Rain and defense poured down on the New Orleans Saints offense throughout the entirety of training camp practice Monday (July 30) in Metairie.
Alex Anzalone kicked off the interception fun in seven-on-seven drills with an interception off Tom Savage. Kurt Coleman became the fortunate recipient of a Drew Brees interception. Brees’ pass slipped through Tommylee Lewis’ hands and into the waiting arms of Coleman from behind Lewis.
Craig Robertson intercepted J.T. Barrett on a checkdown throw in seven-on-seven drills. Robertson hauled in the football with a one-handed backhand catch.



Patrick Robinson nearly intercepted Brees on a throw to Michael Thomas along the sideline. You haven’t heard much about P-Rob this camp, but that’s not a negative.
In another seven-on-seven portion, Marcus Williams closed the gap on Thomas in a hurry by immediately popping Thomas as the ball arrived to break up the pass. A former Saints player turned media member said, “That one had to hurt.”
Demario Davis added to his very good day by intercepting Brees in the monsoon during team drills. Brees’ ball intended for Josh Hill wobbled badly in the downpour, allowing Davis to make the catch.
Nate Stupar ended the defense’s dominance by forcing a fumble on a Terrance West reception in the deluge. Maulet scooped up the loose football much to the jubilation of the defense. Stupar celebrated with a head-first slide into the soaked sideline, where Chris Banjo gave him the baseball safe signal.
On run defense, Tyeler Davison cobbled together two run stops in three plays. He broke through the offensive line to halt Mark Ingram first and Alvin Kamara second. David Onyemata added a good pass rush to play up a Brees pass play shortly before Davison’s first run stop.
Oh, and Cam Jordan added a sack on Brees during team drills.
There’s no denying how well the defense has performed the past few days. And this year, it’s not as much of a surprise.

Defense is looking feisty this year. I like it.

It all comes down to the DLine. If they step up and shine, this defense could be VERY special. Now, if the NFL doesn't completely muck up the game with the new helmet rules and take the defense completely out of the picture, it will be a good season.

It's early but I like what I've seen from the WR group ..specifically Tre'Quan Smith. So far, he's showing out.

I really believe his play will make people forget about us losing Slick Willie Snead.

the defense is showing some really good blanket coverage i havent seen i a while while there was a little holding of some it still has to be noticed, i'm liking it to the 2011 defense that was one of the best.

st thomas

if he can get that .49 to 44-43 i've already forgotten willie which was more a pass catcher than a break free reciever
