THE MATCHUP The New Orleans Saints (0-1) will travel to Southern Cali-fornia on Wednesday for two days of joint practices with the Los Angeles Chargers (0-1) followed by a preseason matchup on Sunday, August 18. The contest will be played at Dignity Sports Park in Carson, Calif. at 3 p.m. CT and will be broadcast nationally on CBS.

Since 2017, the two clubs have conducted two days of joint training camp practices, followed by a preseason tilt. On August 25, 2018, the Saints beat the Chargers 36-7 in the third preseason contest that featured extensive action by the club’s starters, a period of practices and a victory that served as a springboard towards a 13-3 season that resulted in a division championship in consecutive sea-sons for the first time in franchise history and advancing to the NFC Championship game.

The Saints are 5-7 all-time against the Chargers in the reg-ular season and are 4-4 in preseason contests. New Orle-ans is riding a three-game winning streak in both the regu-lar season and preseason against the Chargers, having not dropped a regular season tilt against Sunday’s oppo-nent since 2004 and an exhibition since 1985.

The Black and Gold opened the 2019 preseason with a 34-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome tight end Dan Arnold and rookie wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey caught touchdowns from Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill. In the running game, New Orleans gained 141 yards.

Bridgewater started for the Saints and played the entire first half. He completed 14-of-19 passes for 134 yards one touchdown and a 110.4 passer rating.

Hill took over the reigns in the second half and showed his unique versatility both running and passing. He completed eight of 14 passes for 80 yards and also carried six times for a team-best 45 yards (7.5 avg.).

In after Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray received limited snaps at running back, Devine Ozigbo and Dwayne Wash-ington received more extensive auditions. Washington carried eight times for 36 yards (4.5 avg.) and Ozigbo rushed three times for 20 yards (6.7 avg.).

The Saints defense surrendered 460 total net yards to the Vikings and struggled on third down as well as surrender-ing several big plays, all of which have been a point of em-phasis in both corrections on film at meetings and during practices at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center this week.

Defensive team captain and weakside linebacker Demario Davis posted four tackles and he was tied for the team lead in stops with defensive back J.T. Gray and linebacker Darnell Sankey. Linebacker Vince Biegel recovered a fumble in the second quarter.

On special teams, the duo of kicker Wil Lutz and punter Thomas Morstead were in midseason form. Lutz drilled all four of his field goal attempts, while Morstead had a 45.5 gross and net on his two punts.

The kickoff and punt return games, which currently have several candidates, also came up with impressive perfor-mances. Rookie wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris had a 23-yard punt return nullified by a holding call. He also brought back three kickoffs for 90 yards. Wide re-ceiver Cyril Grayson Jr. brought back two kickoffs for 61 yards, as well as brining in a 32-yard reception from Bridgewater.

THE COACHES New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 126-80 overall record (.612), including an 8-6 postseason mark after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival. Payton holds both the club’s top win to-tal and winning percentage. He continues to represent the Saints as the model of stability not only within the NFC South, as he is the longest tenured head coach within the division, but also among the most accomplished within the National Football League. Only the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick (2000) has been with the his team longer. Payton is also one of just seven active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, the Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Oakland Raiders’ Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay in 2002), the Baltimore Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Doug Pederson and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2018 Saints edi-tion posted a 13-3 regular season record, secured the NFC’s number one seed for the postseason and advanced to the NFC Championship game. A franchise-record five players were selected to the Associated Press All-Pro team and a club-best eight were named to the Pro Bowl. New Orleans’ ten-game winning streak was the second-longest in club history and the longest run of consecutive victories in the NFL in 2019. The streak only sits behind in club rec-ord books, New Orleans’ 13-0 start under Payton in 2009, the season when they captured Super Bowl XLIV. Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communications at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had 10,665 passing yards, at the time the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA history. Payton was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in September of 2000 and had his jersey re-tired in a ceremony in September of 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born December 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Los Angeles Chargers Head Coach Anthony Lynn is in his third season leading the Bolts. He led the Chargers to a 12-4 record and their first postseason appearance in five sea-sons, after helping turn around the franchise to post a 9-7 mark in 2017, a four-game improvement from 2016. Lynn’s hiring was the Los Angeles Chargers’ first transaction upon their announced relocation from San Diego. In addition to the significance of being the first African-American head coach in the team’s history, he has also served as a stead-ying force during the team’s move 90 miles up the Pacific Coast. Prior to his move to the West Coast in 2017, Lynn was the assistant head coach and running backs coach for the Buffalo Bills from 2015 to 2016, gaining offensive coor-dinator responsibilities last season as well. Prior to the final game of 2016, Lynn was promoted to interim head coach

for a Week 17 matchup against the New York Jets; the Bills fell, 30-10. Before being hired as an assistant in Buffalo, Lynn served as running backs coach for the New York Jets between 2009 and 2014, where he was part of a team that twice went to the AFC Championship game, in both 2009 and 2010. In 2007 and 2008, Lynn tutored running backs for the Cleveland Browns, and in 2005 and 2006, he served in the same role for the Dallas Cowboys. Between 2003 and 2004, Lynn coached the running backs for the Jacksonville Jaguars, before which he acted as a special teams assistant for the Denver Broncos from 2000 to 2002. Before beginning his career as a coach, Lynn enjoyed a six-year career as a player, serving as a running back from 1993 to 1999. After going undrafted in 1992, Lynn was signed by the Denver Broncos, appearing in 13 games in 1993. In 1995, he was picked up by the San Francisco 49ers and recorded his first NFL carry, a five-yard gain against Atlanta on Sept. 10, 1995. In 1996, he recorded his only NFL start and had the longest rush of his career, a 67-yard gain against Atlanta on Sept. 29, 1996. He returned to the Broncos in 1997 and was part of the teams that won Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII before retiring after the 1999 campaign. Before his career in the NFL, Lynn played running back at Texas Tech from 1988 to 1991.

