Three Thoughts: Robinson, Lelito play big in Saints final preseason game | wwltv.com New Orleans

Three thoughts from the Saints’ 24-21 loss to the Dolphins:

Saints leave Miami with a loss in final preseason game | wwltv.com New Orleans

Drew Brees wore a uniform -- and even eye black -- but never played. Ryan Tannehill also watched from the sideline, laughing at the Kiss Cam when it showed during a timeout on the scoreboard video screen.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Pat Devlin threw for two scores and his 56-yard touchdown to Marvin McNutt lifted the Miami Dolphins over the New Orleans Saints, 24-21, in the two teams' preseason tune-up.

Eddie George questions motives of concussion plaintiffs | ProFootballTalk

"Was the motive from the players’ side finding a real solution to concussions, or is it about receiving the money? Because if you have symptoms as a player, and you’re going through issues, with the post-career, and you’re having issues with concussions, what is the money going to solve? What is $100,000 going to solve for you? Is it going to provide the care, are you going to find solutions to your problems? That’s what kind of bothered me about the whole situation: What is the real motive behind it? Because there are some players out there, quite frankly, that could be playing the game of trying to get the money," George said.
