Orlando – New Orleans Saints Owner Tom Benson and his wife, Executive Officer Gayle Benson, aren’t on the sideline during the players’ stretch period, and General Manager Mickey Loomis also is absent due to another assignment (the Senior Bowl, in Mobile, Ala.).
And, too, that portion of practice took place without the musical accompaniment that usually is provided by Director of Player Engagement/D.J. Fred McAfee.
Otherwise, though, confusing the NFC Pro Bowl practice for a Saints workout isn’t a monumental stretch, given the distinct New Orleans flavor on the field Wednesday at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex.
