Today at Saints camp: Third team quarterback Tyler Palko struggled. He threw four interceptions in this afternoon's practice. Second teamer Mark Brunell has had his moments in Jackson, but he played poorly in Saturday's scrimmage. Brunell was only 11 of 20 for 42 yards, but he was playing with the second team offense against the first unit defense.
Saints not playing against Arizona: Wide receivers Marques Colston and Devery Henderson, running back Deuce McAlllister, tight end Jeremy Shockey, defensive backs Josh Bullocks, Tracy Porter, and Mike McKenzie, linebacker Jonathan Vilma, and defensive tackle Brian Young.
Payton said all nine should be ready to practice Saturday when the Saints return to two a days in Jackson.
Remember this: If Brett Favre is traded to Tampa Bay, his first game as Bucs quarterback is in the Superdome September 7th.
