Silent Brady stands out at joint Patriots-Saints practices

So Payton had a special message: If you decide to fight during practices, as has become a sudden trend during joint sessions across the league, you should pack your bags.

The two teams will work out again Thursday.

As a Saints fan living in Seattle, I’m very familiar with good ol’ Brandon Browner. Once hitting Josh Boyce on a td over 40 yards. “Coleman is a big strong receiver (6’6”) who could compliment the smaller quicker receivers like Brandin Cooks that have already had success on the Saints’ roster. Out right now for me are Nick Toon and Seantavious Jones. Without Graham and Stills, the Saints are likely to return to the “spread-it-around” philosophy, which has made Payton’s offenses so successful in his nine years in New Orleans.

The novelty of the Saints seems to have worn off. Until Wednesday, the crowds have been at best sparse, and the loudest cheers on Wednesday came for the Pats. Other than Cam Jordan, are there any players to watch for?

But Sunseri did grab an interception on the final play of practice. Watson is a solid athlete for the tight end position, can flash playmaking ability and build chemistry with Drew Brees starting this Saturday.

“You’re on high alert”. You get some looks you haven’t seen.

Brees shredded the Patriots’ secondary. “All we can worry about is the opportunity we have to practice against these guys and get better. We don’t want those things to take a backseat to anything else.

– Moss also said that out of being around Brady, Belichick, Gronk, and other superstars, the one that gets him is National Basketball Association Hall-of-Famer Jerry West, who is a resident of The Greenbrier Resort.

Second-year defensive lineman Dominique Easley flashed as a pass rusher on a couple of snaps, and on one of those occasions, he put interior lineman Senio Kalemete on his hindquarters. The Saints have been a moderate to below average line since their last Championship and Peat could be the first step towards revival with some impressive early performances. Brees threw 22 passes in team settings, far more than he has in any practice so far.

A consistently good performer through camp, the third-year wide receiver had an abysmal performance in the exhibition opener against the Packers, snagging just two balls on 11 targets – lowlighted by an easy drop on Brady’s second attempt and another pass that he appeared to give up on too soon, leading to a Garoppolo interception. The play was reminiscent of several plays last season that plagued the Saints’ defense, which finish 31st in the NFL.

With Brady facing a 4-game suspension in the Deflategate controversy, Brees was asked if he could relate to what the Patriots may be going through after the Saints dealt with the bounty scandal.
