The New Orleans Saints have drawn a lot of attention with rookie passer Spencer Rattler, but the pause button was hit on the hype after the team’s first OTA practice. Though his long-term outlook is unlikely to be impacted by a single day.
, the hype was growing for the New Orleans Saints’ newest signal caller. Rookie Spencer Rattler completed 11 of his 12 passes and looked very comfortable getting in and out of the huddle. Unfortunately, the NFL is not a linear experience.
Now before anyone hits the panic button on Rattler, it is of value to keep in mind that this was the first time he was working in this environment. Veterans were present, he was working with the third-team and of course the demands of install are greater than they were in rookie minicamps. This all part of it. Re-huddling at this point of the offseason is far from out of the ordinary. Head coach Dennis Allen even commented that the team was forced to do so notably less than is typical for it being this early in the process.
The biggest concern that should be tracked as things continue was around compounding miscues. Rattler placed a pass too high for running back Jacob Kibodi. The pass-catching back skied up to try to make the play, tipping the ball up in the air. The ball then fell into the waiting arms of cornerback Faion Hicks who would have had a clear path to the endzone.
