Re: Haener or Rattler
Underhill eluded to it earlier but Rattler is used to playing with bad o lines.
What makes him exciting is his ability to move away from pressure to buy time. Something Carr rarely did this season to help out his oline. |

Re: Haener or Rattler
Something that Carr never had the ability to do. Not surprising.

Re: Haener or Rattler
Well, it's looking like we will see three letters in the near future that we have never seen in NOLA:

Re: Haener or Rattler
Anyone catch the Niners/Hawk game?
Notice Purdy's footwork (extending plays) & how he's not afraid to make that contested pass. My hope is that Rattler can eventually develop like that. |

However, I wouldn't expect Kubiak to call many designed runs or even RPO's for Rattler since his backup wouldn't be able to run that game plan. At least there's nothing I've seen from Haener that says he can. |

Re: Haener or Rattler
In this case, yes. To a degree. The game day backup needs to be able to execute the game plan designed for the starter. That's why most every team has a backup with similar basic skillsets. That's the reason why Haener was Carr's game day backup. If Rattler becomes a fulltime starter some day I would expect we had a similar type of QB backing him up and the game planning could include a full spectrum of RPO type stuff. It makes perfect sense. But the playbook that Kubiak designed this year was based upon Carr's strengths and that will still be the main characteristic. Sure, they could add a twist here and there, but they aren't going to completely revamp everything at this point for Rattler. They simply do not have the time to do that based upon the CBA alone.
