- Players like A.T. Perry and Shaq Davis are doing more in special teams, which is a good sign. Davis said that he played there during his time at SC State.
STARTING LOOKS AND MORE
On offense, the Saints rolled out their familiar offensive line of Trevor Penning, James Hurst, Erik McCoy, Cesar Ruiz, and Ryan Ramczyk. We should fully expect this to be the lineup when the season comes. Subs for Ruiz and Ramczyk were Max Garcia and Storm Norton. For the second team, we saw Lewis Kidd, Andrus Peat, Max Garcia, Nick Saldiveri, and Storm Norton.
TEAM SERIES NO. 1 (CARR 2/2, WINSTON 0/1, HAENER 2/2): Carr's first play was a handoff to Jamaal Williams off the right side to get into the second level. His first passing play was a beautiful hookup to A.T. Perry deep down the right sideline. It was a great throw and catch, with Lonnie Johnson Jr., Tyrann Mathieu, and Marcus Maye being the closest around him. The next play saw Carl Granderson sack Carr after beating Foster Moreau on the block. …
Winston's first play saw him hand to Kendre Miller left for a small gain. One of the things that popped on the play was how quickly Bryan Bresee got into the backfield. He continues to pick up steam. …
Jake Haener completed consecutive passes to start his reps, hitting Darrel Williams underneath after play action to him. He then had a nice hookup off play action rolling to the right to Juwan Johnson. His ability to throw on the run is noticeable. The series and first team period ended with a short Ellis Merriweather run to the left with Jaylon Smith shredding a block to make the stop.
TEAM SERIES NO. 2 (CARR 4/5, WINSTON 2/2, HAENER 1/2): Carr handed inside to Kamara to start the series, which was stopped for a short gain by Pete Werner. He then had a toss left out of shotgun to Jamaal Williams that Carl Granderson blew up for a loss. ….
Winston's first pass was a deep sideline connection to Shaq Davis down the left sideline. It was another great catch for Davis. However, this might have went differently with Jordan Howden getting there on the safety blitz and Lonnie Johnson Jr. having a shot at a pick (see notes on that). …
TEAM SERIES NO. 3 (CARR 1/2, WINSTON 1/2, HAENER 1/1): This is where the Saints went into red zone, which is a familiar setting they've done. Here's the sequencing.
Derek Carr (1/2)
- 15-yard-line: Complete, right sideline short to Foster Moreau (Tyrann Mathieu).
- 7-yard-line: Jamaal Williams inside short. He tried to cut inside, but it didn't work because of 56 (Demario Davis).
- 9-yard-line: Incomplete, end zone post route intended for Juwan Johnson (Tyrann Mathieu). Mathieu played this perfectly and got a hand on it to force a pass breakup. One thing I've noticed in camp is his ability to play strong in the end zone.
- 6-yard-line: Alvin Kamara run left outside short.
- 4-yard-line: Jamaal Williams run left outside for a touchdown.
- 2-yard-line: Alvin Kamara on the flip right (Marcus Maye/D'Marco Jackson). Maye and Jackson made strong plays to keep Kamara out of the end zone.
