Training Camp / Bills Game - by Bobby Blake

Training Camp review:

The dog days of summer would be an understatement. The New Orleans Saints practice is in full swing at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi. There are alot of superstars as well as there are alot of players fighting to have a shot to make it in the big show. Many of the young stars like Lance Moore a third year player out of Toledo seem to be impressive and to have a great shot at making an impact this fall for the Saints. Reggie Bush seems to have improved tremendously from a year ago. The Saints seem to making a big effort to get him more carries where he can run up the middle and hit the hole hard and use his amazing speed to get through the hole and explode to the second level where he is very hard to bring down in the open field. The Saints are going to mix things up this year, giving Deuce a chance to run to the outside a job primarily done by Reggie Bush last season. Marques Colston seems to be extremely focused this season, always catching passes from whoever will throw to him. Tyler Palko a rookie free agent who was a three year starter at the University of Pittsburgh has been the most impressive rookie so far through camp. First round pick Robert Meachem has been coming back well from off season knee surgery. He is listed as fourth string on the teams depth chart, that seems like it would change as of the next few weeks. This season should shape up to be an exciting one for all the Who Dats out there hopefully this group of extraordinary talent can lead this young team to the promise land.

Comments on Buffalo game:

Tyler Palko he showed poise and toughness staying in a collapsing pocket and still releasing a great pass. He also was not afraid to tuck it and run, he was smart when none was open most of the time he would go to his check down receivers. The other thing would be free agent pick up Jason David he has not showed much at all in the preseason and hopefully he can step up his game so that we can have a solid secondary with him lining up opposite Mike Mckenzie.
