Don't forget kickoff rules have changed. So will the personnel.

Don't forget we have a 90 man roster and just lost one WR (Dural) to injury. It only makes sense that we bring in another. You can't run drills without enough bodies at each position. Someone stated we have "five receivers" and they couldn't understand why we would need more. We actually have ten receivers, including Coleman still on PUP, before Floyd. That's about right for training camp.

Due diligence signings.

Maybe Coleman’s injury is worse than we thought?

Or maybe there was an opening on the 90 man roster because Dural was placed on IR and it has NOTHING to do with Coleman. What happened to your new found positive attitude for this season?

Training Camp.

Training Camp players...

If they dont work, no big deal.

If they work - the staff looks like geniuses!

I think Brandon Tate actually has a better shot at making the roster than Michael Floyd thanks to the kick return experience.

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.
