We all know the saying - three strikes and you're out. 

That's the attitude that the New Orleans Saints displayed earlier today after they decided to kick out rookie OL Trevor Panning from practice after he started a fight for the third time in the last three days. 

"We don't have time for that," Saints coach Dennis Allen explained. "I sent two guys in today and we've got to get our work done. We've got to learn as a team how to compete and how to play and how to practice and push ourselves to the limit but yet not take it over the edge.

"... It's not unusual for something like that to occur in training camp. It's certainly something we don't want to see happen. It'll be addressed and we'll move forward."

Panning was selected by New Orleans in the 1st round of the 2022 NFL Draft. 

"It's football; we're competing," Penning said Monday. "It's a tough game for tough people and you've got to be able to take that. There's no bad blood between us. We're just competitors competing."
