Can live stream through the team website

@Kat_Terrell: Payton said there was no secret about Jimmy Graham's injury. Said it obviously affected him, doesn't know how much it hurt him though.

@SeanFazende: Payton: somewhere in the middle between an overhaul and a few small tweaks to get back

@MikeTriplett: #Saints Payton said you have to weigh whether you're making changes just to change -- or what really matters. Referenced training camp as one of those decisions that shouldn't matter as long as you're taking tough, smart approach.

@MikeTriplett: #Saints Payton declines to answer a question about Rob Ryan because he said today's not the day. But said nothing should be read into that.

@MikeTriplett: #Saints Sean Payton said DB coach Wesley McGriff hasn't left staff and is unaware if he's planning to leave. Said they would talk first.

@LarryHolder: Payton said Jairus Byrd will make a full recovery from his knee injury earlier this season. Recovery is going well.

It's pretty standard, straight forward.

I do agree that people blaming the location of training camp on this year's performance are just people looking to place blame on something.

Acting like we beat Tampa instead of them laying down is all I needed to hear

Nah Payton, Jimmy is a soft a-hole and the injury was overblown

Bye Evans, Hawthorne, Bunkley, and maybe Grubbs

We need change at the interior OL

He's staying

Ugh, if Graham is so injured he's going to the hospital every week and he can't raise his arm, maybe fricking sit him.

This. I get that the last 2 years he couldn't further the injury, but I have a hard time believing 2-4 weeks wouldn't have improved his situation. The guy I talked to about it yesterday said his pain level was much higher at the end of the season than when the injury first happened

Unfortunately, your logic doesn't add up. What does the cost have anything to do with sjtting him? We don't save that money

Is Payton that out of touch that he doesn't know one of his coaches are leaving? Dude is gone and I can honestly say that I'm not upset. Secondary was a shite show outside of Lewis.

Has he had his exit meeting yet?

Could also be a contract thing. Saints may need to release him from his obligations.

There's a variety of solutions that doesn't mean that Payton is out of touch.

I guarantee that he's more aware than you.

I would hope so. Hopefully he's just playing it close to the vest.

Agreed, but I think it's one of those things that everyone is hurt at the end of the season and we were trying to reach the playoffs.

That being said, I have no clue why he played yesterday if that's the case.
