And after a night of following the developments of the storm, Saints director of operations James Nagaoka, who oversees tour de france history completed all the logistics of the team's day-to-day needs, decided it was best to leave earlier.
"He's been doing this for us since Sean and Mickey have been together," Bensel tour de france history completed said. "He's the best at doing this in the NFL. He has all these contingency tour de france history completed plans done. With him, it's like bam, bam, bam."
The Saints considered flying directly to Nashville and practicing there. But the team's familiarity with Cincinnati and Paul Brown Stadium, along with the availability of hotels rooms and the proximity of Cincinnati to Nashville made the decision practical.
