wwltvsportsArmy Nat'l Gd., Jon Gruden, Juan Kincaid all take in practice at Saints Facility. Bush practices full, Colston big grabs, 2-min drill in


jeffduncantp:Just talked to Gruden. Very high on Saints. JG: "I really think that with the additions that they’ve made that they have a real chance. "

jeffduncantp:Gruden on Saints: "They’ve added some pieces this year to their team that I think are going to make them real hard to deal with."


jeffduncantp:Prax update: Mike Bell bruised hip. Will be evaluated. No other injuries to report

Jonathon Casillas had a good run stuff against Pj Hill
Play of the day, Brees to Meachem 50 yards... Great throw by Brees, woulda been a 70 yard TD

2 minute drill
Grant knocked ball out of brees hands (fumble)
colston had a tough drop

Porter had good coverage on henderson but henderson catches it
brees hit bush with a first down
Offense had edge in passing game, but D did step up in run game

*Also noted that u can see that connection with Brees and Shockey really getting strong now that Shockey's healthy and they're puttin time together
