Good afternoon welcome to another edition of sports style featuring Saints camp coverage here on the home of the saint WWL radio that the voice of coach Sean Payton and his media press conference this morning at the practice when asked about. -- fall off if he I didn't feelings on his serve. It's supposed to be announcing he is going to reach higher premium more on -- follow here from Brad Childress and move around the gauntlet as well Larry FitzGerald senior the Minnesota Minnesota spokesman recorder will be with us. At 535 the talk about the topic also Doug Russell the sports direct our sister station up in Milwaukee cope with the Green Bay Packers W as it's.

And they will begin practice on Thursday over as a coach miles and it is felt as his team interest. Training camp 2010 and a lot on the line for the Tigers push a phone calls reports saying their Brett Favre. Will retire. Straight do you believe. 260187866889. 0870. Will be to those calls but we August they took the -- so that's who we put first here. Coach Sean Payton that you just heard speaking on Brett Favre you know variety of topics in his precious this morning including. Talk about the return of receiver Marcus Colston to the practice field.
You know -- he's felt good way it would probably they're on the side of caution with -- another day and and got him going today and so. He's in good shape then. It's good to see him back out there.
Also. Coach Payton as about the progression of undrafted rookie free agent defensive named junior collect. He's got good speed he's got good speed he plays with a high -- so those are some things you see early on -- night he can't well certainly he you know he.
Has been a great players had a great career and and it's great to see the representational. Wrong on behalf of that defense you know as good as they were. You know I know from a Rolen saint standpoint to truly have their first player. In that whole fame is important and -- he's certainly deserving so it was a somewhat ironic that it happened last year it was you know named the Super Bowl in good for him.
And it's coach -- revenue of what he says this morning the high points and his press it would take a quick break and when we get back will be back with an issue head football coach. Unless miles into anymore yet to come on the program to 601878668890. -- it on the bench followed news I was -- the program. You'll hear from Saints defensive end junior -- receiver Adrian Arrington and our conversation today. With Joe Lon Dunbar this is sports talk all of our pros Hokies in a Bobby. And up next LSU coach let's not try here on the home of the Saints NE LSU fighting tiger enjoy listening to W February.
I'm I'm I'm not aware of that and they told me that when we are coming off the field. And our players this teammates. Those guys text back and forth all the time so I'm not aware of any of those reports.
that if the cause of Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is he was not aware of very far overtime when he was as this morning when the Vikings came off the field. -- deal -- confirmed that the Bears report to say -- bridge we you retired do you believe it. 2601878668890870. Is the number to get involved. It's gonna get to a so called for arraignment on line to Raymond could even thank you for calling debuted -- Bobby and hope he.
About it oh yeah -- Rangel got you know -- Bert did before but. And market it says he ordered the because things I think -- going to be under then our next game because. He knows darn well that if he's not under bent over going to be abolished that I did.
Not an over the demolish the Vikings. Because remember the last time to have a quarterback Gus Frerotte I don't know how we lost -- game. You ever end the game. -- can name every get interference call on whether gives him more carries. But you have Favre is a big difference all on those on the I cry and informed and played into sync as any result changes -- women.
Well we welcome -- LSU football coach less miles to the radio and a coach miles thank you so much for the time we appreciate.
My pleasure of course I know not much of got a former tiger you would lose to coach -- guys IBC's ball that I that we all. -- Is that company a good -- Well coach miles a players report tomorrow and then he gets the practice field on a Thursday. Looking right now coach -- what do you think maybe is of a big question among less miles hands maybe going into -- that he wants it. Trying to find an answer too before -- game against North Carolina bodies.
He it would be keeping you wish that we develop state championship. To let you know I listened to -- talk about the Vikings actually. Talk about this quarterback come and you know really helps or hurts the chances -- There's so many different ways that the could be chemistry of a championship team come together. And certainly it starts didn't miss some of the -- great charmer. And what we split it -- nature and beat together. To a patient -- the Kurdish you know you you weird kind of locked into. Eight schedule calendar that they require you to be productive and be productive for your team and that Cheney out how. I had a great time -- there's more -- we actually had warmed what -- they're going into camp. I just want to see me Vienna. The -- first team to be -- the bench and the trip that was that's just what I want to have African.
I think go to I'll look at -- defensive side of the ball obviously the defense played well when he came. Tell allowing points but at times -- the Tigers had trouble getting. All of the feel until the opponents have run off like a ten play drive and when you look at the more consistency on that and especially. A maybe a more consistent pass rush to disrupt the better -- Clinton haven't those sustained drives.
Yeah or. You know some of the things you're looking at pay editions certainly involves the league's personal -- should come -- the field. Me the ability to the foul Bledsoe pulpit more off triple command. Even in the good musician who anchored the aeration -- any talent dared to operate -- never understood beach and you. But god I think it's -- their ability to have that happen then not. Certainly the strategy hasn't been involved there we we worked on the strength and certainly will continue to warp connect this to the bench.
