The Saints are working out former Chiefs running back Darrel Williams today after yesterday’s preseason win against Kansas City 26-24. Williams spent his first four seasons with the Chiefs before playing with the Cardinals last year.

He could be competing for significant playing time with Alvin Kamara being suspended for the first three games of the season and rookie running back Kendre Miller leaving yesterday’s game due to a knee injury. Undrafted rookie Ellis Merriweather filled in for Miller and coach Dennis Allen thinks he had a great game when his name was called.

Cut 20 (13) “…it was a good run.”

The Saints were able to score on their first three possessions and jump out to a 17-0 lead yesterday, but Allen says the level of play after that was not what it could be.

Cut 16 (10) “…executed very well.”

Saints fans got to see their new quarterback on Sunday with Derek Carr taking snaps for the first drive. He went 6 for 8 for 70 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs first team defense. He only took 12 snaps, but Carr says he feels great with his new team.

Cut 18 (08) “…that scenario.”

LSU football’s defensive coordinator Matt House spoke on Saturday and more players will available to the media after today’ practice. The AP poll was also released at 11 this morning and LSU comes in ranked at No. 5. Georgia comes in at the top spot after back to back national championships. Alabama is ranked at No. 4, Tennessee at No. 12, Ole Miss at No. 22 and Texas a&M is at No. 23.

LSU’s week one opponent is ranked at No. 8 and the game will be the highest ranked matchup in week 1 out of all games in the country. The game is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 3 in Orlando, and for more information on LSU football go to TigerRag.com.
