Notes from Saints Camp
An Order of Porter
Rookie cornerback Tracy Porter has finally signed with the Saints. The 4-year contract is reportedly worth 4.2 million dollars. Porter will be competing with Randall Gay, Jason David, Greg Fassitt, and the injured Mike McKenzie for a starting job. (We hear that if he can resist the urge to peek into the backfield on back to back drives, David’s done.)
Breakout the Bush
You’ve heard it from the Chicks, now it’s being confirmed by the man himself. This will be Reggie Bush’s breakout year. Why you ask? Because he says so, silly! Bush told reporters on Friday that he’d like to have 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving this season. According to a report in nola.com, the overconfident Bush says
“I plan to be in the Pro Bowl, and I plan to, definitely, for us to make an appearance in the playoffs, if not the Super Bowl. I just plan to have a really good all-around year, as a running back, and to be up there with the top three or four running backs this year.”
Weird Reggie. I seem to remember planning for all those things in 2007. But let’s just go with your plan.
Notes on a Minicamp
Wanna know how Deuce McAllister performed on his repaired knee at minicamp? Get the news straight from the stallion’s mouth. In an interview with reporters, Deuce spoke positively about his recovery, saying his past experience rehabbing from knee surgery will help him out this time around. His team leader Drew Brees also weighed in on Deuce’s progress, giving props to his teammate for seemingly overcoming yet another major health setback.
‘Twas the Night Before Saints Camp
Twas the night before Saints Camp and despite all the frenzy,
not an interception was missed, not even by McKenzie.
The jerseys were hung by the chimney with care
in hopes that a Lombardi trophy would soon be there.
Drew Brees was nestled all snug in his bed
with no thoughts of indictments filling his head.
Marques wore his grip glove, Fred Thomas his cast
and pledged “I won’t get burned this year, I’ll be super-fast!”
The backup QBs in their black and gold caps
joked “Let’s ‘pull a Romo’ and fumble some snaps!”
