PLAYERS: David Hawthorne,  Roman Harper,  Lance Moore,  Travaris Cadet,  Jonathan Casillas,  Malcolm Jenkins,  Akiem Hicks

Saints interim coach Aaron Kromer joked on Wednesday that the team's injury report was so long he couldn't keep track with all the names.

Starting weakside linebacker David Hawthorne (hamstring), starting strong safety Roman Harper (hip), reserve defensive end Turk McBride (ankle), receiver Lance Moore (hamstring) and running back/receiver Travaris Cadet (shoulder) missed practice.

Linebacker Jonathan Casillas, who missed Sunday's loss with a neck injury, was limited Wednesday.

Free safety Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (ankle) were listed on the report but both practiced fully.

Saints interim Head Coach Aaron Kromer: “We’re not the same team”

Via 60 Max Power O  |  October 03, 2012
It’s a hard act to follow when the GM, Head Coach, and Assistant Head Coach have put together one of the model franchises in the NFL, however, none of them can’t be in touch with the team due to the bounty suspensions. Interim Head Coach Aaron Kromer is going through just that. Sean Payton who is largely credited for the building of Saints into a NFL powerhouse, can’t even...

For Drew Brees & His Saints It’s THE WRONG KIND OF SPIRAL

Via USA Sports 360  |  October 03, 2012
Written By,Clifford Santa Monica True, the Saints are an extremely disappointing oh-and-four to start the season. But the 1975 Baltimore Colts started one-and-four as I recall, yet still made it to the AFC Title game where they eventually got stomped by the Steelers 40-14, I think. But their poor start was probably more daunting both because the talent on each side of the ball during...

Johnny Unitas’ son sent Drew Brees a letter congratulating him on tying his father’s record

There was at least one bright spot for the Saints in the loss to the Packers on Sunday. During the game, Drew Brees tied NFL great Johnny Unitas’ record of 47 consecutive games with at least one touchdown. Brees now has a chance to break the record that has stood for 52 years this Sunday when the Saints play the Chargers. And all he has to do is do what he does best, throw a touchdown...

Saints Nation: Was Losing Carl Nicks the Reason for Offense Struggling?

Via The Saints Nation  |  October 05, 2012
I was perusing the PFF grades through the first four weeks of the season today and I came across some interesting numbers. Of all the guards in the NFL, Jahri Evans is currently ranked 5th, Ben Grubbs is currently 8th and Carl Nicks is currently ranked 16th. All things being equal, would I prefer to have kept Nicks? Of course. But his loss, at least so far, isn't as pronounced...

Drew Brees, Saints Struggling To Find Spark After Horrible Start

Let's see, where should I start?  Worst run defense in the league, pass defense ranks within the last ten teams in the league, only six total team sacks, no running game, numerous mental lapses… bottom line is the New Orleans Saints just aren’t really good right now and things won’t get any easier for them as the season progresses.Coming into the season, I knew the defense...

Graham, who played only one season of college football at Miami after four years of basketball, says he knows Gates paved the way for him. Brees says Gates was ''an experiment'' when he joined the...

The New Orleans Saints continue to try and upgrade their roster, as they recently worked out former Seattle and Cleveland quarterback/receiver Seneca Wallace. Saints interim coach Aaron Kromer said Wallace, who has played nine seasons, worked out at quarterback.

Saints Nation: Scouting the Chargers

Via The Saints Nation  |  October 04, 2012
The Saints are 0-4 and the only thing we have to really root for at this point is Brees getting the consecutive games with a passing touchdown record. He's currently tied with Johnny Unitas and one touchdown pass in this game will give him what he needs to eclipse it. So who will be the man to catch that touchdown pass? I'm going with Jimmy Graham. Of course while the Saints...
