Overview

  • Kellen Moore has kept Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough and Jake Haener in an open competition by splitting first-team reps daily and delaying a starter announcement.
  • Rattler has led camp drills with the most pass attempts and highest completion rate and has publicly asserted his confidence in being the top performer.
  • Shough has seen early first-team action but has struggled with consistency and accuracy, casting doubt on his bid for the starting role.
  • Moore’s surprise August 3 scrimmage featured live play calls with no script to evaluate each quarterback’s real-time decision making.
  • The Saints’ offense has continued to struggle building rhythm in practice and has regularly been outplayed by the defense.
