LSU defensive tackle Bernard Gooden has been one of the pleasant surprises of preseason camp as the South Florida transfer has constantly shown the ability to get in the opposing backfield. Gooden is an undersized defensive tackle, just like interior defensive line coach Kyle Williams. Gooden says that Williams’ past experience can help improve his game.
Gooden totaled 10 tackles for loss and one sack with South Florida last season.
The Saints will have a joint practice with the Rams today in Carson, California. A chance for the starters to get quality reps. Second-year wide out Bub Means has been placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury and he’s done for the season.
