The way Sean connected with his players but in a different style.

The scheme and play-calling but less predictable week to week.

The staff with more input from the group and specialized backgrounds.

I'm so optimistic it's scaring me.
Welcome to my world!!!

None of us know what this team is going to look like this year and beyond so allow me to throw some water on your optimistic fire:

Kellen Moore already making Saints mistake Cowboys fans are familiar with
The Dallas faithful already knew this, but New Orleans may have hired someone who isn't ready to be a head coach.
Moore has taken an egalitarian approach to evaluating Rattler, Shough and Haener. They've taken turns rotating daily, splitting first, second and third-team reps evenly. While some may call this leaving no stone unturned or due diligence, others can rightfully see it as indecisiveness.

There's no denying that Moore is a proven play-caller who understands football's X's and O's. His success as an offensive coordinator in Dallas, and most recently with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, validates that notion. But he's ostensibly scrambling for a signal-caller solution, and the optics paint a picture of someone unsure of themselves.

Edit: That was kind of a jerk move so let me also add a positive spin:
Young Saints defenders making early statement during training camp
New Orleans Saints cornerbacks Kool-Aid McKinstry and Quincy Riley have been among the biggest noisemakers during the first week of the team's training camp.
When talking about Riley, a fourth-round pick (No. 131 overall) in April's NFL Draft, Moore praised his awareness and aggressive playing style.
"He finds the ball and he attacks the football," Moore observed. "That's one thing we saw on film coming into the draft process. He's a ball guy," Moore elaborated.
Moore didn't stop his praise there. He also acknowledged second-year pro McKinstry, a 2024 second-round pick (No. 41 overall), noting, "This has been a big-time camp for Kool-Aid.
"He's played phenomenal," Moore said. "His confidence, every single day, he's just making a ton of plays and to see his ability to transition in the coverage game is really, really good."

Re: 2025 Saints Mini Camp

Who has QB1 edge among Saints' Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough and Jake Haener?
“I know what I bring to the table,” said Rattler, who noted that he has taken second- but not third-team reps on days when first-team reps were allocated elsewhere. “I was confident in what I can do in this competition. I feel like that brings the best out of me. And I feel like throughout this camp, I’ve been the best quarterback on the field.

Rattler is gaining confidence. It appears that he's currently in the lead of this race with Shough struggling.

In case it matters for your posts, Mini-camp has been over for a while. We have another thread for Training Camp contributions. (2025 Saints Training Camp)
