Marshon Lattimore has had a relatively quiet camp so far but he brandished his Defensive Rookie of the Year credentials in the Saints' practice on Monday.

Lattimore locked down Ted Ginn Jr. so thoroughly on his pass route that during 7-on-7 drills that the veteran receiver actually grew frustrated and broke off his route mid-stride.

Fifteen minutes later, Lattimore did it again. Each time quarterback Drew Brees was forced to eat the ball and not deliver a pass.



I'm not sure I've ever seen that happen before, and Lattimore did it twice in one practice.

The second-year cornerback from Ohio State was beaten rather soundly by Michael Thomas for a couple of nice catches later in the practice.

Demario Davis making positive impression

Linebacker Demario Davis has earned praise from Saints Coach Sean Payton throughout camp and his strong preseason continued on Monday. The veteran free agent made a nice break-up of a pass from Brees to Alvin Kamara in the corner of the end zone. You don't see too many linebackers who can stick with the speedy Kamara in coverage, especially 15 yards downfield. Afterward, Kamara complimented Davis' playmaking skills and said the play "just showed his capability." Davis might have the best range of any Saints linebacker since Jon Vilma.
