All the notes, observations and takeaways from Day 4 of Saints training camp.
-- The Saints have wrapped up their first week of work, as the team will get a day off on Sunday before the pads come on. Saturday's training camp session brought us plenty of action and highlights to discuss, and we'll have all of those notes and observations for you here with some links to some of the plays.The Saints were missing a couple of players from Saturday's practice, for obvious reasons. Marshon Lattimore , Trajan Jeffcoat and Justin Herron were not out there, as expected.
Rotational players in with the first team defense included Jaylan Ford, Roderic Teamer, J.T. Gray, Shemar Jean-Charles, Khristian Boyd, Chase Young and Payton Turner. Kendal Vickers would later jump up to the second team alongside Boyd with Bresee being out. Ugo Amadi got second looks in the slot.Spencer Rattler got the nod above Jake Haener today, and this was easily Rattler's best practice. He looked strong out there. No interceptions today, so that's a good thing.
Nathan Peterman ran just one play for his first series, as it was a run to the left with James Robinson that both Jack Heflin and Kyler Baugh were there for the stop.This was a similar setup to the first team period, but moved up to the opponent's 40-yard-line. Carr's first rep was a miss to Shaheed off play action. The throw was a little low, but Will Harris also was in a good position to defend.
Nathan Peterman had two reps, with his pass hitting Mason Tipton for an intermediate gain up the right sideline. However, the defense got a little revenge from earlier with Lawrence Johnson forcing a fumble and Kool-Aid McKinstry recovering. The other play was an outside run to the left with Kibodi for a short gain.The final series for the offense started from their own 15-yard-line. Carr didn't have as much success here and the offense had to re-huddle at first.
Smyth was also working on directional kicks during kickoff simulations. He had a few go out of bounds to the left, but the goal is to try to get it as close to the sideline as possible to limit the returner's space. He does make his kicks look effortless.
