Here's what all happened at Saints OTAs on Wednesday, and it was a lot.
We got to see the Saints in action for the final time until mandatory minicamp next week, as the team held another round of OTAs on Wednesday. They'll wrap up in the next couple of days and then we'll be back for their three-day practice stretch, which will be the final little tuneup before training camp. Here's all of my notes and observations from practice.Not a ton changed from last week, although Tyrann Mathieu was one of the new absences.
Alontae Taylor had a nice pass breakup on a slant route intended to Cedrick Wilson Jr. to begin team drills. He hit his next pass to Taysom Hill in the flats after he came in motion for a second straight play and then the third was attacking the middle of the field to A.T. Perry, but it was dropped. The final throw was the hookup to Olave. In the first team session, his first pass was broken up by Demario Davis on a short pass over the middle to Jamaal Williams.
His lone throw in team was a touchdown to Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the back of the end zone off play action with Millard Bradford being the closest defender. It was a nice throw by Rattler and a good hookup. The Saints were working from the 12, 10, 5 and 2-yard line for their four reps in the red zone. Under Rattler there, the first two plays were runs, which Trajan Jeffcoat had tackles for loss and then he had a keeper up the middle facing pressure from Jeffcoat and Isaiah Foskey.
“I could care less what the expectations are outside this building," Allen said following a question regarding what national media and analysts are saying about the Saints and their chances this season. Defensive backs were working on a pop-up tip drill today, and it feels like the first time I've seen it or really have noticed it. The defensive backs tandem would field a pass near the sideline and the goal was to tip it up to the other one for a pick. There were some solid reps out there.
