We are only a few days into New Orleans Saints training camp, but the creativity the Saints have shown on offense is encouraging. Proper execution is obviously required though the intention is the true story here. Stale play calling was one of the biggest causes of frustration last season. Early signs show offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. is making an effort to use his weapons in less-traditional ways.
Rashid Shaheed was one of the biggest victims of this a season ago. It’s just one example, but at a recent training camp practice Shaheed was seen motioning into the backfield to run a route on a play. That’s not something you likely would have seen last year.