LAST REGULAR SEASON MEETING

New Orleans Saints 35, San Diego Chargers 34; Octo-ber 2, 2016 @ Qualcomm Stadium – The Saints’ dra-matic come-from-behind victory gave New Orleans an all-time 5-7 record against the Chargers with their third straight win in the all-time series, all since quarterback Drew Brees joined the Saints as an unrestricted free agent in 2006 after starting his NFL career with the Chargers from 2001-05. New Orleans completed the come-back when fullback John Kuhn scored on a one-yard touch-down run with 1:57 left in the contest. The win would also put the Saints in the win column after their second consec-utive 0-3 start.

New Orleans jumped out to the 14-7 lead early with a pair of touchdown passes by Brees in the return to the home stadium where he represented the Chargers for his first five campaigns as a professional, San Diego responded with 17 consecutive points, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by running back Melvin Gordon with 13 seconds left in the first half to give the chargers a 24-14 halftime lead.

New Orleans got on the scoreboard first in the second half when Kuhn scored on a one yard run as New Orleans en-tered the fourth quarter trailing 24-21. San Diego extended their lead back to 34-21 in the fourth quarter on another one-yard touchdown for by Gordon and a 47-yard field goal by kicker Josh Lambo. Saints rookie safety Vonn Bell forced a fumble, recovered by defensive end Darryl Tapp at the San Diego 13-yard line. Following three straight run plays, Brees completed a five-yard touchdown to rookie wide receiver Michael Thomas in the end zone to move New Orleans within six. On San Diego’s next play from scrimmage, wide receiver Travis Benjamin fumbled a ball that was picked up by linebacker Nate Stupar at the Chargers 31-yard line. Brees then engineered the seven-play, 31-yard drive that set up Kuhn’s game-winning run. Cornerback B.W. Webb recorded an interception with 1:18 remaining to secure the win.

With Brees returning to play at San Diego for the first time since he was a member of the Chargers, he completed 23-of-36 passes for 207 yards, engineering his 38th career fourth quarter/overtime comeback.

Defensively, Bell started and added nine tackles to his fum-ble recovery, while defensive end Cameron Jordan (one), defensive tackle Nick Fairley (1.5) and defensive end Paul Kruger each collected sacks. Jordan also added a forced fumble.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS-LA CHARGERS SERIES HISTORY

The Chargers have a slight edge in the regular season se-ries between the two clubs, leading it 7-5. However, six of the Chargers’ wins came in the first seven matchups be-tween 1973 and 1997. Since 2000, the Saints lead the se-ries, 4-1, including victories in 2008 at Wembley Stadium in London, England, 2012 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and 2016 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, all since former Chargers signal-caller Drew Brees signed with the Black and Gold as an unrestricted free agent in 2006.

In New Orleans’ first regular season contest overseas on October 26, 2008, Brees completed 30-of-41 passes for 339 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 121.9 passer rating to lead the Saints to a 37-35 win, while linebacker Jonathan Vilma had nine solo tackles and one fourth quarter interception

New Orleans entered the 2012 contest with an 0-4 record on the year, yet they emerged with a 31-24 victory as Brees surpassed Johnny Unitas’ record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass, hitting wide receiver Devery Henderson on a 40-yard strike to notch Brees’ 48th straight game with a touchdown through the air. Wide re-ceiver Marques Colston was the recipient of Brees’ other three touchdown passes as both he and Henderson sur-passed the 100-yard receiving mark. Brees completed 29-of-45 throws for 370 yards and a 110.4 passer rating on his record-breaking night.

Brees also rallied the Saints from an 0-3 start in San Diego in the 2016 contest at Qualcomm Stadium, engineering a fourth quarter comeback to put the Saints in the win col-umn for the first time that season.

The Saints are tied in the preseason series with the Chargers 4-4, having won their last three contests.

The last time the two teams met in exhibition play was 2018, when the Saints traveled to Southern California early and practiced with the Chargers for two days prior to post-ing a 36-7 win at the Stubhub Center on August 25. The contest marked QB Drew Brees’ 2018 preseason debut. Running back Alvin Kamara rushed for a two-year touch-down in limited action as well. On special teams, kicker Wil Lutz made two field goals for the Saints, a 25-yarder and a 35-yarder as time expired in the first half. Punter Thomas Morstead had a typically strong outing, punt-ing twice for 102 yards (51.0 avg.) with a 39.5 net and one inside-the-20. Defensively, the contest marked the NFL debut of then-rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport, who did not disappoint with a split sack and three tackles, as New Orleans outscored Los Angeles 36-0 in the final three quarters.

