"We're just not executing and playing at a high enough standard, and we've got to find a way to move the football consistently, protect the football and score points, Moore said. "And so, this is a pure full offensive evaluation point. ... I think we just got to evaluate this whole thing in the next 48 hours, find the solutions that give us the best chance to win."
"Rattler has struggled in his past two games, turning the ball over four times in a loss to the Chicago Bears last week and twice in the first half against the Buccaneers. He was also sacked seven times in his past six quarters. Moore pulled Rattler for Shough after the Saints' offense lost 7 yards on their opening drive of the second half."
The Saints entered quarterback limbo after coach Kellen Moore benched Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough during a 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore did not commit to a starter for the upcoming game against the Rams and said the decision would be made early in the week. He called for a full offensive evaluation, emphasizing the need to move the football consistently, protect the ball and score points, and promised decisions within 48 hours. Rattler had won the starting job in camp but struggled recently with six turnovers over two games and seven sacks in six quarters. Moore said he avoids flip-flopping quarterbacks but acknowledged collective offensive adjustments are necessary.