LSU coach less miles as our special guest coach looking on the defense decide this for starters return but -- that. And the back seven -- two tremendously as -- Kelvin Sheppard and I'm back of one of the best the conference and probably the best defensive back in the country and Patrick Peterson I would we rely on him not only their play but also their leadership for the young defense.
Both guys are leaders both guys sure command great respect from thirteen point guard -- quote people -- And our team would expect them you know moment to do the great things from the -- it truly is soft field. And they had no idea. I would expect that both little -- years and he really great thing about these everyday middle linebacker there. Makes calls and or restraint should be -- condition lined out to. It's just match speech you -- assignments. Of those guys that play -- walk in so much better and certainly he should very physically capable. People trying to -- but you get a guy like Patrick Peterson Nick Swisher found. Yeah I'm very very capable wide receiver and AM area in the eighth on -- field based on his ability to cover. Actually out a great advantage and I think both guys are looking forward this saw what they got. They're both guys come -- with great expectations.
You know well coached well look -- on the offensive side of the ball obviously you want to establish a more consistent running game. -- will know whether it's high school college professional and all starts up front what with the offense sublime to looking at the running back corps. That you have talk about how confident you are in their abilities of the yard veterans Richard Murphy. Steven Ridley -- obviously had an experience over a Michael Ford but. Can say is like go Michael Ford that they LSU fans wanna see a little more of him what he can do and talk about that come with.
You know each step forward then make shift -- and very significant. Contribution. I think Terrell I'm very confident about the streak Irish I think all three guys sure were good action in team -- Stand down and give us they've moved approach skills sets to. And I'm like to wish her people that are done ahead of the -- curiosity about mark for a Big -- pretty strong back -- Misha. -- In I think our people for it won't be cherished goals well also which. Natural all the -- to be on national.
LSU coach -- miles -- special guest Tigers opened camp Thursday they'll open the season -- sent -- before in the Georgia Dome against North Carolina Tar Heels and Tigers will square off. Coach a year ago everybody was a very excited about in the coming fresh in my name Russell -- that they get is made touches as. Some folks off would have liked to see talk about his progression and Nate do you maybe look at Russell -- really BA vehicle part of the offense this year.
I think it's you know he came in -- behind the eight ball and -- pursuing the quarterback position and then it just takes so much. You know time and effort to accomplish nickel role quality play at cornerback spot to. I think once -- got me there old lined up for their -- finally got him on the field or push sample more. And then they could you know we'll see what a loss so far turn and -- She becomes they -- very very significant player in knows. Not structures that. And I can be no difference making you know which I think he's -- and the summer he's a great ability and speed live very emotional guy. But I think he's worked hard on his ball skills and he tore cartilage Torre. It is speed development. There aren't they pretty much better and they would -- be used to a year ago and I think kitchen area. And it's exciting to think that he may have history made tremendous -- then. What the ears as well I mean she used to -- usually great leader. And they have great young man over and over it's done in those people who know what he's been or even -- curtain pocket. Certainly enjoyed. How he looked -- so oh where are. And I think they key is a part of receiving corps he has this special player with the -- the chance. What I have the opportunity to make -- very very -- palatial.
Thank coach miles look at Shepherd he was in the part of their quarterback competition allies shared now look going to third or tenth season. Are you happy with the progression and Jordan Jefferson or do you wish you would have separate himself a little more in spring ball. And how will you be observer and -- on now come in two days two days is an Albany competition is Jerry Lee still in the mix are. How hard do you think Jordan Jefferson has solidified that spot I'm going into the season.
Well I think your objection has gotten much better -- look at or -- if you -- just. That can't stop it better than some things for the -- he improves on just really you know make -- even better. I think -- competition there thank you -- sister I think -- There are the moisture at least has continued to compete continue to get better continued to cushion the field which it would be easy to do to make this team better. And -- certainly leadership and understanding that -- there you know what more. Copied Allah be happy you know -- they actually won the last one mentioned you know check the Europe. Back in postseason record -- played spectacularly Aaron and I am not there yet so happy it's a long way away. End. Maybe and I like Alex -- poorly you know this this year and freshman in my opinion -- she got. There were a lot of talent a lot of ability and just -- tremendous work ethic can comes in -- poor leadership skills. And musician you know put him make his mark himself and then I you know certainly hope to -- partnership -- You don't stay clear indication that corner yeah it's great future.
LSU coach Blair -- coach miles thank you so much for the time we appreciate a good look. Which camp this season.
Bench guys just just you know this prime years so a lot of farm team reports and it's time to get better so take care.
