Ft. John Hendrix: Saints Training Camp Analysis, Payton Turner, Taysom Hill, Kwon Alexander to the Jets
Description
Boot Krewe Media's Jack Culotta, Jr. and John Hendrix (also at Sports Illustrated) cover Saints Training Camp Day 2, highlighting the return of defensive lineman Payton Turner and swiss army knife Taysom Hill, who injured his ribs at Thursday's practice. An excerpt of Hendrix's Day 2 recap -- Among the rotational players included Kentavius Street, Malcolm Roach, Zack Baun, Kaden Elliss, and J.T. Gray. Payton Turner ended up going opposite of Cam Jordan in the first 11-on-11 period. Tyrann Mathieu (excused), Sage Doxtater, Juwan Johnson, Rashid Shaheed (NFI), Tanoh Kpassgnon (NFI), and were among those not spotted at practice on Thursday. Winston went 4-of-4, Dalton went 3-of-4, and Book was 4-of-4. Most of the completions were short with an emphasis on getting the ball out quickly. We did see a somewhat play of the day that saw D'Marco Jackson get a sack on Dalton. Deonte Harty would have wanted this one back to make a killer catch, but give Alontae Taylor some credit for the coverage. 11-ON-11 NOTES: We had two separate periods of this, with the first one going really rough for the offense. Each quarterback ran four plays, and of the five passes, only Winston had a completion on his two attempts. He tried Deonte Harty deep down the sideline, but the pass was out of bounds. Dalton went 0-of-1, and Book's two incompletions were from a drop from Kawaan Baker and a pass out of bounds for Kirk Merritt with Smoke Monday in coverage. Merritt made a great catch, but it wouldn't have counted at all.
