Somehow I missed this on Monday but Mike Triplett of the Times-Picayune is reporting that the New Orleans Saints will come to town for a few days of joint practice in advance of their August 22 preseason game with the Texans.

At any rate, it will be fun to have the Saints in town. They're the best NFC team within a 6 hour drive of Houston and as a fan, it's always fun to see another team up close and personal in a setting that's far different than Sunday noon.

************************************
The Examiners AJ is on top of the story again with this scoop about NOLAs
visit to Houston several days before their preseason game with the Texans
for some joint practices, which very possible would include some intersquad scrimmages. The best Texans practice I ever saw was when the Broncos were
here several years ago for a similar week of training when the Broncos kicked the Texans tail badly. This matchup should be a lot more even.
BTW, the second paragraph up there includes a little dig by AJ for our local
Cowboy fans.
