re: Sean Payton press conference updates

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton has a prototype of what their looking for as a pass rusher. If they look away from prototype, have to make sure the vision is right.

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton likes that he has plenty of LBs and nothing is really in stone given the bodies. Provide good competition.

Ian Rapoport ?@RapSheet
#Saints coach Sean Payton calls the Malcolm Butler situation "an exploratory mission." Sounds like it has hit pause for now (or longer).

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton said he thought the leaper play vs. Denver was a fantastic play and didn't feel like it was a play that should be outlawed.

Nick Underhill ?@nick_underhill
Payton on leaper role: Says his beef wasn’t with the leap. It was that the returner stepped out of bounds.

John DeShazier ?@JohnDeShazier
Payton: I'm for reducing some of the things we ask officials to do

John DeShazier ?@JohnDeShazier
Payton: has no issue with centralized replay

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton said there are still a few "musts" to add this offseason. Visiting with a player tomorrow. Didn't say who.

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton said would like to come out the draft with a young OL. Says it's an outstanding RB class. Of course CB and edge are targets.

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton also Kikaha as being ahead of schedule.

John DeShazier ?@JohnDeShazier
Payton continues to express his like of the incoming RB class

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton also sees Andrus Peat as a LG for now. Works well with his left hand down.

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton has a crystal clear vision for Ginn. Flanker, return skills. "Exact vision."

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton on Warford: "He has mass and arse. Mass and arse kick arse."

Payton on Fleener: It was mixed. He some games where he played well and some where he didn’t, especially early on. … Expects him to improve

New Orleans Saints ?@Saints
Coach said he expects 2016 special teams captain @Michael_Mauti to be healthy by training camp.

John DeShazier ?@JohnDeShazier
Payton: we're gonna acquire more corners. That's gonna happen, either through draft or FA

Larry Holder ?@LarryHolder
Payton simply said Terron Armstead is doing well and he'll be ready to go. Nothing specific outside of that.
