So it’s just another random day in June and you would think no one would be interested in coming out to watch the Saints practice, especially coming off *** 5 and 12 season. Well, dead wrong. The Who Dat Nation packed the practice facility for their first chance to see the black and gold, and you know what? They came out here when it was absolutely blazing hot, 91 degrees, and it felt like 104 degrees, but the temps did not phase the black and gold whatsoever. It was *** little tropical, uh, it was, it was little it was *** little Caribbean out there for sure. It wasn’t, it wasn’t too bad, but I think it was *** great kind of start to, to what’s gonna come and. Um, I, for me, when you’re out there playing, you don’t feel it. I think you really feel it when you’re just standing there and, and I’m sure you guys probably feel the same thing, but, uh, no, it was good. I think it was good, uh, guys are focused, guys were, uh, going for it. I think that was the big thing was, uh, you know, this is gonna test everyone and so it was, it was *** good thing for us. I wouldn’t say it’s the hottest day, but by no means was it *** cool one. you know, I love, I love *** little. Sweltering heat for the first day really, really buckles the knees, you know, and once you get beyond that, you’re like, all right, this is what we got to get used to. Kellen Moore and the players really praise the Who Da Nation for being out here because they know it’s important for the fans to see this team because there are *** lot of new faces, coaches as well as players and Meta, Sharifyak WDSU News.

“It was a little tropical, it was a little Caribbean out there for sure, it wasn’t too bad but I think it was a great kind of start to what’s going to come, for me when you’re out there playing you don’t feel it, I think you really feel it when you’re standing there,” rookie quarterback Tyler Shough said.

Kellen Moore felt it was good for his team, saying they were focused and going for it out there on the practice field.

As for Saints defensive end Cam Jordan, he’s used to it by now as Jordan is entering his 15th season with the team.

“I wouldn’t say it was the hottest day, but by no means was it a cool one, I love a little sweltering heat for the first day, really buckles the knees, once you get beyond that you’re like alright this is what we got to get used to,” Jordan said.
