Training Camp Day 1!
 

Here we go folks! Our first practice of training camp is scheduled to kick off at 8:30 CT!!! Let's post any live updates here.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Jairus Byrd is a full go. I believe this is the first time since he signed with us that he's started training camp fully healthy! Could be a good sign.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Keenan Lewis just observing at the moment. Easing back into it.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Maybe he knows he's on the verge of being cut and didn't report any of his toe nails coming off like he would in previous seasons.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Looks like Gwacham is getting the first-team reps at DE. Edebali is with the 2's.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I really, really like this! I've been very bullish on Robertson's abilities as well.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Now that is something we haven't had from our LB's in recent history.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

PJ Williams getting work with the 1's now in team. We're gonna have a really nice battle between Swann and Williams during camp it looks like.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Craig should be a gamer. He is solid in coverage.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Vonn Bell has just picked off Brees on a deep pass to Cooks!

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I think our secondary can be top notch.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Stupar might suprise also.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I agree, PJ, Vonn Bell are needed badly and Swann staying healthy will be key.

Apparently he closed the gap quickly when the ball was in the air!

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I'm not counting on Swann staying healthy. I wish he could but he's playing Russian roulette with his health. I think Lewis staying healthy goes a long way this season. I also would like to see someone beat out Vaccarro, hopefully Harris. I've never been able to get on the Vaccarro bandwagon, way to many boneheaded plays for me.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I think it's tough with Vacarro, I remember myself saying the same thing about Malcolm Jenkins, then he goes to the Eagles and becomes an all pro.

I still remember that play vs 49ers in 2014 when Vacarro left crabtree completely uncovered 60 yards downfield with 20 seconds left on the clock and we had a 3 point lead.

At the same time, if someone like Harris beats him for the spot then its obviously better for the team.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I'm glad Jenkins is gone, he played like a clown while he was here. He woke up after he left here, he needed to.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

training camp scares the hell outta me . . . VICTOR BUTLER then Hau'oli Kikaha .Last year's draft . . . PLEASE NO INJURIES . .

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

ChrisXVI,

Thanks for those sweet tweet updates from today's Saints camp brother. Highly appreciated :notworthy: !

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Health will be our biggest challenge.

If we can stay healthy this off season we'll be good.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Just a public service announcement: Mentally prepare yourselves for the inevitable news that Byrd has been injured, will "hopefully be able to play 6 weeks in", has another setback, and is finally disposed of by the team.

Of course, you've probably already prepared yourself at some point during the last couple years.

Bills got us on that one...but we'll get them back with the Rob Ryan trojan horse!

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Does this get anybody else as pumped as it gets me??

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Fellow B&G's ... any updates from DAY 2 TC?

Tomorrow should be intense (full pads).

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

j. Byrd should not be with the ones, make that mudda earn his way. spoiled millionaire that needs to give back 10 of the 17 mills

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I didn't have a chance to post updates as they were coming in today, but Underhill and the others should have today's observations out soon and I was gonna make a new thread with that.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

All from Nick in last hour

Swann outside, PJ Williams nickel in skeleton walkthru

Not seeing Tony Carter or Ryker Mathews

Fullington is the new offensive lineman https://t.co/brgbF8xKJP

Thomas with amazing one hand catch deep

Defense forcing a lot of underneath passes in 7 on 7

Swann should have just picked Grayson

Darby got hurt and is being taken off field

Tony Carter also was hurt yesterday.

Ryker Mathews, who is missing today, hurt his knee yesterday. Is being checked out

Fairly with a sack and batted pass within three plays

Payton says Tony Carter was waived injured. Announces Hicks and John Fullerton signings

Breaux on Thomas’ catch: “wow, this dude is going to be something special”

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Just watched the catch on Nola.com, seriously....it's incredible

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Ill look when i get home
High hopes for him

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

I just read that as well on NOLA. Coach Payton & Breaux already giving him praise @ day #2.

Confidence is building. Swagger, hungry ...

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

That's awesome. Thomas might've been a steal in the second round.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

How do you know this? You can't help injuries. He's under contract. He's entitled to that money even if he is injured. You think he took the money then hurt himself on purpose so he can sit back and eat Chee Wees? I bet nobody is as pissed at Byrd as Byrd is.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Pads go on tomorrow!!

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Our second round pick is supposed to make plays like that going against camp bodies. I want to see what he does against Breaux or Lewis. I'll reserve judgement until after he's in the hall of fame.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

The awesomeness of that grab had zero to do with who was covering him.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

One thing has me a little concerned... With Armstead sitting out our supposed right guard is taking all his snaps at left tackle. I think Armstead will be fine but if Peat is going to play right guard I'd kinda like to see him actually getting lots of practice time there.

Re: Training Camp Day 1!
 

Pretty sure Payton knows what to do. You should send him an email with your instructions just in case though.
