Dude. Devastating.

That's what she said...

 

[NeedforSnead]

I think everyone is kind of deflated by the Texans game, stay strong guys! At the end of the day this is still the football team we know and love. Sure we got a helluva work to do but let's hope they can work around these issues.

Rain is coming down at spots on the West Bank.

I bet odds are good the practice gets moved indoors...

Annoyingly.

SI's Andy Beniit has been tweeting his observations from Saints camp:

#Saints notes: Brees arm strength in decline, but can still manipulate safeties w/ nuanced mechanics and eyes.

#Saints notes: fact that Brees gets through his progressions so smoothly also diminishes impact of arm strength decline.

#Saints notes: Sean Payton has best vertically designed passing game in NFL. It primarily attacks between the field numbers.

#Saints notes: another element of Payton’s offense: an expansive screen game, including out of backfield.

#Saints notes: Saints have 2 outstanding RB’s for screens: Ingram (patience+vision), Spiller (agility+perimeter burst).

#Saints notes: don’t be surprised if rookie WR Thomas is near 1000 yds. N.O. scheme makes slot receiver naturally productive.

#Saints notes: not sold on Fleener at TE. Built for this system, yes, but unreliable hands and route running instincts.

#Saints notes: lot to love about WR Cooks. He must take next step and be more consistent when defenses focus heavily on him.

#Saints notes: G and C have always been more important than OT’s because of Brees height and pass game focusing on middle of field.

#Saints notes: shakiest guard situation Brees has ever played behind was last yr. Lot of pressure on Andrus Peat at RG to help rectify it.

#Saints notes: We think of New Orleans as high-powered aerial attack, but they’re at best when balanced by run and heavier personnel.

#Saints notes: DE Jordan very respectable player but not the type of edge-bender you must always slide your protections to.

#Saints notes: DE Jordan at his best on stunts/twists and other scenarios that feature mechanics more than speed.

#Saints notes: LB Anthony will be fascinating study in ’16. Highs and lows as rookie. Improved his awareness as yr went on.

#Saints notes: DC Allen had some of the most complex pressure packages in NFL when he was w/ Raiders. Has the LB’s and S’s to do that here.

#Saints notes: presence of MLB Laurinaitis another reason for Allen to be high volume and complex in scheme. Has a coach on the field

#Saints notes: Best CB casual fans have never heard of: Delvin Breaux. Was sensational in tough man-to-man assignments last year.

#Saints notes: only a matter of time until 2nd round rookie S Bell supplants Byrd. Byrd not instinctive or aggressive.

#Saints notes: Vaccaro at his best looks like future All-Pro. In Yr 4, time for him to be at or near his best more regularly.

[mdharper]

Saints going to pay for cramping in Houston?

Coach! It was the Houston food!

 

[SaintsSupremacy]

What are the chances practice gets moved indoors? Threatening skies...

 

[WhoDat!5]

he's from texas

I think the point was Louisiana is "the great state."

Hopefully tomorrow, would really like to see our entire offense on the field for at lest a few series.
