The Facts:
Saints players and coaches have had nearly three weeks to meet and greet; now this weekend football gets added to the mix. Players mostly have been lifting weights and doing conditioning work while the Sean Payton and his staff have been preparing for the five practices, beginning with two today. They will practice twice again Saturday and once Sunday.

"I think the most important thing that takes place in this first mini-camp is the opportunity for us to give them their first opportunity to see what the system entails," Payton said. "So there is going to be some learning, even for guys that aren't on the field. ..." With Drew Brees still rehabbing his throwing shoulder, Todd Bouman and Adrian McPherson to handle all the passing drills. TE Ernie Conwell is still limited following knee surgery, but will be 100 percent by training camp.
