Roman Harper hopes he can improve the air quality in the New Orleans Saints' locker room this season - metaphorically speaking, that is.
''The younger guys, they need to feel success, they need to know what it smells like,'' Harper said, alluding to the mantra, ''Smell greatness,'' from New Orleans' 2009 championship season.
The Saints - who open training camp in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on July 27 - haven't entirely stunk up the Superdome in recent seasons; they've been competitive in many games.
But in going 7-9 in both 2014 and '15, they've fallen far short of the standard they set when they made the playoffs four times in five seasons from 2009 to 2013.
