Saints QB Adrian McPherson was fielding punts with the rest of the return men on Saturday and did not seem to be out of his element. He tracked the ball well and didn’t try to force anything. It will be interesting to see if he continues this practice throughout camp. I like that the staff is trying to find ways to implement McPherson and his skills into the gameplan, but wonder if this is an indication that the coaches don’t have much confidence in him as a legit QB. – Chris
Early Camp Review Sunday, Jul 30 2006

It’s too early to make any accurate statements about who’s hot and who’s not, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. The competition for WR slots is heating up, with Mike Hass continuing his strong showing. Donte Stallworth and Devery Henderson have dropped catchable balls, but have looked sharp athletically. There’s plenty of competition for the two safety spots, with Jay Bellamy, Bryan Scott, Josh Bullocks, newly acquired Omar Stoutmire, and rookie Roman Harper. It’s a position worth watching, as it seems fairly wide open at this point. Drew Brees has not thrown a ball further than 30 yards or so, indicating that the coaching staff is not ready to take the kid gloves off just yet. He hasn’t looked bad, but he seems to be hanging his passes. Short, medium, or long, many of his throws have too much air under them, a recipe for interceptions come gametime and a possible indication that his shoulder is not ready to put some zip on the ball. A Qb that hasn’t had any problem adding zip is Adrian McPherson. His throws have been crisp and generally on target, though he has had some problems with a few short routes. I talked him after his first day of camp, hopefully we can get that interview uploaded soon. – Chris
