New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen touched on several key elements of Saints training camp in his first presser before trianing camp kicks off.
As he spoke, he touched on several key elements of Saints training camp including expectations around running back Alvin Kamara's involvement as he navigates a contract dispute with the team, newly-acquired defensive end Chase Young who is recovering from an offseason neck procedure and spoke on the team not having Southern California-based fans in attendance during their practice."I expect Alvin to be out ," Allen said quickly when asked about the star running back.
Allen added that the team does not expect Kamara to sit out of major portions of practices at this time.Things look to be trending in the right direction for Young as he recovers from his offseason neck procedure. "Chase Young will participate in some form of practice tomorrow," he said. Excellent news for the Saints and the biggest free agency addition in terms of name recognition.
"I'm excited about waht we can accomplish," he said. "I think when you get into this type of environment, one of the things I think it allows you to do is that it allows you to push the guys harder for longer. There's nothing easy about training camp." Allen also noted the diminishing returns that come from practicing in the harsh summer weather of the New Orleans area, which can potentially limit how much a team can go all out during training camp.
Such a notion was discussed at an earlier press conference with team president Dennis Lauscha. He had expressed at the time that he was not aware of such an issue wherein the NFL would have rules about fans of out-of-market teams being in attendance at training camps that are happening in competing areas.
However, recent reports reveal that the Saints and Las Vegas Raiders are indeed both being held to the league's undeniably needless limitation.
