Dress code: Shorts and shells
Attendance: DE Alex Okafor, TE Michael Hoomanawanui, S Rickey Jefferson (torn ACL), CB Arthur Maulet and WR Keith Kirkwood were not at practice. CB P.J. Williams (ribs) worked out on the side.
Returned: G Andrus Peat
Top form: Marshon Lattimore reminded why he is one of the best cornerbacks in the league during Sunday’s practice. The cornerback intercepted a pass down the sideline intended for Ted Ginn Jr., then on the next snap nearly ripped a pass away from Michael Thomas. It looked like Lattimore might have taken the ball away as they went to the ground, but Sean Payton said he thought Thomas was down by contact, though he added that he didn’t get a great look at the play. But there was no question when Lattimore jumped another Drew Brees pass intended for Tre’Quan Smith for his second interception of the day to end a two-minute drill.
Bad splits: The Saints are still working on getting everyone lined up correctly on offense. When New Orleans was walking through some Hail Mary scenarios, Ginn had to be reminded to line up tighter to the formation. Payton let it be known after the Arizona game that he was not pleased with how the wide receivers have been performing and said they have been messing up too many details. Correcting it appears to be an ongoing process.