TEAM NOTES

QUARTERBACKS (3) - Returners: Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater, Taysom Hill. WORTH NOTING: Brees en-joyed another prolific season in 2018 en route to his 12th Pro Bowl selection, 11th as a Saint. He completed 364-of-489 passes (NFL-record 74.4%) for 3,992 yards with 32 touchdowns and a career-high and NFL-best 115.7 passer rating, as he became the NFL’s all-time completions and passing yardage leader. Bridgewater and Hill are compet-ing in training camp for snaps behind Brees. Bridgewater, a five-year NFL veteran, has appeared in 35 career games with 29 starts and returns to New Orleans for the second consecutive season after he served as Brees’ backup in 2018 and started the regular season finale. Now in his third NFL season, in addition to his quarterback duties, Hill has evolved into a threat in other facets of the offense and on special teams. His role expanded further in both phases in 2018, as he played in all 16 games and carried 37 times for 196 yards with two touchdowns, caught five passes, com-pleted three-of-seven throws for 64 yards, returned 14 kick-offs for 348 yards (24.9 avg.), posted six special teams stops and blocked a punt.

RUNNING BACKS (9) - Returners: TB Alvin Kamara, FB Zach Line, TB Alvin Kamara, Dwayne Washington. Veteran additions: FB Michael Burton (UFA-Chi.), TB Latavius Murray (UFA-Min.), TB Jacquizz Rodgers (UFA-TB), FB Shane Smith (FA), TB Kerwynn Williams (FA), . Undrafted rookies: TB Devine Ozigbo. Departures from 2018: TB Mark Ingram. WORTH NOTING: A point of emphasis in training camp for New Orleans is to continue to maintain and improve a running game that averaged 126.6 yards per game to rank sixth in the NFL, while retaining its strength as a pass-catching unit. The Saints running attack is led by the duo of Kamara and Murray. Kamara, who rec-orded 194 carries for 883 yards and a franchise-record 14 touchdowns to lead the team in rushing, was also a threat in the passing game with 81 grabs for 709 yards and four touchdowns, as he led the team with 1,592 total yards from scrimmage and was selected to his second Pro Bowl. Fol-lowing the departure of Ingram in free agency, New Orle-ans signed Murray, who carried 140 times for 578 yards (4.1 avg.) with six touchdowns in his final season in Minne-sota. Cadet averaged 26.6 yards on nine kickoff returns and will audition for a role handling both kickoff and punt returns as well as an extended role on offense. Washington handled lead back duties in the regular season finale and rushed for 108 yards. Line is a 6-3, 233 pound bruising blocker who returns for his third season. He excelled in

short yardage situations, carrying nine times for 41 yards (4.6 avg.) and catching two touchdowns.

WIDE RECEIVERS (11) - Returners: Tre’Quan Smith, Michael Thomas, Travin Dural, Simmie Cobbs Jr., Keith Kirkwood, Ted Ginn Jr., Austin Carr. Veteran additions: Cyril Grayson Jr.. Undrafted rookies: Deonte Harris (FA), Emmanuel Butler (FA), Lil’Jordan Humphrey (FA). Depar-tures from 2018: Tommylee Lewis, Cameron Meredith. WORTH NOTING: Competition from top to bottom of the wide receiver corps has been a constant in training camp. The group is once again led by fourth-year veteran Thomas. In 2018, he led the league in receiving with a fran-chise-record 125 receptions for 1,405 yards with nine touchdowns. Ginn returns for his third year with the Black and Gold, healthy after missing the bulk of last season with a knee injury. His ability to stretch the field will serve the Saints well. Smith enjoyed an impressive rookie season, posting 28 receptions for 427 yards (15.3 avg.) and five touchdowns. Kirkwood showed flashes of brilliance as a rookie in the second half of the season, grabbing 16 pass-es for 185 yards and two touchdowns in the regular season and adding another postseason scoring catch. After miss-ing 2018 with a season-ending knee injury in training camp, Dural will look to compete for a roster spot. Butler has been a surprisingly reliable option in the passing game in training camp as he fights for a roster spot. He will continue to work to show his ability to get open in the preseason, as he Smith, Dural, Cobbs, Kirkwood and Carr compete for spots in the club’s multiple receiver sets.

TIGHT ENDS (6) - Returners: Garrett Griffin, Dan Ar-nold, Josh Hill. Veteran additions: Jared Cook (UFA-Oak.), A.J. Derby (UFA-Mia.). Draft Picks/Undrafted rookies: Alize’ Mack (D7a). Departures from 2018: Benjamin Watson. WORTH NOTING: Jared Cook is expected to become one of the most explosive cogs in the Saints’ high-powered passing attack. Cook, signed in the offseason as an unre-stricted free agent from Oakland as played in 149 career games and has compiled 425 receptions for 5,464 yards and 25 touchdowns. The ten-year NFL veteran posted ca-reer-highs in receiving (68), receiving yardage (896) and receiving touchdowns as he was selected to his first Pro Bowl. Hill, a six-year NFL veteran will serve as a solid com-plement to Cook, recording 16 receptions for 185 yards and one touchdown. Overall in his career, he has posted 83 grabs for 799 yards and 11 touchdowns. Mack comes as a rookie from Notre Dame and will compete for snaps and a roster spot along with Griffin and Arnold, who made signifi-cant development in 2018 and Derby, a four-year veteran who was picked up in camp.

OFFENSIVE LINE (17) - Returners: T Terron Armstead, C/G Cameron Tom, C Will Clapp, G Larry Warford, T Mi-chael Ola, T Ryan Ramczyk, G/T Andrus Peat.

