I wonder if Chase still eats his boogers?
The New Orleans Saints had their first skirmish of minicamp Wednesday after quarterback Chase Daniel took exception to linebacker Curtis Lofton getting too close during practice.
Quarterback Chase Daniels calls wide receiver Lance Moore in for a consult during passing drills during the second day of the New Orleans Saints minicamp on Wednesday. Later in the practice Daniel and linebacker Curtis Lofton got involved in a little skirmish.
During team drills, Lofton blitzed and would have sacked Daniel on the play. But it became apparent, Daniel wanted the linebacker to stay clear during the non-contact drill.
After the play, Daniel flipped the ball in Lofton's direction with some choice words.
Lofton took issue to the gesture, and before long Saints right guard Jahri Evans came to Daniel's defense, setting off a skirmish among several offensive and defensive players.
"We really only have three quarterbacks right now. And we really don't like to get hit at all because the slightest of hits could cause a serious injury as we have seen," Daniel said. "It wasn't necessarily in frustration. I was just mad that he literally ran into me. We cleared it up, we're good. Everything is good to go.
"I think it was just hot and we were in the middle of practice, emotions flying everywhere and that's what happened."
In the midst of the scrum, Lofton was knocked the ground, as the players wrestled about the field.
"Out of the whole scrum and (fight) that happened, that was the best part that I saw was just guys sticking up,' Daniel said. "Jimmy Graham was in there and Jahri Evans, sooner or later there were like 30 people and I just said 'Hey I'm out of here. I'm going back to the huddle to ready for the next play."
