Tyler Shough talks 1st NFL Win | Saints-Panthers Postgame | 2025 NFL Week 10

How does your first one as a starter feel? Uh, just a great feeling. I think my favorite moment is just seeing everybody in the locker room dapping everybody up and uh just kind of the work that everyone’s kind of put in at this point and um but just just a great team win. I think like see how it hit it and I mean the defense, special teams, everybody had an impact on the game and um it was just a it was just a great feeling. you take us through the touchdown Jan there at the end like you hear the play call. What’s kind of going through your mind? Yeah, I mean he was the he was the last ball the last guy the ball was supposed to go to on that play. Um you know we’re really trying to work the work the field side there on a on a kind of high low with a with a dig and a shallow and um he just he slipped out on a scramble drill and it was just a really good play by him finishing it off. So um I thought the O line played really well all day. Yeah, I mean they’re a really good front and you know we were kind of down with some injuries so some of those guys really stepped up um just awesome and Dylan and so I was really proud of them. So in terms of what was working with the scramble drill today because a few of them Yeah, I think the guys just I mean we put a point of emphasis on it in practice and I think you know guys were just doing a really good job of getting open. Um and I think there’s a lot you know a bunch more times where I could have found them. Um left some stuff on the field there. So kind of clean clean that up and you know I’ll be better. Sticking with the Joan game a little bit. How was the 52 y like initially supposed to go? Um man that was a earlier on in the game. I mean once again I think it was we were trying to get it to him a little bit and it just kind of happened that way. Um and he just like I said he he was just familiar. I think just having that chemistry with him um he did a really good job of of extending it. Was there any point like during that play when you were scrambling around that you thought about just running it yourself saw where he was or were you always just like I know where Jan will be so it I I think at at that point you’re trying to get yards with your legs and if you you know you’re always trying to make a play down the field with your arm and then if you can’t get it then you’re going to go run for it. So there’s kind of a little bit of both to it. Um and um he just kind of flashed and he did a really good job. Did you want to play the touchdown too? That’s a big big moment on the game from the outside in terms of like it’s third down. If you guys get it, you’re in good shape and the touch obviously. So like do you did you feel any of that in the moment or did you kind of just focus on it like process? No, we knew we knew going into the drive that we had to we had to be super focused on our details. We had to finish the drive. We had to get points on the board and whatever that looks like. But I was just focused on that play. Um it just kind of happened that way and obviously it was a great great finish and great stamp to it. But um at the end of the day what you know I’ve been preaching is just just do your job and and focus on those little things because then that’s how those big plays come. You know it’s nothing more than it was that just we kind of happened in practice. I mean I don’t think he’s ever gotten the ball up to that point on that play and um it was a really good job by by him. Were there any areas in last week’s game that you felt like noticeable improvements for this one that you read something better I think it’s just continual reps, continual, you know, progression, getting better every single day. And um, you know, like I said, I think I can continue to get better and be better. So, I think I mean, we did a really good job running the ball. You know, there was a big emphasis on that to kind of continue to to set that up. And, um, yeah, I was just really proud of the the offense and the whole team. I think just having some urgency, you know, each week, having having a little bit of juice, a little bit of swagger, um, kind of showed up. Chris on his touchdown said that it was like He thought initially that they covered two, but it turned to man. Did you read that the same way? Do you think they went cover two first or like you just kind of figure that saw there? Yeah, I saw him spin down late, so I knew I had an opportunity. I was thinking probably going to be Shell and um but I I mean I trust him. He was going to go win, especially, you know, him down the field. Um he’s such a dynamic player, so he did a really good job just kind of fighting through the contact and making a play um and finishing it. He said that he was having some anxiety before the game just what happened last year. Did you tell that from him? Did you say anything to him? How did you kind of process that? I just you know I just was we were going about just the game plan just the details. I think whenever you can kind of focus on your task at hand. Um I think we all have I mean there’s no telling what people are going through off the field and um battling injuries, you know, all that stuff. And I think whenever you can kind of come together and just have fun um it makes it super easy. But super proud of him. Just kind of I know it can’t it wasn’t easy for sure, but we were just just talking the whole time, texting you each other last night about what we’re going to do and and all that stuff. So was really happy for him and you know obviously he was had a great day. You may have answered this, but just being a starting quarterback, how does it feel? How good does it feel? Yeah, I mean, you know what I said to Catherine was just it it was a great feeling in the locker room. I think with everybody just kind of dancing. you’re having fun in there and but it just kind of came down to just playing complimentary football and we played together. I think those great things happened and especially against a good team. But for me, it’s just been so fun just kind of learning every single day each week kind of the formula uh for success and obviously we got to keep competing and keep repeating that point of learning so many more comfortable have you got with like