Draft choices/Undrafted rookies: C Erik McCoy (D-2), OL Ethan Greenidge (FA) OL Derrick Kelly II (FA). Departures from 2018: C Max Unger, T Jermon Bushrod. WORTH NOTING: The line experienced significant change with the retirement of Unger and the departure of Bushrod. In addition to Unger, three other members of the group up front were named to the Pro Bowl in 2018 (Armsted, Peat and Warford) and Ramczyk was named an Associated Press second-team All-Pro. Warford and Peat will once again anchor the right and left guard positions respectively. Warford was selected to his second consecutive Pro Bowl in 2018 and Peat was selected for the first time. A training camp competition is taking place for the starting center position between McCoy, Tom and Easton. McCoy was the club’s second round draft pick and a three-year starter at Texas A&M. Easton has valuable starting experience coming from the Vikings and Tom opened one contest at right guard in 2018. Armstead, a third round draft choice in 2013, was selected to his first career Pro Bowl as he helped spur the rushing offense to rank sixth in the NFL. Ramczyk has ably handled right tackle duties since 2017, not having missed a snap of a game he has played in. Ola is a quality backup who has the ability to play at either guard or tackle. Clapp opened one game at guard in 2018. Newhouse is a ninth-year NFL veteran who has played in 114 career games with 72 starts. Henry, John, Groy, Kelly and Greenidge will also compete for roster spots in training camp.

DEFENSIVE LINE (13) - Returners: DE Trey Hendrick-son, DE Marcus Davenport, DT David Onyemata, DE Cameron Jordan, DT Sheldon Rankins, DT Taylor Stall-worth.

Draft choices/Undrafted rookies: DE Corbin Kaufusi (FA), DT Shy Tuttle (FA). Departures from 2018: DT Jay Bromley, DE Alex Okafor, DT Tyeler Davison, DT Tyrunn Walker. WORTH NOTING: Ninth-year defensive end and four-year defensive team captain Cameron Jordan has emerged as the leader of the New Orleans defensive line. In 2018, he was an AP All-Pro for the second consecutive season and had his fourth Pro Bowl berth, recording 49 tackles (35 solo), a team-high and 12 sacks, six passes

defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. His career takedown total (71.5), is ranked fourth in club rec-ord books. Brown, a stout run stopper will be a welcome addition from New England, where was part of two Super Bowl champion teams to add to a rush defense that ranked second in the NFL in 2018. In his first season, Davenport posted 4.5 sacks and moves into the starting lineup in 2019. Rankins broke out and posted a career-high eight sacks in 2018 and his return will be welcomed after recov-ery from an Achilles injury. Onyemata posted 4.5 takedowns in 2018. Edwards, an unrestricted free agent acquisition, has the ability to play on the inside or outside. Both Hendrickson and Stallworth are young defensive line-men that serve a key role in the rotation and have the abil-ity to both stop the run and rush the passer. Horton, Wil-liams, Grissom, Kaufusi and Tuttle will compete for roster spots in the preseason contests.

LINEBACKERS (10) - Returners: Darnell Sankey, Alex Anzalone, Craig Robertson, A.J. Klein, Demario Davis, Vince Biegel. Offseason veteran additions: Colton Jumper (FA), Josh Martin (UFA-NYJ) Draft choices/Undrafted rookies: Kaden Elliss (D-7b), Porter Gustin (FA),. Depar-tures from 2018: Manti Te’o. WORTH NOTING: On the outside, unrestricted free agent acquisition Demario Davis was voted a team captain his first season with the club and made an immediate impact, opening all 16 games and posting a team-high 110 tackles, five sacks, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Davis also enjoyed an outstanding postseason, leading the team with 22 stops and adding an interception in the NFC Championship game. Opposite Davis, Klein appeared in all 16 games and posted 70 tackles (42 solo) with two sacks, one interception, three passes defensed and a career-high two fumble recoveries. Anzalone and Robertson anchor the middle of the linebacker corps for New Orleans. Rob-ertson, voted a team captain for the second time in 2018, has posted 532 stops for New Orleans and Cleveland in seven NFL campaigns and also is an asset on special teams where he has posted 42 stops, one fumble recovery and has recovered a blocked punt. Anzalone shook off an injury-marred 2017 rookie campaign and recorded a career-high 59 tackles with two sacks, one interception, two passes defensed and a club-best three forced fumbles. In addition to serving as backups, Biegel and Robertson also are two of the best special teams coverage players on the club. In 2013, Humber tied a career-high with 24 tackles, while adding nine special teams stops. Competition also features several rookies and veterans. Martin, signed at the start of training camp, is a seasoned veteran with 62 career defensive tackles and 43 career special teams stops with several clubs.

DEFENSIVE BACKS (16) - Returners: CB Ken Crawley, CB Patrick Robinson, CB Marshon Lattimore, S Vonn Bell, CB Eli Apple, CB P.J. Williams, S Chris Banjo, DB Justin Hardee Sr., S Marcus Williams, DB J.T. Gray. Offseason veteran additions: CB/PR Marcus Sherels (UFA-Min.), CB T.J. Green (FA), DB Terrell Williams Jr. (FA), CB Kayvon Webster (UFA-Hou.). Draft choices/Undrafted rook-ies: S C.J. Gardner-Johnson (D-4), S Saquan Hampton (D-6). Departures from 2018: CB Josh Robinson, S Kurt Coleman.

