3. One day's playback:
Continuing with the special team theme, we make this one rare. In fact, in the current seven years, I have covered Saints Training Camp, and I don't believe I've seen it once during practice. In the goal drill, an extra point to block. During Charlie Smyth's kick training and heading to the East goal position, the first generation of the day was always an extra point, and mostly taken for granted. Not on this day. Safety and blocking kick expert Justin Reid races from the right edge and blocks the sounds throughout the facility with that force, like thunder, attracting oos and aaaaahs from the large crowd. Reid has developed the habit of doing this in his NFL career. Reid keeps an eye on capturing the number and long snapper movements and has achieved results through his careful preparation. Two years ago, he was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, who blocked a 38-yard attempt by Broncos Wil Lutz in Week 8. He also blocked a shot as a member of the Houston Texans. However, the most interesting facts about Reed not only stopping kicks, but also handling kickoffs and extra points in the spare and start roles. When Harrison Butker fell down due to injury, he started full-time when he implemented a new kick-off rule a year ago. Reid can kick, cover and make tackles, making him one of the most versatile special teams in the NFL.
