Saints camp is open and they are 11 days from the Hall of Fame game. Guess that means

Well, I hope we make it there uneventfully, as people on my twitter feed start talking about the NFLPA considering a strike due to the NFLRA lockout.

Can't wait to see how Martez Wilson handles the transition from LB to DE, seems to have a lot of promise.

Lofa Tatupu announced done for the season right before camp, that hurts depth wise.

Wow already we should have left him where he was at and kept Curtis Lofton

I'm eager to see how the NFC South turns out. Did you guys hear about Ryan Kalil guaranteeing a Super Bowl victory?

Oh that's great. We didn't pay one of the best young MLB s in the league so we instead went for an injury prone MLB who hasn't played in 2 seasons? Cool

Redskins have waived injured rookie (UVa.) CB Chase Minnifield. I liked the kid, especially given the fact the skins secondary is the weakest unit on the team on paper.

Yeah it was bound to happen sooner or later. Dent was most likely going to be the starter anyways. Mike Peterson has been brought back as well.

Chad Johnson is back -

Basically says he needs to be able to run his mouth to be productive.

I'm going back to my normal ways," Johnson told the newspaper after a photo shoot for Zico Coconut Water. "My normal ways, when I was at my best, when I got fined, look at the production those years. Usually things don't go right when you try to change the way you do things. I'm back to normal.

My personality was controlled last year. You didn't hear me at all last year. Zero. Zilch. When my mouth is running, it forces me to perform. It's never been vindictive. I never got anybody in trouble. ... When I can be me, I am loose. Everything just flows for me, whether it's the style of play, the way I learn."

LOL, strangely I think he will be better. Chad was a bad fit in New England, and under the hoody's system. I think he will be able to "get over" on a rookie head coach. I also think he and Garrard could develop decent chemistry, but he is no Brandon Marshall so I doubt he will be a big play receiver, but he could be a receiver like Jabbar Gaffney in Washington last year.

68 rec 947 yards 5 TDs. I could see Chad with a year like that this year.

Oh, I think he'll be better as well....but not because he can run his mouth and act like an idiot again. It'll be because he might actually understand the Dolphins playbook and won't look completely lost despite having one of the greatest QBs of all time trying to throw him the ball.

And, well, if he really does need to run his mouth and do all those things in order to be good then I am glad as **** he's not on the Patriots anymore.
