Although the focused a lot of their energy into shoring up their defense this offseason, it isn't a Sean Payton team without adding a few offensive pieces.With the Austin Nola Jersey departures of and , the Saints addre sed offensive depth by adding Jr. and , and so far Saints players are thrilled with the results.Quarterback with Ginn so far, according to ESPN.com, and has taken to calling him "Teddy." Ginn fills the speed role in the Saints' offense, something that Payton has always liked to employ with at least one of his receivers. He provides a nice contrast to and , the former being a physical, crisp receiver and the latter a fluid route runner that excels on third down.Peterson has drawn similar praise from teammates. Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com says that in his Jay Buhner Jersey 20 years of covering the , he has never heard a player so hyped by his teammates. This is my 20th year covering the NFL. Ive never heard players hype someone the way the Saints talked about Adrian Peterson on Thursday. Jeff Duncan (@JeffDuncan_) That effusive praise includes some from ... S Kenny Vaccaro Brandon Brennan Jersey on Adrian Peterson: He's "ridiculous." Hasn't lost a step. Thinks he can play til he's 40. Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) ... and ... Saints LT Terron Armstead: I've honestly never seen anybody like Adrian Peterson. ... He' Art Warren Jersey s got so much left. Josh Katzenstein (@jkatzenstein) ... but doesn't stop there. A LOT of Adrian Peterson hype at camp. Words like "amazed" "stud" "ridiculous." But most of all "p shhhh." Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) Of course, teams thinking that they won the offseason is a tale as old as time (see: "Dream Team" and the 2014 Saints), but New Orleans has a way of getting the most of their offensive talent. Peterson will see a reduced workload as he'll be spelling starter , so perhaps that will help as he recovers from a torn meniscus that he suffered last season. Ginn, meanwhile will be mostly flanking alongside Thomas, with Snead Jean Segura Jersey covering the slot. It's the other side of the ball that should remain scrutinized, and will ultimately determine the team's succe s come 2017. |
