Saints second-round QB Tyler Shough said he’s finding a lot of similarities to HC Kellen Moore ‘s offensive system compared to what he ran during his college career at Louisville, Texas Tech, and Oregon.
“Yeah, a lot of familiarity,” Shough said, viaEric Williams of Fox Sports. “ Obviously, it’s all new terminology, but [it’s just] different ways to get things done. From a run support perspective and passing game, there’s different things. But all of it is pretty much the same thing.”
Shough said Derek Carr‘ s decision to retire hasn’t impacted his approach and he’s staying focused on learning New Orleans’ playbook.
“I’m treating it the same way as if he [Carr] was there or not,” Shough said. “I’ve got to continue to learn the playbook and grow. And I’m going to compete regardless, whatever the situation is. That’s my focus right now. It’s a great opportunity.”
