Coach Payton Announced New Addition to Ring of Honor
Saints add Morten Andersen to ring of honor http://t.co/KOnlwhevMi
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) August 3, 2015
Morten on N.O.: For me it was the sense of community. Saints games were like a religious experience. It was God, family and Saints.
— WWL-TV Sports (@wwltvsports) August 3, 2015
Great line from Morten Andersen on advice to young kickers: Keep aiming for the middle because the middle never changes. #Saints
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Morten Andersen says "emotions flood over you," makes him remember all the great friendships he had with #Saints
— Evan Woodbery (@TheSaintsBeat) August 3, 2015
#Saints Sean Payron said its a "fact" Andersen will get into Pro Football Hall of Fame one day soon.

Sean Payton said it's important for #Saints to keep Ring of Honor exclusive, hard to get into. Won't induct someone every year.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Payton : wanted Saints ring of honor to be tough to get in. May not have a new member every year. This year Morten Anderson will be honored

"It's not the years, Honey. It's the mileage"
Marques Colston said he and the Saints are just trying to keep track of his mileage during camp. That's why his reps are limited.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
No specifics from #Saints Marques Colston on what was ailing him this summer. Said just easing into camp, did some 7on7 today, ramping up
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015

Payton remains tight-lipped on the status of players
No explanation from #Saints Sean Payton on why LT Terron Armstead left practice early
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
No update on Armstead. I opened my mouth to ask Byrd question and Payton switched gears to talk about Saints Ring of Honor
— Katherine Terrell (@Kat_Terrell) August 3, 2015
#Saints LT Terron Armstead not on practice field anymore. No one seems to have spotted him leaving field so can't speculate why.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Bryce Harris snaps in place of Armstead for final three plays with ones. Not sure what happened with Armstead.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
Really concerned about Jairus Byrd not practicing. Durability was his big knock in Buffalo too.
— Saints Nation Blog (@SaintsNationBlg) August 3, 2015

Topics Payton chose to talk about
#Saints sit down as a staff to talk about progress of each player every 3, 4 days. Lasted until 11:45 last night.
— Evan Woodbery (@TheSaintsBeat) August 3, 2015
Sean Payton said #Saints like what they've seen so far from vets Tim Hightower, Kenny Phillips. Got good evals in roster review last night.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Payton : Stephone Anthony has a physical presence out there. good instincts
— WWL Radio (@WWLAMFM) August 3, 2015
Sean Payton : Joe Morgan had good practice this morning. moving well and not afraid to block
— WWL Radio (@WWLAMFM) August 3, 2015
Officials will be at Saints camp Wednesday.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
interesting, #Saints Sean Payton said notes from a year ago showed practice wasn't real good before first day off. made it focal point today

Rookie Roundup
Andrus Peat : Strief been a big help. I'm a young guy finding my way and he's been great pic.twitter.com/pProRMcaL1
— WWL Radio (@WWLAMFM) August 3, 2015
Peat : has only been working at right tackle but ready to step in anywhere
— WWL Radio (@WWLAMFM) August 3, 2015
Payton on Peat: "We like him a lot. ... He's going to continue to improve."
— Evan Woodbery (@TheSaintsBeat) August 3, 2015
Ingalls says Peat showed up in poor shape. Is in better shape now
Stephone Anthony: I take pride in being vocal in the huddle. You always need a strong leader. pic.twitter.com/FBtelqrxDw
Stephone Anthony just crammed every cliche into one sentence and laughed. Taking it one day at a time. One play at a time. Focusing. Etc.

Play by Play
Coleman just burned the entire saints d for a 75-yard td
— Lyons Yellin WWL-TV (@LyonsYellin) August 3, 2015
Looks like an early wrap for #Saints today. Players running striders now.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
#Saints Cam Jordan gets in for sack around defenses left side in team
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Hard to lose Coleman. But Griffin hit him on a crossing route with no one around. Coleman took off for a long TD scamper.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
Tim Hightower taking first snaps in 3 WR sets with ones.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
A look at this morning's practice (VIDEO) http://t.co/4MTJQ5RMn5 #SaintsCamp pic.twitter.com/Lzd666vmrz
— New Orleans Saints (@Saints) August 3, 2015
Two highlights from #Saints 7-on-7 passing drills: INT for Stanley Jean-Baptiste and great catch by Brandon Coleman
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Cam Jordan vs. Bryce Harris. Harris predictably lost. John Jenkins, Lelito had issues in 1 on 1s
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
Lots to like from Hicks, Bobby Richardson, Edebali, Unger in 1 on 1s today. Kikaha had one good rush. Peat Jahri Evans struggling again.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
Nice grab by @BrandinCooks! #SaintsCamp pic.twitter.com/IB2xYFsHNs
— New Orleans Saints (@Saints) August 3, 2015
Leg strength isn't everything but #Saints K Dustin Hopkins has the edge in thait department. Booms it.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
#Saints Dustin Hopkins 4-for-4, Zach Hocker 3-for-4 on field goals. Hocker wide left from estimated 45 yards.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Luke McCown is looking very sharp today. Just zipped another laser to Joe Morgan in tight space for big gain. #SaintsCamp
— Sean Kelley (@SeanKelleyLive) August 3, 2015
#Saints RB Khiry Robinson has had a lot of nice, hard runs in camp.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Rare dropped pass for #Saints WR Brandon Coleman in team. Failed to hang on to low one earlier too. Just as my feature on him about to post.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Bobby Richardson also seeing time with ones in nickel.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 3, 2015
Looks like camp standouts Bobby Richardson, Kasim Edebali will get some work with starting dime unit
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) August 3, 2015
Willie Snead just shook Kyle Wilson out of his shoes on a stop and go route. Brees hit him and Wilson was at least 5 yards in the dust.
