Notes and observations from the New Orleans Saints practice Saturday.

Attendance: T Terron Armstead (PUP), center Max Unger (PUP), TE John Phillips (NFI), OL Senio Kelemete (PUP) and DT Devaroe Lawrence (NFI) did not practice.

Returned to action: CB Damian Swann

Dress code: Pads

Top plays

WR Brandon Coleman continued a strong start to camp by beating CB Marshon Lattimore up the sideline for a touchdown. The play also served as a reminder that there are going to be some growing pains with Lattimore as he continues to settle in.

S Chris Banjo provided a little glimpse into the kind of depth the Saints have at safety by crashing down and breaking up a pass to Garrett Griffin and another to Josh Hill. S Erik Harris came right behind with a nice one on a pass intended for Hill.

WR Willie Snead had a nice win in a one-on-one drill between the cornerbacks and receivers when he broke inside on an in route and created a good amount of separation from cornerback P.J. Williams.

Three up

The ball just seems to find WR Corey Fuller. He caught both of the passes thrown to him during team drills and won both of his reps in one-on-ones, one against De’Vante Harris and another against Delvin Breaux.

DT Justin Zimmer had a nice series when he blew up a Trey Edmunds run in the backfield, and then beat guard Landon Turner for a pressure. DT Mitchell Loewen also flashed a few times and had a sack.

DE Hau’oli Kikaha has looked pretty good so far. His run defense stands out, and he’s had a few good rushes.

watching film on him made me think he is serious. Real Deal. If he is healthy he is going to be a good one

First Day in Pads and look who's first out on the field...

Guys like Peterson and Brees, leading by example, always doing that little thing extra.

Hell yeah Anzalone! Nice play! And awesome to see that aggression!

AD is seriously locked in. If he stays healthy, our opponents are in big trouble. Cam's trying to lighten the atmosphere joking about the humidity and AD doesn't even bat an eye cause he's so focused.

I say the bad doesn't seem that bad. Offense should be getting the best of the defense if not I would say that's a bad. It's encouraging that Rami is Splitting with Okafor this early. He looks to be the real deal.

Even the injury list seems shorter than it was at this point last year. Missing some key players but not as many. I'm really keeping my eye on Remi and Fuller. Like what I hear so far.

How has Peat looked? I read one article that eluded to him taking a step back all of a sudden. I also read more saying he has really improved but nothing specific on how he's been performing since camp started.

Think I heard Brees say "don't hurt him Anzalone" lol! He did let up though so great mix of intensity and awareness.
