Listening at Sean's post practice presser from a couple of days ago ... doesn't sound too pleased with the progress of the kick return/punt dept. We shall see.

Definitely something to keep an eye on in upcoming pre season games ... starting next week.

That wasn't the take I got from Payton's interview on NFL Network with Andrew Siciliano and Ladainian Tomlinson. He said his "Bachelor" comparison had everyone still in the running for return jobs (everyone got a rose). Nobody had done anything to be eliminated. I just listened to his live interview a few minutes ago with Bruce Murray and Phil Savage on their visit to Saints training camp and he said the same thing.

It isn't that he's not pleased with the return game, it's that it's difficult to pick the right returner(s) with so many good choices.

If they are so good then why did he say Kamara was also not off the table as an option. Not many teams have their RB1 doing it. Kinda stupid to be honest but when WR's are muffing them like like last year you do what must be done.

I heard a couple of days ago there hasn't been a mishandled catch. And Kamara will be in play regardless of who wins the regular duties. If the Saints are in a situation where they need a huge special teams play he could very well be placed in there. In preparation for that event he'll need to practice as well as any other regular returner.
