During the 2007 and 2012 preseasons, the Saints had an extra game due to their participation in the Hall of Fame game.

“I don’t think you can get by in this league without a guy with that personality”, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “This group will sink or swim on its own merit”.

The Saints took Grayson out of Colorado State with the notion he could one day replace Drew Brees.

Fourteen years later, he’s evolved into one of the best wide receivers of the modern era. Webb should be available for the first preseason game August. 13 against the Saints.

Baltimore made changes in the offseason, when offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak left for the Denver Broncos and ex-Bears coach Marc Trestman arrived to coordinator the Ravens’ offense.

The New Orleans offense went three-and-out on its first two possessions before finally having a 10 play, 77-yard scoring drive in the second quarter. Cooks looked the part early but struggled with consistency and missed six games with a thumb injury in catching 50 passes for 550 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterbacks Luke McCown and Ryan Griffin are also on the roster. But, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN, rookie quarterback Bryce Petty will see the most action Thursday night.

“I don’t want to hold on”, Smith said.

With his 69-yard catch and run touchdown in double overtime, No. 89 ended the contest and helped send the Panthers to the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Hocker was given the second chance for a FG thanks to an interception by Saints rookie Damian Swann who picked off a throw by Schaub at mid-field. New Orleans actually took the lead on a 3-yard touchdown run by Marcus Murphy with 1:56 left in the game after an interception of third-string Ravens quarterback Bryn Renner.

Schaub was also invited to the Pro Bowl in 2012 and boasts four seasons with at least 4,000 passing yards in Houston.

“I’m definitely ready to play someone else”, she said Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis.

That’s what training camp is all about, getting things right. He allowed Ravens end Elvis Dumervil to blow past him on a third down, forcing McCown into an incomplete pass. On the second series, Strief couldn’t clear any space for running back Mark Ingram on a third-and-1. At the end of the first quarter he found Michael Campanaro on a post route for a 45-yard touchdown, capping off an 8-play drive that gave the Ravens a14-0 lead.
