Saints offense showing creativity early in training camp

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.
