After sitting in my car in the parking lot waiting out the rain, it turned out to be a great day at practice. Here are my photos...


Drew trots out, and the crowd goes wild


Harper and Jenkins


Drew under center for the first time in pads

Stretches. Sorry ladies, the crane was blocking my view of Drew.

Cam Jordan is one funny dude, always smilin and laughin'. As long as he brings the pain when the ball in snapped.

Joe Vitt


Hartley and Morstead (who couldn't be more different physically)


Hartley


PT juking Hawthorne out of his cleats


Chase Daniel calling signals, with Carmichael and Drew looking on


Chase with one of several nice scrambles today


Johnny Patrick with a nice bat-down against Lance. JP had a great day.


Colston taking in a LASER from Brees. Seriously, this throw was in the air for about 4.5 nanoseconds.


Jabari picking off Drew in front of Jed Collins


Higgins making a nice grab with Quddus defending

Nice pics, what kind of camera do you use?

[perret318]

The Gatorade cart tipped over. Drew came over to help pick everything up.


Vitt talking to Lance


Spags: "Come on, man!"


Sproles, as usual, leaving the defense in his wake. Super Smurf looks as ridiculously quick as ever.


Find a guy who enjoys his job more than this guy. I dare you.


Harper, Jenkins, and Panama Jack


Vitt addressing the troops at the end of practice

Signing time!


Jabari


Big Will

any idea why it's offense v offense in that first shot

edit: also aren't all players supposed to have full pads/leg - thigh knee pads?
is that only on game day?

Ivory


Sean Canfield


Jahri Evans


Drew being mobbed as usual


The best TE in the NFL

The greatest QB in the NFL

That's all, folks! Hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Thanks! Canon 40D, and these were all with the 75-200mm f/4L.

Lofton looks like he could tackle a redwood tree.
Thanks for the pictures, when Payton said "Do your Job" you took it seriously, much appreciation from the out-of-town,off island crowd.

Glad to be of service. I lived in Dallas for 10 years, and I lived on the training camp reports from the locals back home. Now that I'm back, it's a privilege to be able to do the same for you guys.

And I WISH this was my job. Just a hobby for now, but who knows...

It was just the first drills of the day, just run-throughs with the offense. The defense was doing the same. As far as pads, most were in full pads - it was full-go today.

Nice, I too use a Canon and have a 75-200mm lens. I'm hoping to make it to practice tomorrow. Tried on Thursday but obviously it rained.

Not only great pictures, but much appreciated explanation.

Thank you!