WORTH NOTING: A mix of veteran experience and youth at the cornerback position will be led by third-year NFL veteran and 2017 Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Marshon Lattimore. In his second NFL season, Lattimore finished with 59 tackles (49 solo) and led the team with five takeaways (two interceptions and team-high and club-best three fumble recoveries and 13 passes defensed, adding two more picks in the NFC Divisional Playoff win. Lattimore’s coverage abilities and emerging veteran leadership will be an asset to the secondary. Pat-rick Robinson, the club’s first round draft pick in 2010, will return to the secondary following his recovery from season-ending ankle surgery following an injury in week three. Brought back to New Orleans in 2018, Robinson manned the nickel for the 2017 Super Bowl Champion Eagles, with him returning an interception for a touchdown in the NFC Championship. Eli Apple joined New Orleans in a midsea-son trade from the Giants and he finished the season with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Fifth-year player Williams solid coverage and tackling abilities also put him in play to see significant snaps. Green, Crawley, Webster and Williams will all receive ample opportunities in the secondary and on special teams in training camp and the preseason contests. Vonn Bell and Marcus Williams will hold the two starting safety positions, with Gardner-Johnson and Hampton also playing a significant role on both defense and special teams. The hard-hitting Bell, the club’s second round draft pick in 2016, enjoyed a standout third campaign. He led the secondary with 87 tackles (61 solo), one one sack, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Williams finished the sea-son with two picks and will look for more big-play opportuni-ties in 2019.

SPECIALISTS (4) - Returners: LS Zach Wood, K Wil Lutz, P Thomas Morstead. Draft choices/Undrafted rookies: LS Nick Moore (FA). WORTH NOTING: The specialist group remains intact for the third consecutive season. Lutz, is a three-year NFL veteran, who drilled 28-of-30 (93.3%) field goal attempts and 136 points. In his career, Lutz ranks

had a 36-game streak of kicking a field goal, second in NFL record books end in the regular season finale. In his career, he has hit 87.0% (87-of-100) of his field goal attempts. Since being picked up at the start of the 2017 season, Wood has handled long-snapping duties flawlessly. Mor-stead has been a weapon in the field position game with his strong leg and outstanding placement abilities. In ten seasons, he has a 46.9 gross average on 570 punts with a 41.4 net, his net ranking second-all-time in NFL record books. He’s coming off another standout season where he recorded a 46.4 gross punting average and a 43.2 net av-erage, which led the NFL. Return duties will feature a com-petition between Taysom Hill, Austin Carr, Marcus Sherels and Alvin Kamara. Hill posted a 24.9 kickoff return average for New Orleans in 2018. Sherels comes to New Orleans with a career punt return average of 10.6 with five touch-downs in eight seasons in Minnesota.

WR/RS Deonte Harris returned three kickoffs for 90 yards (30.0 avg) and a long of 34 yards. WR Cyril Grayson Jr. returned two kickoffs for a total of 61 yards (30.5 avg) and a long of 40.

In New Orleans’ first game under the NFL’s new rule allowing coaches’ challenges on pass interference calls, both Minnesota and New Orleans challenged pass interference calls. Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer challenged for a possible New Orleans offensive pass interference on a reception by RB Alvin Kamara in the first quarter and Saints HC Sean Payton challenged a third quarter defensive pass interference call on CB Kayvon Webster. Both calls on the field were upheld.

Collectively, Minnesota and New Orleans accounted for 209 penalty yards on 21 penalties. .

MINNESOTA VIKINGS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

SAINTS HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON

“I thought we did a few good things well towards the end of the first half. I like how we handled the two-minute possession offensively, and defensively turned it around and coming up with a stop. Overall, when you watch that game, and I’m sure we will see it on the tape tomorrow, I think the one thing that stood out were yards per play, yards per pass, yards per rush (where) they were better than us tonight. It will be important to look at the tape and make corrections. I was encouraged a couple of times with our return game, specifically kickoff. We will kind of go from there.”

(on Teddy Bridgewater’s progressions tonight) “I felt like he was comfortable, and he got the ball to the right guy pretty quickly. There was some command when he was in there. I think that he and Taysom this training camp, I’ve noticed, a pretty significant difference in how they’ve performed.”

(on Teddy Bridgewater’s comfort level since the last regular season game) “I think there is more to it than that. If you look at that game, we had two tackles that had just got there that week (starting). Sometimes when you’re playing a game at the end of the season where your seeding is locked up, in fairness to him, I would have done things differently. He’s been doing really well.”

(on challenging pass interference) “It was fine. I think we are going to be a little bit more conservative. In a preseason game it is a little more easier to throw a flag. I think the feeling upstairs was there was hand-checking by both receivers. Being on the (competition) committee I just know the approach the league’s going to take when they’re reviewing. They are going to be pretty conservative. They are going to have to see something substantial to overturn it. We’re going to get used to it.”

(on regular season pass interference challenges) “In a regular season game, depending on when and where you’re at in the game, probably in the first half, you’d have to have a strong conviction. It is a lot easier to throw one of those flags preseason week one. I think the one that was different tonight is getting used to, or getting accustomed to, ‘hey, we can challenge that.’ In other words, on the other side of it you’re on the receiving end, say you’re on offense and you come away with a completion and it might be offensive pass interference. Getting to the ball quickly and snapping, there are a handful of nuances that we have to condition ourselves to.”

(on Deonte Harris) “I thought he had a couple of good runs. You could see his speed and change of direction and the result. I was encouraged with that.”

(on Deonte Harris in a game vs practice) “He gained yards. He did a good job. He can run. I will say this, he has been nicked up in practice with a hamstring and it was good to see him back out there. And then not having the amount of time on the pads as some other guys have had, I was encouraged on how he played.”

(on punt returner options) “We’ll see. It’s week one.

