WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The wait is over.
Football is finally back for Saints fans, at least the ones who haven’t made the trip up to The Greenbrier resort to check in on New Orleans, as Sean Payton, Drew Brees and company begin their on-field preparation in earnest for the 2015 season.
The Saints’ preseason opener against the Ravens at 6:30 p.m. Thursday is a different kind of football, only the first step, a game more about evaluation than emerging victorious.
“The most important thing we have to do in this camp is find the right 53,” Payton said.
