#7---WHY ?

As an offensive weapon, Taysom is at his best behind center. I think it could be an issue that Allen has his QB1 playing in his prime. It’s no longer a situation of supplementing Brees in the twilight of his career or Hill being in the mix, even competing for starting time, in a situation when there isn’t an entrenched starter.

Lining him up elsewhere means taking snaps away from other guys. If you line him wide, who are you taking off the field? At TE, he has Johnson, Moreau, and Graham ahead of him. Might be some opportunities that can be designed in the running game over the next couple of weeks, but from what I’ve found, only 7% of his offensive snaps have been in the backfield - his lowest percentage by position.

I think there will be situational opportunities to feature Hill more, but this offense has a lot of weapons this season. Might be they need to let him take over kick returns - I really don’t like Shaheed in that role since he is an emerging WR.
