Episode 774
Saints HC Kellen Moore, QB Tyler Shough and DE Cam Jordan spoke to the media Wednesday. Here's what you missed: Moore: - RT Taliese Fuaga (ankle), RB Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle), WR Chris Olave (back) and S Justin Reid (knee) missed practice due to injury - QB Tyler Shough's growth since last time facing Bucs in Week 8 (Shough's first meaningful regular season action) - Need to generate explosive run plays - WR Devaughn Vele tried to get depth on a crossing route on intercepted two-point conversion attempt, allowing the defender to jump the route - Vele's role grew naturally with roster moves, and the team views him as an ideal Z receiver - The team was cautiously optimistic about projecting rookie CB Quincy Riley's role, but is impressed by his ball skills - The team plans to continue developing Shough, but a decision on next season's QB plan is not imminent - K Charlie Smyth will start against Tampa Bay - Taysom Hill's lack of touches against Miami was caused by in-game situations, not game plan Shough: - Needing to start faster offensively and earning the right to run tempo - Thoughts on Vele's improvements and growth within the system after season-best performance against Miami - Thoughts on Bucs defense and what it will take to be successful against Tampa Bay - Being recruited by former LSU HC Ed Orgeron - Being inspired by Bucs QB Baker Mayfield's career path - Outlook on the rest of the season after being eliminated from playoff contention Jordan: - Continuing to show sack production in year 15 after recent down years - Difficulty of appreciating personal production despite losing games - Desire to play more snaps, while focusing on controlling what he can control - Thoughts on the future (staying in New Orleans, signing elsewhere or retiring) - Motivation to continue playing with no possibility of a playoff berth Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
