hit. Kind of like drunk drivers in car wrecks.

Heard on WWL that Armstead left practice and didn't come back

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

Came back for the afternoon session

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

Good.

Re: Live updates from the Saints training camp at The Greenbrier in West Virginia
 

Getting real tired of this Jairus Byrd situation. Everyone said it'll be much better this season because Byrd will be healthy and get to participate in OTA's and training camp. Nope.
