Early reports out of the Saint's 1st practice at training camp are all good. Signing of Colston to extension, to say the least, was a great start. As well as those players coming off injuries of last season..
Duece some 9 lbs. lighter than 2 years ago (coming back from 1st knee injury) participated in every drill. Shockey wearing # 88 showed no signs of being bothered by his fractured fibula and every catch he made drew cheers from fans. Even Mike McKenzie came out (with knee brace but no pads - on physically unable to perform list) and looked "mobile" as he went thru some paces. Payton says Mike is "day to day" .
Still no Sedrick Ellis or Tracy Porter sighting yet. My guess is maybe next week for Ellis as he is waiting for the Dorsey deal to be done in Kansas City. I'm hoping Porter though, will get signed on on the field sooner as of the two, It is more important for Tracy to get reps to be productive this season for the Saints.
Well, It is here.. Football season.. and not a minute too soon.
