Saints Training Camp: Oxnard Day Five Recap

The Saints practice is over. And with practice over, training camp is also offically over for 2011. Come next week, the Saints will begin regular practice periods.

In links picked up today, I found one that might stir debate up. Drew Brees says that people need a lot of patience if they expect Tim Tebow to change his old ways. Is Brees right? Who knows, I'm not a talent evaluator but the guy who drafted Tebow early got fired (though not for that move). Just thought it was an interesting pickup.

In another link, I saw that Darren Sharper says he may be returning to the Saints soon. Is he right? The Saints are desperate for some safety depth, even if that safety isn't good anymore. We won't find out until after the Saints get back from Oakland though.

That's all for the preview! You'll have to make the jump to see the rest.

TWEETS:
New Orleans Saints
Great pic RT Getting the ready. That's in red. I'm wearing the stylish helmet

Mike Triplett
If anything, Sproles may be a better pass protector or equal. He's tough for a little guy, and that wasn't Bush's greatest strength.

New Orleans Saints
About to start our last practice here in Oxnard - thanks for all the fans who came out to watch!

Mike Triplett
As expected, Jonathon Amaya lining up at SS in place of Roman Harper for today. ...

James Varney
Sedrick Ellis out of practice today. Mitch King taking his place with the 1s

Mike Triplett
I think would like him to emerge as a trusted No. 3 option at safety. If not they may indeed consider bringing Sharper back.

WWL-TV Sports
nation rejoices! RT : Saints DE Junior Galette back at practice today

Mike Triplett
DT Sedrick Ellis also appears to be sitting this practice out after being limited yesterday. Wonder if they may hold him out Sunday too.

Mike Triplett
using three corners and one safety in certain look we don't see often. Patrick Robinson replaced Amaya.

Today we have the most 'friends of team ' folks, guess cause its last day. Kinda quiet tho, in punt drill

Bad then good for Brees. He threw one up incomplete toward Arlington then nailed Graham with fade route in corner of end zone.

Mike Triplett
Charles Brown the extra o lineman in goal line. He's eligible!!

Kevin Spain
Back to back td passes to d. Thomas & graham

Kevin Spain
Devery td catch ends 1st offense drill ... now 1st d in against scout team. Jenkins gets pick as it starts

Mike Triplett
Malcolm Jenkins snags easy pick from Chase Daniel, who threw to the wrong spot.

James Varney
Chase Daniel has had a very solid camp but he's a bit sloppy today

Jeff Duncan
look like they will use Darren Sproles, Montez Billings, Quincy Butler and Andy Tanner on punt returns vs. OAK (no Moore, Morgan).

Kevin Spain
Looks like that'll wrap it up 4 . Btw, its getting cold ( but im not complaining)

James Varney
Waiting for Godo - sorry, Gregg Williams

Kevin Spain
Brees: feel like we got good work here this week. ... point was to finish our install

Jeff Duncan
Favorite quote of post-practice: : "You seem a little tense." Gregg Williams: "I'm tense because you're asking stupid questions."