(on offensive skill position evaluations) “Honestly, I think it’s easier than you think. We grade all 11 on each play and pretty thoroughly. The thing that keeps us from coming up with a clear grade is that players (are) undecided as to what to do. We know the grade isn’t going to be good, but if you think he’s good enough to do and he didn’t know what to do, that’s frustrating. Our job as coaches is to try to see him be able to do something at full speed so that we can truly grade his talent. We will grade this game much like the regular season game. Our schedule tomorrow will be like the day after a regular season game. The key will be getting the corrections made so we are not repeating them again next week.”

(on perception change in certain areas after seeing guys practice and play in pads) “I think we could tackle better. I think our pad level is going to have to be better. I am sure when we watch the tape there are going to be a number of details that you will want to pull your hair out with and yet, that is why we are watching it. That is why heading into the better part, second full week of camp. We’ll wait to look at it and see what we can see.”

(on the goals for returning starters) “Our first phase tonight we wanted to get somewhere between 12-16 snaps. There are a few players within that first phase that maybe from an injury (they were monitoring or recovering from) we were short of that. When we get into the second phase, we’re looking at about 20-23 snaps. That usually gets you through the second quarter into the third quarter. Then there’s some adjustments there. Then there’s some subtle adjustments, like if a guy is playing nickel in phase two but he’s not in the game because they’re not in nickel a lot, then he’s going to

play more in phase three. I think the challenge always is the kicking game, but for the most part we were good there. We had one snap missing a player and we’ll get that corrected.”

(on Cyril Grayson Jr.’s sideline catch) “I didn’t have a special look at it. He’s doing some good things. There’s some other things he’s got to really work on.”

(on Dan Arnold’s offseason and preseason this year and his development) “He’s still young (and he is) improving. He played a handful of snaps last year, maybe more than he expected. It is still about getting your confidence to a point. It’s born out of past performance. We want to play well, we prepare to play well, but confidence can only be achieved from demonstrated ability. There are a handful of players just like Dan that are working to put together a good game, put together a handful of plays, and have some success. He is real conscientious. He’s hard on himself and you keep developing.”

(on preseason penalties and attacking mental errors) “I’m sure when we put the tape on there will be a few things that’ll jump out. There’s generally one or two that are a little easier.”

(on how to battle rust and touches with Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara) “Every year. Again, there’s a certain amount of plays.”


NEW ORLEANS SAINTS PLAYERS

QB #5 TEDDY BRIDGEWATER

(on how he would rate his own performance) “I’ll leave that to the coaches. I felt like for me my main goal was to create tempo, create rhythm and try to establish my identity. I think we did a good job of doing that.”

(on his confidence level during the game tonight) “The coaches did a great job tonight of calling plays and the guys did a great job of making plays. We were able to put together some good drives, (some good) scoring drives. Of course, we want seven points instead of three, but however we can put points on the board is a blessing.”

(on the two-minute drive at the end of the first half) “It was a great job by the guys. Our defense did a great job of giving us enough time to be able to drive down the field and score. The guys on our side did a great job of understanding what plays we were calling, getting the signal and communicating, running their correct routes. The offensive line did a great job of protecting and all I had to do was sit back and play. It’s something we’ve been working on the last couple of days – the two-minute. To be able to get to rep two-minute in a game-like situation was a great learning opportunity for a lot of guys and when you look around this league a lot of games come down to the two-minute drive and to be able to get points today was big.”

(on what he saw on the back shoulder completion to Cyril Grayson Jr.) “We just wanted to take a shot. Cyril is a guy who can run. We called the play and I said in my mind, ‘Hey, I have my guy there. I like my guys over their guys.’ I just wanted to give him a chance. I did just that.”

(on how it felt facing his former team) “It didn’t feel too strange. It actually felt like one of the old practice days but in a game-like tempo. Just knowing what those guys are going to do and I still remember some of their calls and some of their looks and things like that. It was kind of a plus for me. It just felt like one of the old practice days.”

QB #7 TAYSOM HILL

(on how he felt about his performance) “Overall I felt like it was good. I think like any game or any practice there are plays you would like to have back. I think overall preseason (game) one was good.” (on how he balances his focus at quarterback in the preseason versus his extended role in the regular season) “It’s difficult. Part of training camp is getting ready for the season. I’m trying to make sure I’m ready to do everything else that I will be asked to do during the season, but I still want to make sure that I’m progressing as a quarterback. It’s not an easy thing to manage. I think early in training camp you want to make sure that you’re taking care of all of your responsibilities and then you make this transition to playing quarterback and you want to make sure you continue to develop that way. It’s still early in my career. I’m still figuring out how to manage all of that. I had a lot of fun being able to play quarterback tonight.”

(on what his thought process is when he sees a man-to-man coverage) “Just like any quarterback in the NFL, you see man-to-man, you’re looking for matchups, what the concept is. Outside of that, if somebody doesn’t win, instead of maybe throwing the 50-50 ball or throwing the ball away, why not try to get a few yards to get a second or third and short situation. That was kind of my mindset. Obviously trying to eliminate how many shots that I was taking but making sure that we weren’t having negative plays. That was my mindset going in to the game trying to avoid the second and third and long situations and get us in to reasonable situations.”

(on if it is easier to get into a rhythm when he has more playing time at quarterback) “It’s such a different mindset when you’re playing tight end or full back or whatever it may be. I might be blocking at the point of attack on a run and so much happens in between the tackles and in those runs and my hands get beat up. It’s a physical game. And then you have to step in at quarterback and have to play the violin. It’s a difficult transition. I think a night like tonight where you can focus on just playing quarterback and going through all your pre-snap reads and all of that definitely allows me to get into a rhythm and calm down.”


