Padded practices kick off true evaluations for New Orleans Saints coaches Bill Johnson, Aaron Kromer
Full Story – Nola.Com
Players wore "pajamas" during the team's organized team activities and minicamps nearly two months ago, according to New Orleans Saints interim coach Joe Vitt.
No pads allowed. No contact permitted. Only jerseys, shorts and helmets. Breathing on someone almost meant contact.
It drove Vitt and the coaching stuff bonkers and made practice and player evaluations more challenging than ever thanks to the new collective bargaining agreement.
"I just don't think you can have a defensive lineman coming off full-speed and an offensive lineman mirroring him, without there being contact," Vitt said on June 1 during organized team activities. "You could probably work somewhat on your footwork and hand placement, but at the end of the day you might create more bad habits than good habits. As long as the playing field is equal, and all the teams are doing the same thing, I've got no problem with that."
