What's the Saints' approach to lofty expectations? 'Prove them right'

Outside a couple of injury concerns, the New Orleans Saints appear to be in an extremely good place as training camp practice opened Thursday morning (July 26) at their Metairie facility.

But Sean Payton has told me several times in the past, often with a wry grin, "Larry, there's always something to be concerned about."

The one major distraction following the Saints, barring anything catastrophic, will surround the team's rise into the NFC hierarchy and Super Bowl conversation. It's been a few years since the Saints have needed to manage this "problem."

The Saints stormed to an 11-5 record and a berth in the NFC Divisional playoffs last year.
