Canal Street Chronicles
Team bonding is a clear priority.
Since the New Orleans Saints hired head coach Kellen Moore, the topic of culture and team morale has always been an important conversation. The Saints are coming off a highly disappointing season and an era of football filled with turmoil. This type of feeling has a chance of lasting a bit, so when a new coach comes in, one of their jobs is to get everyone back on track and bought in. With Kellen Moore and much of the coaching staff filled with former players, doing what is best for the players themselves is a massive priority. This can be taking off certain days to be with family, not overworking player in practice, or having some days dedicated to team building. Today was one of those days. The Saints and Kellen Moore have opted to take the team on a bonding outing rather than have the last day of mini-camp.
Cancelling the last day of mini-camp came as a bit of a surprise, but Kellen Moore knows what he is doing. If the prior practices were underwhelming or had many issues, cancelling today would not have happened. Clearly, the Saints liked what they saw from the team and felt they earned a team outing.
The last team outing was a paintball day, and it has not yet been revealed what the team will do next.