All right LSU coach -- Somalis -- bit -- guys and I'm big on the via WW out newsstands for 33 time for first news 25 it's.
So we understood -- to -- In that book so weird it's it's still ongoing. Hell even middle of the season is still could be.
We'll see on the first game whereas. The star quarterback will make sure there were well prepared for the.
And -- Saints safety gangs out when notified this morning the word came down their quarterback Brett Favre. Would be retiring or said to be your time welcome back -- fall reports out still yet -- from -- the horse's mouth so to speak his -- said. It's -- himself as cities retiring but we're asking you do you think he is retiring 260187866. AD -- 0870. And by -- being a big guys don't know whether some was thought now with the guys about this morning's practice and the interesting part about the practice a coach Payton and not on the script of course do about the you have talked to do lined -- right earlier. That it kind of threw a twelve -- set out there working and I go while they put above -- at ten and fifth.
I was there and finished fifteen it was red zone did she call it runs it wasn't red zone offense now we've seen him do that drill while Genesis yes and lyzard. They had like twelve plays in the -- live it's like a real game because they pick in the running back down tackle them. They they do like three passes and ran the ball nine times -- today this morning it was twelve for twelve running. And I really got an aggressive. A moment as far -- you watch him practice because you don't see that the why do -- again they might do is maybe one more time three had the most. Because at the very first play and and this happens in you don't want this have been Pierre Thomas goes through to middle. They do why come aside he fumbles the ball thing you know you're is left for deliberately get a fine on the morning the day trees -- if it's a hairline fracture or just a sprain. Whatever but -- some young and recovering the ball overall. I'd say that defense one and you -- will realize though as bad as far as to say until we look at the -- an ideal number two in the league within 25 ranked defense. But they were number two red zone defense just a few percentage point points behind the Redskins -- able to create turnovers. And force field goals so the Disney there's and the Gregg Williams. Has been stout as far as stats wise and in the red zone. Now Reggie had a nice run of 45 yards Hamilton Allen and a three -- like go for a five yard run. PJ hill was running Harvard able why can I -- three like two and a two yard run. Appears him pretty low even the back of guys no matter who was an -- were coming have been hit people. But it took a challenge. From coach Joe bit Chris either ran hard in the middle. And then 96 yard gain when he went from like the ten through four yard line. And Joe bits kind of like mocking the offense and marking the -- the same time he's saying that the -- players instead. They said that come on -- line numbers and they said we don't want we don't want that they say we don't want that. Nowhere does it matter if you know we're running we're gonna -- running down your throat. And Kenny gamble and Holland. Who wears off wears off you know kind of thing that's a -- to -- gonna get the same people as they're soft. You know the middle stopping the run and any Ken Holland it's a game of Wales it's a game of will. So trying to inspire the defense so I think coach -- Joba though I'm our coaches kinda mild -- for Coach Williams and that drill. Not if you look at it also now appearing. This isn't even a blind coach Travis Jones and he's heavily on the bubble Demorrio Presley. Maybe see one of those guys that you considered -- solve he's always dealing with nagging injuries. While they were calling out OP front and then he needed to be in there any kind of took himself -- outing so what are you going where you going it's okay. You know what he's supposed to be in there any in the miss and is that. So laden -- wasn't too good down when they get those meeting rooms with the Mario Presley he's slugged a three year guy out of North Carolina State really on the bubble. But you know if you look at it compared to last year like I said. No pass that was strictly run and I think the defense figured it out you know what they need to run every one -- rental place and I gonna be no. You know passes involvement now legacy that it wasn't true goal line but got -- put the ball on the ten to fifteen yard line.
I wouldn't I wouldn't exactly characterize it as 100%. All out but they were knocked in people down and -- the -- opinion on -- the ball carrier was -- to who got a league in who didn't if you know what I mean he had that I didn't hit put this they didn't hit great just hard right PJ hill yet and -- PJ hill was -- a nice trying to tinker street just going up from the safety position and didn't -- love. Out of bounds so. That's kind of made got a little -- would the most contact I've seen around here in quite some time -- frustrating -- practice you have very spirited practice right there and I would have to say overall that deal because basically everything they did. No was already don't stuffy in the past -- right I have to say the defense definitely had the upper hand today both in run defense ends. Pass defense and dead zone and you.
Okay it was impressive you look at the reds on David seemingly even when needed -- who in no rush like you said the defense swollen. Now Roman Harper you know we always on him about his red zone coverage. Mean go to Dublin nice plays bend a ball down. But Vinny drops the pick the potatoes deposition you gotta make an interception -- times so far can the Roman -- dropped interceptions. Where of that as the case -- star berths it's almost like Lance Moore. Usually at that ball hit Derrius -- hands feet and balls intercepted it's interceptions. And that hasn't indicated so forward Roman Harper on the backhand but at least he's in position now just catch the ball and in the -- alternate -- given up a touchdown.
