Drew Brees is no different than any other New Orleans Saints fan these days. He's watching the team's quarterback competition from afar and following every pass with interest from his California. The Saints legend is as eager as everyone else to see how the training camp battle between Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener plays out. SEE MORE >>

The first practice of the New Orleans Saints' West Coast swing took less than 90 minutes to complete as the team engaged in mostly situational and special teams work. Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough handled the lion's share of the first-team snaps before the team split its work onto separate fields a tactic head coach Kellen Moore has been using to steal some additional practice snaps in the allotted time.

Trevor Penning is entering the last year of his rookie contract at a new position with the Saints. The early returns have been positive. "We ran like a little sweep play, and all I see is Trevor (Penning) driving a guy into the dirt," said rookie left tackle Kelvin Banks. SEE MORE >>

Drew Brees won't need a GPS assist when the time comes next year. He was in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, on Aug. 2, celebrating the HOF induction of former San Diego Chargers teammate Antonio Gates, a tight end with whom he played three productive seasons (2003-05).

Thursday's padded practice took place at Crawford Field at the University of California Irvine. The Saints spent a month here last year during training camp due to the construction of the cafeteria at the Saints facility. Both practice fields are Bermuda grass and orientate east to west. The temperature at the beginning of practice was 78 degrees under sunny skies, with a steady 10-15 mph wind coming out of the south southwest. SEE MORE >>