navigating the pocket keeping your eyes down field things that I exactly what you said I think navigating the pocket keeping your eyes down field and trying to trying to dish it out you know there’s certain field element between when you run scramble you know hit the check down but continual progression I got to continue to be better at it um it’s going to um only you know that’s my that’s my job you know I got to continue to do that so I was really proud of those guys the O line I think the pocket and I just our communication we can we can continue to be better with it. Um so yeah I mean I think it was a good step and you know we got a lot more to go. What do you make of the physicality the run game had today? Yeah I mean that was that was big time. I think just Alvin you know his explosiveness his explosiveness the the O line their physicality against that front was I was that was unbelievable especially just to come in there you know like I said banged up maybe not a lot of reps. Um, so this just super happy for them and uh I think all those guys, you know, Deb and everybody Tason finishing at the end. Um, with the four-minute drive that wasn’t easy, so they did a really good job. There have been a lot of quarterbacks here obviously that come off the field on third down or in the red zone for Taesm, but I’m just wondering, you know, you’re kind of going through it for the first time. How you process that? Is that a weird feeling for you? Like how do you go about that? No, I think I think he he does a really good job presenting, you know, just you got to think, you know, and I think I I can do the same, you know, with my legs, but he’s just a really he’s a strong runner, man. He’s he’s freaking tough and um but I think it’s like it’s part of it, you know. I mean, whatever we can do to get first down and score, you know, that’s awesome. So, I mean, super happy for him and and obviously the element that he’s added for us. And did it mean anything to you that like you know it’s third and 12 with the Jawan play that they called the passing play there trying to go for it rather than just you know hand it off or does that show any trust in you as a Yeah, I think it just you know Kell knew the the importance of just finishing that drive and and and converting there and um we’re always I mean my mindset I’m always going to to be aggressive and always going to try and go go for it. Um that’s kind of Kell’s motto is just go for it. So was just obviously a great play um by him just you know staying friendly and and finishing it. I believe it was interception or maybe this team played a lot of complimentary football was huge. I think the defense was just kind of the lifeline today of just you know creating that juice. you know, earlier on I think, you know, we did some good things, but just we had to finish in some of those moments. And the defense, they did a heck of a job of they, you know, they provided the juice. They were getting stops all over the field. Those turnovers were big. And I think, you know, the great thing about, you know, our offense, we were able to capitalize on some of that. Um, and, you know, we got to continue to we got to continue to do that. We got to continue to play complimentary football. Apologize. How satisfying was it to? Yeah. Run it all out. Yeah. I mean, it’s it’s the best feeling in the world from an offensive perspective whenever you, you know, you’ve put enough points on it and now you’re trying to run the ball and then you get a for a great four-minute drive and you finish that out and and you get to take a knee. There’s not a better feeling from a just a a confidence standpoint from the O line, the running backs, all those guys. like that’s cuz that’s when you can kind of impose your will and um we got to, you know, continue to find ways to to put points on the board and, you know, not leave so many plays out there. But I was just so happy with with, you know, how we finished that. Yeah, I was he wasn’t he was supposed to get the ball really. he was just kind of, you know, clearing it out. Maybe a backside alert, um, you know, if he got it. But, um, he just did a good job in the scramble phase, you know, slipping them and and and making the catch. So, you know, it’s all stuff like that happens. You got to got to make a play and, um, you know, more often than not, especially in the red zone is when those good things happens is on the scramble drill. At what point do you see him after notice the guy or how I was just kind of afterwards whenever I, you know, stepped and moved left. Yeah, I saw him saw him um shake him, but you know, obviously wasn’t wasn’t looking at him prior to that. How did you carry that moment? I think it’s just having a sense of urgency when we have when we got practice and in our preparation and kind of continuing, you know, the emphasis on everything that we’ve done to this point. Um just just learning from our mistakes and then just not letting up. You know, there’s a lot of ball to be played and um you know, I think we you know, we got a lot ahead of us. first quarterback since 1981. Does that mean something to you? I think it was Archie, right? Was Dave, you guys are on it, man. That’s pretty cool. Um, I mean, it’s just it’s a great honor just because of this this organization and um, you know, obviously Archie’s one of my just closest friends that I’ve been able to kind of resources and somebody I mentors I looked up to and um, so that’s obviously a great feeling, but at the end of the day, I think there’s, like I said before, we got a lot more to go in the tank and it’s a good step, but uh, you know, I think we can continue to progress. Thank you. Thanks,

  3. Yeah. I used to the 2-45 seasons. So with the Saints with constant disbelief and lose , so appreciate a win every now and then. Bottom feeding is what the Saints are all
    about. So cannot wait until next week when saints get destroyed
    We love these guys no matter the outcome.❤

  5. I liked him in college and thought he reminded me of a bigger Drew Breese and much better than Rattler who is good but he's typical run n gun QB and I like him but I think Shough is
    better more complete QB. I wish them both good luck. I think both sides of ball played great and even Shough said he needs to improve which is a good attitude to have even in win.