NEW ORLEANS SAINTS PLAYERS

Linebacker Demario Davis

“On his goals for tonight’s game: “It’s just important to come out and take things from the practice field and into the game. It’s the first time that it’s live action. There is only one way to play this game, and it’s full speed, so you make sure that you have everything in place to play the game full speed. I try to make sure that my eyes are right. I try to make sure that I am playing the game physical. I try to make sure that I use my hands and technique right. Meanwhile, I try to get all of those first game jitters out of the way in time for week one, so that everything is like clockwork.”

On if the team tried anything out tonight that they can use in a regular season game: “You just try to do your job. I think that whatever you can do to do your job as best as possible, that is what you try and do. If you are trying things out, you try them out in practice before you try them out in a preseason game, the different things that you feel like that you can add to your game and work, you want to try them out in the preseason because it’s a good time to try it out.”

Defensive Back Kayvon Webster

On his interference play that was reviewed, but not overturned: “I thought Coach (Payton) made a great call. He was showing he was behind me. I played good technique. I went up for the ball, I looked back with the receiver, both players (going for the ball), played through the hands, it was incomplete. It was a questionable call.”

On if any officials told him what he did wrong in terms of technique following the play: “They just were like, ‘It was a tough call. It was close. They couldn’t overturn it. They threw (the flag) out, saying that it was pass interference.’ We just roll with the punches.”

On if he likes that coaches can challenge interference calls: “Yeah, I love the idea. It’s going to be a lot of game-changing plays with that, challenging for that pass interference. All we can do is keep getting better.”

Linebacker Vince Biegel

On his roles tonight: “They had me playing in a lot of different spots, SAM linebacker, on-the-edge, stacking over the ball, playing in space, and then playing some defensive end on third down with personnel on some pass rush opportunities. I really believe in embracing everything. I feel like I have been having a great camp so far. I did some great things tonight; some things I need to improve on. Overall, that’s how you prove yourself on this roster, showing what you can do on special teams, being able to (play) kind of like a player like Taysom Hill, where you can wear a lot of different roles and be able to provide those things for this team.”

Wide Receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey

On scoring his first touchdown: “It was cool. I have a lot more to prove so that I can make this team. It was cool, but I’ve just got to do a lot more.”

On what he needs to get better at: “All of the little things as a receiver. I need to be more detailed as a receiver. Once I do that, I think that I will be ok.”

On if he was able to show anything tonight: “I was able to show my ability to run with the ball after the catch. I feel like I did that a little bit today…That was a main point of my game at Texas was YAC (yards after the catch), turning small plays into bigger plays.”

Center Erik McCoy

On how Teddy Bridgewater played: “From what I saw, Teddy did a great job. He was going through his read progressions pretty quick. We did not have any fumbled snaps, so that was a good thing. I thought that he did a great job.”

On his goals for tonight: “Just go out and try to solidify myself as a good player. They haven’t seen me in live action yet. I was just trying to make a statement.”

On his nerves tonight compared to practice: “Coming into practice, my nerves were a little high, but not near as much as they were tonight. This was the first game in the dome, the first chance to really show what I have, so nerves were very high to start this game off.”


VIKINGS HEAD COACH MIKE ZIMMER

Opening statement: “I thought it was good the offense going down to score and overcome a second and twenty. Adam (Thielen) made a great catch. I thought Kirk (Cousins) made some really good plays, scrambled with his legs. I was impressed with the communication among the offensive coaches tonight. We got to do a better job with the penalties obviously. Way way too many penalties. The execution with the extra points and field goals were good tonight, so that was good. We got to attack better defensively, but first time out it was good to find out kind of where we are at and where we need to go forward as we keep going in the preseason.”

In terms of overall offensive schemes, how did you feel about that? It looked like all the quarterbacks did pretty well, running backs did well.

“I thought the offense did well when we didn’t have the penalties. We only punted the ball twice. When you can do that and we scored touchdowns in the red zone. So that was a good thing as well. First start, we have a long way to go.”

Do you see that depth from your running backs when you have multiple guys get long runs especially with Dalvin (Cook) out. How encouraging was it to see those guys make plays down the depth chart?

“Yeah, it was good. These guys have some talent, they are still learning, they still got some more teaching we have to do with them, but I thought overall they did a nice job.”

What did you think of Mattison first time out getting a start?

Zimmer: “Yeah, he ran hard, caught the ball a couple times, he did a little bit of everything, but when you stick to it and when you create some things off play, pass those things tend to open up.”

What did you see from the young linemen?”

“It is hard to tell, I know in the middle we need to be better. We gave up too many yards towards the middle so we got to do better than that.”

“What was the thinking on not using Delvin tonight?”

“We didn’t want to put him on the turf.”

“How about (Olabisi) Johnson tonight? He had a nice touchdown catch.”

“Yeah, he did good. He has done good through camp the last couple times.”

With the penalties, certainly it happens early in the preseason, but is that the main takeaway tonight on what needs to be cleaned up?

“Yeah, I heard it at halftime and I heard it in the tunnel. Whatever day it is, we need to work on it Sunday, a lot Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday so we need to clean it up.

Couple for Irv Smith Jr.. Is that just rookie things?

