Taysom Hill Should Be Ready for Action Against Seahawks
By Michael Luciano
Those who aren't fans of the New Orleans Saints' Taysom Hill package on offense should avert their eyes when they take on the Seattle Seahawks.
While Teddy Bridgewater will get the start at quarterback on Sunday, he didn't do much to inspire confidence during their loss against the Los Angeles Rams.
Normally, the Hill plays are total gimmicks, as taking the ball out of the hands of Drew Brees and making him line up at wide receiver to run a read option doesn't make a ton of sense, but it makes Sean Payton look smart.
If Bridgewater starts to falter against another solid Pete Carroll defense, maybe a goofy Hill play could be what gives the Saints offense a spark. While he is a novelty, Hill is a phenomenal athlete, and can be used as a receiver, runner, or passer to catch Seattle off guard.
Could we have a QB controversy in New Orleans? Probably not, but Hill could still be a nice little wrinkle in the Saints' gameplan.
