The Facts:
Stallworth, who was disciplined for being late by being held out of Saturday's workouts, was sidelined for parts of Sunday's practice. Stallworth had minor off-season shoulder surgery, and at times stood around flexing his left shoulder. But Payton wouldn't say whether Stallworth was being singled out. "There are certain things that we expect," Payton said. "There are no fixtures position-wise on this team. There are no staples. Especially on a team that was 3-13. We'll see."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Payton is clearly out to set a new tone for the Saints. Look for more items like this -- and the trade sending troublesome defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan to New England (for receiver Bethel Johnson) -- in the coming weeks as the new coach takes the actions necessary to turn a losing franchise around.
