Veteran defensive lineman Darryl Tapp joins Saints as coaching intern
 

Tapp was at practice Friday, and coach Sean Payton said the 33-year-old is around to work as a coaching intern. Tapp played for the Saints in 2016 and was with the team for training camp this year.

Wow that’s pretty cool! I like that Payton is so open to giving his guys opportunities to get their feet wet in the coaching world. I think Leigh Torrence is an assistant coach now in some capacity and before his death Will Smith was going to help coach the D-Line.

And the fact that Kuhn was acting like a coach while he was on IR.

Payton is good enough to realize you take good ideas from anyone.

Except when he takes bad ideas from friends of his who were on the staff for years
