Creativity in the offense

Looks like we are getting back to being a creative offense this year under sneaky Pete.

This is great news. I kept wondering last season why we didn't use Rashid Shaheed out of the backfield more.

Kamara can now go back to doing what made him special, and I believe he will shine.

Recently read somewhere that the lack of creativity was due to the lack of perimeter options in the offense. Just before Brees retired and even last year as Olave and Shaheed were figured out it was MT and nobody else. Perhaps you could have done more things w/ Kamara if we had stronger backfield options but it was only Ingram as a secondary runner.

This year we've added TE's, building on Thomas returning Olave and Shaheed, and then adding two RB's which gives Kamara a chance to be more of a receiver. Saints have far more short area options than they've had in a while.