“Getting your hands outside the frame work, you lose a guy and grab him. On the perimeter that is easy to see but we got pass interference penalties, holding on the defensive line, holding on the offensive line. It was just not good, so we need to clean that up if we want to be a good football team.”

On the challenge, I know you didn’t win it, having a chance to see how they will handle the offensive pass interference.

“Yeah, it was a bad challenge. One of the coaches yelled, in that play typically guys are blocking downfield, so I heard him say that and I didn’t see the replay and I threw it out there. I then looked at the replay, and I said “that wasn’t a very good challenge.” I wanted to challenge a couple of those but I really didn’t get the opportunity to.”

Overall, how did you feel Irv looked like. I know he had lots of targets and caught 3 passes.

“He did fine.”

How was it facing Teddy Bridgewater and seeing him again?

Zimmer: “When you are playing somebody it is like every other day. I thought he did well. Threw some nice balls. Glad we were able to get him on the ground a few times. I wish him a lot of success unless he is playing us.”

MINNESOTA VIKINGS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

MINNESOTA VIKINGS PLAYERS

QB #8 Kirk Cousins

“I just thought I’d start by saying Kevin (Stefanaski) did a great job calling the game. Any time you rotate in that many players or quarterbacks and linemen and receivers and running backs, to have that much sustained success throughout the course of the game really says a lot about the way that Kevin called the game and his ability to put players in a position to be successful. So, he did a great job.

“I was really impressed with our running backs. There was just one impressive run after another. There were so many guys that got involved in the game and made plays. The catch that got us down to the one-yard line I thought was outstanding. Not a great throw, but (Adam Thielen) made a really good catch to bring it in.”

“A lot of positives. The only negative I think would just be the penalties. Most of the penalties were post snap and we always talk about pre-snap penalties being the ones we really have to eliminate. The post snap penalties at times you can live with, guys are playing fast and hard. In the preseason you tend to have a lot of penalties called for whatever reason, so well clean that up. I thought overall it was a really good start.”

“(On being more mobile in the pocket) I was happy to do that. When you get man coverage is when you want to do that, or at least be more aware of it so you have a chance to score. The blitzing linebacker got through and that is what really screwed up the play and I could not see the receiver anymore. I just climbed and thought I could take off with man coverage. It was great to be able to do that. Hopefully we’ll be able to do more of that throughout the season.”

“The defenses we’ll be seeing will become more complex, so as the offense we have to be on the details. It was pretty vanilla tonight and that helped us to look more efficient. At the same time, I was just saying that to be able to rotate that many players through four quarters and continue to have sustained success, I think that does say a lot about Kevin’s play calling and about the execution.”

“(on his touchdown drive) It was great to get a third down conversion. It was great to get some explosive plays. It was great to get multiple people involved and ultimately come away with a touchdown. I mean, if you’re only going to play one series in the preseason, it could have been three and out. So, to be able to score, you can’t draw it out much better than that. It’s not a lot to build on. We did the same thing last year against Denver in the preseason. You take from it what it is. It was one drive in the preseason. But if you’re going to have a drive better to go down and score and be that efficient than do anything else.”

“(on coming in for a second series) That’s a question for coach Zimmer. I don’t really know. I knew it was likely going to be a handful of plays. The longer your dive is and the greater number of plays the more likely you are to be out when it’s over.

“(on the new starting center) He was great. I thought he was, as he’s been all throughout practice, in great command and really sharp. No concerns whatsoever.”

“(on Olabisi Johnson’s catch) It was a unique feeling for me because I don’t stand and watch on the sidelines much during the season. It was great for me to have that perspective and to see things from the sideline. Great catch from him. And for Sean (Mannion) to be able to stand in there and take that hit after throwing it, that’s not easy to do. He had great trust that Olabisi would come down with it, and he did. I believe that was a third down. To also be able to convert a third down’s always so important. A lot of good things happening on that play.”

RB #25 Alexander Mattison

(on scoring a touchdown in his first NFL game) “It felt good to get out there. We’ve been working all training camp, so to put that all together was awesome. I don’t take it lightly because as coach told me, ‘it’s not easy to score in this league.’ It’s a great feeling.”

(on finding out he’s the starter) “Earlier today (coach) said you might take the first series and get some play time in there.”

(on being nervous) “Not really. You have the butterflies like every game. If you don’t have those then something might be wrong with you. But I put those aside and do my job every play”

(on his touchdown catch) “It’s just one of those plays that we kind of drew up. Every time we ran it in practice it was that same kind of look. So as soon as I saw the safety bite down a little bit, I knew that I would be open. Kirk put a great ball on me, and I just finished the catch.

(on running back depth) “It’s exciting. The whole room has been exciting. To be a part of that group its nothing but love and brotherhood in that room. To see the performance, we were able to put out there it’s showing our hard work’s paying off. We have more to do to continue to grow and get better.”

TE #84 Irv Smith Jr.

(on playing on his birthday against his dad’s former team) “It was special. We’ve been competing against each other for so long and got to compete against an opponent and it went well.

“I didn’t know too much about the gameplan. Whatever coach wanted me to do, he did a great job of calling the plays tonight and getting everybody the ball. All of us had a lot of catches. There was a lot of production out there.”

(on the direction of the offense) “I feel like this offense and this team is going to be very special. We’re not there yet. Each day we’ve got to work and focus on something. But the fans and everyone got to see what were capable of.”

(on his 21st birthday) “I went and ate with my family and they had a little surprise party. There were a lot of people and it was really good. We ate at the Palace Café on Canal. My mom made a cake too”
