Saints | Martez Wilson seeing time at DE Thu, 24 May 2012 10:04:07 -0700 New Orleans Saints LB Martez Wilson saw plenty of time during organized team activities Thursday, May 24, at defensive end.

"It's important to Drew, but it's important to our team. The magnitude of this contract is going to impact our team for a long period of time, so we've got to get it right.

"(Carmichael's) in tune with Drew, and he's in tune with Sean and what he is looking for offensively in terms of rhythm as well as scheme," Loomis said. "Sean's been able to mentor him as he's come along. He's grown each year, and he did a fantastic job last year when Sean was down. If not for that, I think that would've been an uncertainty with us - we'd think Pete could do a good job, but now we know." However, Brees is in a contract standoff with the team currently and isn't working out.
