Palko to play after Brees against Buffalo
"Tyler Palko, the western Pennsylvania native who starred in college at Pitt, is getting an early shot to show Saints head coach Sean Payton what he can do in the NFL.
Payton has decided that Palko, an undrafted rookie whom the Saints coach called personally before bringing him to New Orleans, will follow starter Drew Brees off of the bench Friday night and may play as much as three quarters against the Buffalo Bills.
"I'm anxious to see his development -- his progressions, ball security, how he handles his decision-making, and seeing if can move the ball while he's in there," Payton said after Thursday evening's practice at Millsaps College, the team's training camp home. "I just want to know what I have with the player as best I can and the only way to do that is by playing him."
This week, the Saints signed a fifth quarterback when they brought in Matt Baker, who played in college at North Carolina and last year spent time with the Dallas Cowboys."

I like this idea, it gives the coaches a chance to see what he can do, and give him more than just a few drives.
