by Hans Petersen on Aug 7, 2010 10:00 AM CDT in 2010 New Orleans Saints Training Camp

It's Saturday morning for at least another hour or so EST, and HansDat is here to give Satch a bit of a well-deserved break. Here's a short collection of Saturday morning links on the Saints and beyond. I'll be back later this afternoon with the links from the B&G scrimmage, and then again for the HOF Induction Open Thread tonight. Stay Black and Gold, Pony Boy, Stay Black and Gold.

The scrimmage begins at 11 a.m. (CST, of course) at Saints facility on Airline Drive.

New Orleans Saints young linebackers are turning the coaches' heads | NOLA.com
Tracy Porter returned to practice after missing with back spasms. Maybe he got the back spasms from turning his head while in coverage to watch those Awesome Young LBs mentioned above...

New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey is trying to shake off the rust | NOLA.com
He is battling Chase Daniel for the backup position. I'm never sure if you're supposed to shake off the rust, or knock it off. Maybe this article will elucidate us on the proper procedure.

Sean Payton and the players need to focus on the upcoming season and defending the title but I don’t.

Record to watch later!

Not that I’m not a true fan of Rickey’s, but I normally work midnight to 8 and have had to work the last 2 days 8 to 8. So I will probably be sleeping.

I wonder what the odds are that Ricky is the only one not to cry?
