Really insightful stuff from

offensive line assistant coach Zach Strief about how the coaches are managing OT Trevor Penning in his first camp.

depth on defense this year has undoubtedly carried them into the postseason. I'd go as far to say that this team as a whole has rewritten the script for "next man up mentality"

His story:
Jimmy Graham is in fact, that dude. Jameis Winston got him the ball in space and it took two defenders to slow him down. Graham knocked Troy Pride over. Little chirpiness back and forth after the play between those two.

are bringing in RB Jordan Howard tomorrow for a tryout, per source.
Howard spent last season with the Eagles. He was drafted in 2016 by the Bears.
For those looking for a message of hope, here you go. A month ago my dad didn’t know if he would walk again after a freak accident. Today he took his first steps. God always provides a way 🤍
When asked about the weight of the

playbook, Jarvis Landry says this is the “hardest offense of my whole career.” Later went in detail about how Jameis Winston has brought him up to speed.
Sean Payton met with Kwon Alexander this morning for the first time since joining the

Best thing I saw from OTAs day one (unfortunately no video): Chris Olave went up and caught a deep pass from Derek Carr with Marcus Maye in coverage. Good moment for Olave after spending the offseason working on contested catches

Wow, Drew Brees really was the reason why Bennie Fowler is with the

During their workout in Denver, Drew asked him if he was with a team and when he said no, Drew said he's going to call the guys (Saints coaches).
CRAZY!

Now we wait.
Cam Jordan & Michael Thomas weigh in on the in-game brawl

Seemed pretty clear to me that Leonard Fournette pushed Marshon Lattimore first. Lattimore pushed back, then Mike Evans came out of no where with a hit on Lattimore. Evans and Lattimore were both ejected.
It’s not the first time that we’ve heard that AU defensive coordinator is a “player’s coach” but to hear it from guys like Deshaun Davis, Derrick Brown, and Darrell Williams in such raw fashion speaks volumes.

recently added CB Janoris Jenkins to the roster. Marshon Lattimore said he grew up watching Jenkins.

"I'm locked in baby. I'm locked in" - Jenkins after being asked if the Saints are getting him at his most motivated given the circumstances.

My heart is shattered as we continue to walk through Arabi. A man from Tennessee who lives here was able to grab his 5-yr old son as his home was completely ravaged and keep both safe. Amazing. If you’re the praying type, please send prayers to the people in New Orleans.
Paul Skenes goes No. 1 overall. The first LSU Tiger since Ben McDonald to be the first pick in the

LaPlace native Jarius Monroe transferred to

after two seasons at Nicholls. He knew he'd have to compete for a starting spot. Late in the season he stepped in for Jadon Canady and has locked it down at CB (recording an INT today)
What this means to him 👇

How cool is this fact? Jake Haener wore No. 9 growing up because he was a huge Drew Brees &

LB Andrew Dowell has commonly been known as a camp standout over the last few years.
He shares why he stays late after practice to meet with fans.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire made sure to be in Baton Rouge Saturday for Ed Orgeron's final game as the HC at

Also, Joe Foucha will be meeting with Brian Kelly for the first time today at

Good news to report from
#Saints
practice regarding QB Derek Carr. He looked like he would in a normal Friday practice. Involved in warmups, ROA & red zone leading the way as QB1. Didn’t see any real limitations with his throwing arm. Seems like he’s trending toward playing Sun.
This is about as bad as it gets. Slew of injuries. No offense. Only FGs keeping the
#Saints
in it.
Outside of that…Tyrann Mathieu and Alvin Kamara have had a good day
Looks like Derek Carr had Michael Thomas wide open from the TV screen in Houston (parents house) on that 3rd and 7 play.

up 17-0 at halftime in GB
Marshon Lattimore is not in 7v7 or team. He’s standing off to the side. His left leg is heavily wrapped.
