Rookie Report
Say this for newbie corner Patrick Robinson: he can take criticism. After suffering more abuse than a Bourbon Street hotel room in the Saints' preseason loss to Pats last Thursday, Robinson was further lambasted by Williams, who on Saturday ripped Robinson for not knowing how to play football. "I don't have any trust in him," the coach said.
If that sounds harsh, you should hear the things Williams says to Robinson, a first rounder pick out of Florida State, out of microphone-shot. "Behind the scenes he gets it every second of every day," said Williams, adding that he partly blasts Robinson to steel his psyche. Since his public polemic, Williams has been pleased with the maturity he's seen out of Robinson, who'd later call the tough love constructive. Robinson showed more unflappability in an 11-on-11 drill Tuesday, returning an interception by third-string quarterback Chase Daniel for a touchdown. "Patrick is a great kid, and he's gonna help us a lot," said Williams, who strains to note the record his doghouse has in turning pups into pit bulls. "Tracy Porter was my whipping boy last year, and he turned out pretty good, didn't he?"
NFL Team Reports: NFC South - NFL - Yahoo! Sports:
Second-year OLBs Jonathan Casillas(notes) and Stanley Arnoux(notes) have been impressive, taking advantage of extra snaps at weakside linebacker last week while starter Scott Shanle(notes) was nursing a sore knee. Neither Casillas nor Arnoux is likely to emerge as the starter on the strong side, but both could get on the field in passing situations as blitzers. They also should make an impact on special teams, where the coaches hope to improve their coverage units. Casillas (6-1, 227) is a dynamic athlete who saw a decent amount of playing time last year and made two starts. Arnoux (6-0, 232) missed his entire rookie season with a torn Achilles but is now 100 percent and making up for lost time. Arnoux played middle linebacker at Wake Forest and has the frame and versatility to play all three spots. …
The defense was declared the unofficial winner of the weekend scrimmage. Although QB Drew Brees(notes) & Co. marched downfield for a touchdown against the second-string defense at the start of practice, none of the offensive units scored again in the 80-minute session. The defense was credited with six sacks, and MLB Jonathan Vilma’s(notes) strip of rookie TE Jimmy Graham(notes) was a highlight. — Mike Triplett