Those are pros OK guys on him by BA BA coming back to babysit and -- all of the -- word is great -- we're retired do you believe it is so. -- Well that's pretty out is the lie to 60187866889. 08 Samuel go around the NFL the 7:8 o'clock hour NFL scouts fox sports NFL analyst. Chris Landry each and every Tuesday night the ruffled bossi right -- on the home of the world champion New Orleans Saints visit WWL. I'll -- at face value. History says things in the battle back and forth with that decision so right now you may be retired -- time in his papers but. Armas a week from now he may wanna change his mind you never know. Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma when asked about -- what he thought different phone word was he was going to retire welcome back to sports talk to 60187866. 88908100. It's human reaction from around the country in Nextel. What -- they will visit anyway Jim's Tokyo the Carolina Panthers radio color analyst will be -- talk about the Panthers outlook for 2002 in the this -- fifth year senior the Minnesota spokesman record will be with us. In the 5 o'clock now refers to the phone Lugo can't sit here in New Orleans Jones is Vincent thank you for calling WW yeah.
Glad -- and I don't I didn't. I -- cause like the last like maybe two minutes double up moderate view almost ordered it he's -- about. They're -- starting outside linebackers Brian Baker that program ball. He didn't. I would get old cared -- will -- what are you guys perception of -- to place -- paper it's about but those positions or. If they -- loss thinking you don't have a little bit.
I think those guys have talent I mean obviously did the centerpieces Kelvin Sheppard there you know they've you know and he's only. Where I was in there with him look good but that they've got depth you know they got a lot of youth on defense what they've got some pretty good depth Benson but. He goes -- we'll wait and see approach we will open that you know from LSU standpoint is. And the same thing here in New Orleans place he had thought they showed you know some improvement. From oh wait to own man and then you open in Pomona and -- 2000 TN that they. In -- more teeth and amount of the tiger so to speak on the defensive side of the ball and.
And you don't speak enough on that even decided a ball well against LSU fans more like Friday morning the -- and -- back and reflect back when Virginia Tech came to town. And then -- just walloped Virginia Tech in Baton Rouge right to meet the pass rush has to get more consistent there's nothing more. Think it's the fans all -- up hyped up when when the quarterback is like a deer in the headlights. And if you can get after the quarterback can put pressure because Dallas is scoring defense say okay if you look overall yet that the the point -- they got it done but just inconsistent past runs so that they can be more disruptive. And and I think that'll go a long way. What more there were people fear in the coming in at Tiger Stadium just find it defensive line being able to get more pressure on the opposing quarterback.
And Vince it is not think coach miles probably would like to go through his entire roster in panic give you the pluses and minuses immobile when you got him for 45 minutes in an interview. If you really have an opportunity talk about everybody on the offensive side -- in defense of that so. He basically -- based on the questions that we asking.
They become meg now Milan he brand is going to be a good quarterback it it's Florida. Matt Troy Alabama program Mallard Owens -- ole miss has been a quarterback twisted in addition. I'm -- solely so they going to be faces of two quarterbacks of food per shown those guys is going to be key. We'll see those thoughts up on September 4 against a North Carolina team that is how we thought in the athletics. Coast conference is about even until you guys out this is -- stuff on WW -- welcome bat -- top pros OK guys and I'm Bobby ain't bad I'm Deke Bellavia coming up we'll get some reaction next hour. On -- will he retire I'm not and I also will visit with. Player FitzGerald senior founder of related jail works for the Minnesota spokesman recorder -- hokey. Bridge falls. Still no -- no confirmation our -- was saying that he's talked to -- fold.
Between practices can -- and he says there's still no decision. This. It's the biggest biggest that this is this -- this year. Well by all accounts I mean people would get a lot more contact Brett Favre and I got to to his teammates his coaches and ironing out. About the only thing I've heard that this is anywhere even near concrete news at the -- mentioned he sits sit this is it. Does that mean. Then it's over president mean. 2000 into anything it that's so last season I'm don't play man I don't believe that tell -- I I don't believe in LA if I don't see him show up on Thursday night. That's when -- believe.
And you know got thing that is overly -- that they don't they we nobody nobody -- speak I think it fitted into -- human being number right generated this decision would have been three weeks and now -- Rhonda you know 22 23 because -- opinion around -- departed -- that. -- return at some point out that every the Vikings brake cam in Mankato. Now that there was kind of what they all believe that far was skipped the first two preceding games at Saint Louis and San Francisco then returned to play in the third quarter to third receiving game at Seattle at the metrodome and on August 28. Well then that's over three weeks and now ranks of -- make in this state even though he might wake up tomorrow morning. And besides I leave offense and I got some fans -- associates looked to me that's three week.
