@TheSaintsBeat 32s32 seconds ago Metairie, LA

Payton said #Saints 2 kickers have similar resume, performance going back to college ball. Forbath 4-for-4 today, Barth 2-for-4.

Observation for #Saints OTA's Brees would have had 150 yards passing on 5 plays. R.J Harris raised eyebrows with several big catches

Drew Brees was the best player on the field today. RJ Harris did very well. Offense dominated.

Tyrus Thompson was at right tackle... Kelemete at left guard, Lelito at right guard.

Brees talking to media now

RaginCajun83 06-02-2016 12:26 PM

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
Brees: "hit Thomas on a route that they never practiced but talked about, gave him a look to run the route and he ran it the way that I wanted it to be ran"

Holy ****

Brees: Thomas and I are getting a lot of extra reps together after practice. Kid wants to work

ChrisXVI 06-02-2016 12:32 PM

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
I love the fact that they've realized Lelito needs to play right guard. I don't know how Kelemete will do at left guard but Lelito is a mauler at RG.

RaginCajun83 06-02-2016 12:33 PM

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
talked about Grayson's progression, learning from Brees and Luke on how to see the field and read coverages

Rankins had two very nice interior rushes on consecutive plays

Brees: when watching film on Fleener, seems to be wide open all the time. moves well for a guy with big body

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
@Saints
Brees on @JLaurinaitis55 "It's going to be fun going against him in camp" #Saints

‎@nick_underhill
Brees says JL does things that are very clever. Makes good adjustments. Says it's a chess match. "Camp will be fun."

talked about how its a chess match out there and that he did something (game plan so Brees didn't give info) that got the better of Brees

RaginCajun83 06-02-2016 12:37 PM

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
and of course, ended with nothing new on contract talks

St. Nick Fairley ... camp beast. He will show the young guns how it's done in the trenches.

RaginCajun83 06-02-2016 12:56 PM

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
Will have some more updates in a minute. RJ Harris flashed a few times. Fantastic one-handed catch in coverage on a great throw from Grayson

‎@nick_underhill
Thought it was another solid day for Grayson. Noticeably more comfortable than last year at this time. Several good throws.

RaginCajun83 06-02-2016 12:59 PM

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
For most part, #Saints DL had Jordan-Fairley-Jenkins-Kikaha on 1st unit; Onyemata-Rankins-Davison-Gwacham on 2nd. (Edebali was out).

Hats off to RC for the excellent job with the updates!

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
I like what I'm hearing so far, especially that Michael Thomas has been requesting to stay after practice with Brees, that shows his attitude straight away.
You'll get targeted by Brees if you put the work in and he feels comfortable throwing to you.

Great to hear RJ Harris is having a good start to camp, hopefully he can continue it as he kind of disappeared last preseason.

The offense being ahead of the d is not. Good sign our d is improved

RaginCajun83 06-02-2016 04:22 PM

Re: 6/2 OTA's
 
but at this time of year isn't the Offense normally ahead of the D?

Pretty sure our offense would be ahead of any defense right now. Just because our defense is lacking does not mean they are not improved.

because the offense is based off of timing and it takes time and practice for that to develop, it isn't a good sign at all

let's hope it changes when camp hits

That's what makes us a top 5 offense every year, in training camp we are already in mid September form.

I am being serious, Thomas could end up being the best wideout we have ever had. Long way to go, but the kids desire is ridic

I hope you're right...I am not sold on that right now, but it is still very early and DA's first year so I am hoping in camp the D really starts to get some stuff done.

Drew being dialed in is not a surprise, especially considering the contract situation
