Saints Training Camp Fleur-De-Links: Sunday, August 14

strictly because of the flex and the sweet tats

…how else should one evaluate the preseason?

on the main page. It’s not even about football, either.

I am always amazed at how a lot of players have minimal padding. I know it’s because of speed and agility reasons, but could it contribute to the # of injuries in the NFL?

Seven tackles, two for losses a sack and 3 QB hurries (thanks Times Picayune). At a position needing improvement, I liked what i saw. Keep it up Jonathan!

Have you ever seen more gray hair on a guy than Roman Harper? Also, any word on how serious Johnny Patrick’s injury was? It didn’t look real bad, but he was carted away tp the locker room.

The defense was awesome as a unit and I see why they cut LB Clark but the team that scores the most points win which is why I voted for Chase Daniel. His poise was suprisingly like that of a 5-7 yr vet and his ability to move in the pocket and throw bullseyes made me think he was Brees of a couple of years ago. Yeah it was the 1st “preseason” game but considering Brees and alot of his teammates were one of the first teams in an organized “camp” during the lockout, he seem easily rattled. A few plays you can tell that particular play was designed for the “deep route”, but when rushed he was almost like a rookie and instead of throwing the short pass to the wide open RB 3-5 yds away, by this time the defensive man is in his face and he throws short(almost intercepted) balls that fall short to the WR 10+ yds down field. C’mon Brees you’re scaring me a little… Maybe you miss Colston and Bush(Miami) but Chase Daniel didn’t mind having those recievers so……. I don’t know….. I think beginning w/Packers, teams are going to send blitzers from all over and rattle Brees like Browns, Ariz and others did last year and hopefully the results are different/better. LETS GO BREES…. SNAP OUT OF IT AND GET THIS TROPHY…….AGAIN!!!

Does Shawne Merriman really play for the Bills???

When did that happen?

:-O

solely based on his awesome mama’s boy tat.

Gregg Williams had the entire defense ready! He had the players in the right spots. He gets my game ball. I expect Joe Morgan needs more offensive production to be considered for a team spot. But a great start for Joe Morgan!

Harper, Smith, King, Bell, Morgan,Casillas, Patrick, Roby and a few others, but the ones that really did good as far as staying on the team for at least another week were, King, Bell,Roby and Morgan.

but was much impressed with King, Joique Bell, Joe Morgan(although he did drop that pass) and several others on defense. Wish I could remember all the defensive players that made plays and that says it all doesn’t it.

He was flying around out there. Great to see

Casillas was all over the place making plays, so was Johnny Patrick.

Daniel looked pretty good at QB.

Loved the D line play… lots of plays where I said, “Awesome! Who was that guy?”

(I need a to print out a list of players and their numbers to help me keep up.)
