Fleur-de-Links Part I: Saturday Sees the Saints Back to Work at Training Camp

PrintToday the Saints will be grindin' back into the two-a-day groove (or Atomic Dog Walk, if you prefer) following the loss to the Patriots Thursday night.
With their first 2010 foray into the post-game process, the team has now had time to reflect, analyze, and discuss exactly what happened in that game. Was there much hollering going on in the film review sessions, or was it pretty matter-of-fact? Too bad we're not the Hard Knocks team this year.
Next up is to work on those areas of need that were brought to light in live game action, check Morstead's MRI film, keep scouring the wire for veteran punters and tailbacks, and decide who will get more playing time (Daniel or Ramsey) once Brees exits the next game vs. the Texans, and much, much more.
Follow the jump to browse last night's late and this morning's early and sparse linkage.
Don't forget to check back later on this evening (before you head out on the town) for news and notes from today's practices.

I vote all of the above, including finding a burger joint.
I was able to watch some of the replay earlier before having to run out and the main thing I noticed at this second glance is that the 1st team O-line looked almost confused at times. They looked less organized than what we’re used to in both their blocking and pass protection. I’m sure that’s because it was the 1st preseason game and they haven’t gelled yet. They will in the next few weeks.

Agreed. It’s amazing when the all pro linemen (should be 4 with Nicks IMO) suddenly forget what it means to block. It was almost like they were too bored to bother out there.

Special teams coverage
I want to be kicking off a whole lot this year. If our coverage doesn’t improve, there may have to be a lot more of them offsides.

oh, and also TACKLING!!! While special teams coverage needs work as well, if they could learn to TACKLE, special teams coverage would improve, right??
