Tonight’s game against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville could be the game which ends the battle between veteran journeyman Patrick Ramsey and second year player Chase Daniel.

Despite Daniel’s strong showing against the Texans two weeks ago, Ramsey has an obvious edge because of his experience and the Saints will likely only carry two quarterbacks on the active roster.

However the chance exists, as slim as it is, that they both could end up on the final roster. Continue reading this post »

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton will obviously do just about anything to pump up his team.

He will sign former star players (i.e., Deuce McAllister), give the players bats and tell them to “Bring the Wood!”, and yes, even bring in a basketball player to motivate a team that is known for playing such good offense, that it looks like basketball on grass. Continue reading this post »

The first major roster cuts loom for all NFL franchises today as teams must get to the 75 player maximum requirement by 4:00 PM, the Saints are underway in doing just that.

For the Saints that means parting ways with promising young talent and veteran players alike — Darren Sharper and Clint Ingram are the biggest fish perhaps on the proverbial chopping block.

Both veteran players underwent knee surgery this off-season and so far have been unable to practice with the team to date. Continue reading this post »

The Saints are coming off two straight pre-season wins over the Houston Texans and San Diego Chargers after dropping their first to the New England Patriots.

In their latest victory over the Chargers the Saints seemed to finally find some answers on special teams specifically on kick and punt return coverage, an area that’s needed vast improvement after giving up nearly 200 yards to the Patriots and about the same to the Texan’s.

Kyle Turley In 2001 Game Against The Jets (Source: Yardbarker.com)

Kyle Turley was a first round pick of the Saints in 1998 out of San Diego State appearing in 79 games as the starting tackle in his five seasons with the black and gold.

Turley is perhaps best remembered for his antics during a 2001 game against the New York Jets when after a heated fight with Jets defender Damien Robinson he emerged with his helmet only to throw it across the field afterward giving an obscene gesture. Continue reading this post »

The Saints front office has decided to get a jump on trimming the roster waiving veteran linebacker Troy Evans, corner Danny Gorrer, guard Tim Duckworth, receivers Rod Harper and Mark Bradley late Tuesday night.

The most notable of which is linebacker Troy Evans who has been with the team since signing a two year deal in 2007. Primarily used on special teams, where he was the captain in 2008 and 2009, Evans was also the primary backup at strong side linebacker the last two seasons.

After the departure of former starter Scott Fujita to the Cleveland Browns Evans was considered to be in the mix to start for the Saints in Fujita’s place or at least be used in a rotation of linebacker’s to lock down the strong side. Continue reading this post »
