Unger better be back.

Heat, physical workout take toll on players
David Onyemata getting an opportunity to make an impact
Marshon Lattimore finding his way at cornerback
Alex Anzalone pushing Stephone Anthony at weak-side linebacker
Pass rush remains a question mark
Jordan, Kenny Vaccaro displaying leadership

We won't know much about this team until we see them against other teams in preseason and even then we won't know much until it counts. Talk with me week 4 or 5. That said we have some play makers and I'd say we have more talent than the last few years. Oline is a possible strength and hopefully Unger is back sooner than later.

Read Duncan said we are not getting much disruption and pressure minus Cam Jordan, only day 4 but that's not going to get it done.

I always say by week 4 you have what you are going to have. If a team doesn't have an identity by then, they won't have much of one. By week four you should know your teams potential.
I think that's when we will get a good read as to weather or not Payton will be back.

May even be longer than that to get a full accounting due to the tough opening schedule. At minimum the Saints need to come out the gate 2-2 with no NFC losses. Of course 4-0 would be great. But looking at the schedule it may be the end of November before we really know what the team is going to be about.

6 takeaways from the defense at Saints camp | NOLA.com

Some other odds and ends: Typical rookie day for Marcus Williams at free safety. A couple of bad angles and got blown up in special teams drills by running back Trey Edmunds.

...Two eye-catchers on the reserve defense were linebacker Adam Bighill and defensive lineman Mitchell Loewen....

Loewen is a bit of a ‘tweener at 6-5, 275, but he makes plays. One to watch...

...Ken Crawley... had a nice interception of Garrett Grayson during 7-on-7 drills and also had a nice PBU against Corey Fuller...

...Some communication issues led to a couple of blown assignments and big plays for the offense during teams drills. Linebacker A.J. Klein said the unit obviously needs to clean up the miscues but said that's what these early workouts are for, saying the tape from the workout would be a good learning experience for the defense...

...Not a defensive observation, but Thomas Gafford didn't help himself in the long snapper competition by sailing a ball over the head of punter Thomas Morstead and out of the back of the end zone. Yikes!

... Speaking of special teams, looks like Alvin Kamara will get the first crack at kickoff return duties.

WR Coleman looks to be making the leap in his third NFL Season with Curtis Johnson now coaching WRs...

jeanpierre · 07-30-2017, 05:24 PM

Can't help but think that Coleman could actually shake things up at No. 2 and No. 3 if he keeps flashing plays like he has...

That comment made by Payton last year late in camp about being pedestrian...

Coupled with CJ back in the fold as our WR coach really has this guy surging in Training Camp...

Here's what I can't understand- how as a d do you cover fuller, coleman, thomas, snead, and kamara. Good luck