  9. This goes out to all of the Spencersexuals that would claim week after week loss after loss that a 1-13 bum was the Saints' future and a franchise quaterback 😂😂 (including the few clowns that claimed the Saints wasted a 2nd round pick on Tyler Shough). Spencer Rattler went 0-6 his rookie year and Tyler has his first win during his rookie year in his 2nd game including breaking a Saints rookie record for most yards passing in a game. All of the excuses last year for Spencer in he had no line (well neither does Tyler with 3 starters out) and he also had less weapons on offense with the Rasheed Shaheed trade. Tyler is your prototypical quarterback in 6'5" with a strong arm, good accuracy, can scramble in the pocket, and has pocket presence going through his reads. All traits that Rattler lacks. Tyler also throws the ball all over: deep passes, short passes, medium passes, and converts on 3rd down. Spencer threw a deep ball once every 3-4 games where most of his passes were short especially on 3rd down not converting most of his attempts and he had no pocket pressence. If his primary read was covered, he would try to force the ball in which was usually a broken up pass (or multiple turnovers like in his last two games) or would tuck and run the ball (where sometimes he would get a first down but usually he wouldn't). The Saints should have won 17-0 with some luck going the Panthers way. A roughing the passer call on a bonehead play by Justin Reid should have been a DeMario Davis interception and no score by the Panthers. The blocked field goal by the Saints was a lucky first down by the Panthers and the roughing the passer call on DeMario Davis was a bullshit call. The Saints won because of complimentary football in the great game by Tyler Shough (and Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson), Alvin Kamara, Taysom Hill, and Devin O'Neal running hard and of course the defense shutting down the run and creating turnovers (it should have been three turnovers). The announcers even said during the game, "that Chris Olave finally has a quarterback that will get him the ball" hence his first 100-yard receiving game this season due to Tyler Shough. Enjoy the bench, Spencer, because Shough is the man. He should have been from day 1 so the Saints' overall record ' falls on Kellen Moore for keeping that 1-13 bum in game after game and loss after loss. We learn I guess. Shough is the future now get him some weapons in the offseason and build the offensive line. #WhoDat

  19. This Youngman is very Poised! And he has an Excellent N.F.L. starting Quarterback Demeanor! I Like his Confidence and Moxie! He also carries himself with alot of Swagger! Doesn't seem like a Typical Rookie, this Youngman seems like a 4 to 5 year Veteran! Coach Moore played this like the Offensive Minded Genuis he is by not starting the Youngman early and giving Spencer a Proper Chance while letting the Youngman develop and learn. Thus allowing the Saints Fan base to be open to starting the Youngman and giving him a chance! I said it before and I'll say it again this is Essentially a 17 Game Preseason! So Who Dat Nation allow both Coach Moore and Tyler both Grace and Leniency while they're both Learning! This thing is a 4 to 6 year Process. We all are watching a Franchise go thru a Rebuild and a New Identity right before our eyes. Trust the Process! The Saints will get Younger, Faster, Stronger! And be back on Top Again! So enjoy the Growth Process! Who Dat!!! ❤

  20. So incase anyone didn't notice. The huge difference between him and spencer is, tyler always looks down field. Even when he scrambles. Never seen that with rattler. Rattler was check down charlie. With tyler the defense has to plat different. Defenses had spencers #

  23. Nice first win! Take the praise with a grain of salt Shough. These people will turn on you if you sneeze wrong. Just keep doing your job and make sure everyone else is as well.

  25. Tyler is going to fall apart against different defense just because he play good against the Panthers don't mean nothing right now stay tuned the going to be interesting

  26. Okk sooo id like to just say ive said hes the guy since being drafted i binge watched his highlights he’s really him .. not taking away from rattler … but hes truly our QB1 may not be a Drew Brees but well go places with 6 💯

  37. SHOUGH is a good Quarterback, he keeps his mind focused on the game. As a team saint's have aways to go. The saint's will be alright down the road, will only get better.

  44. The REASON TYLER IS A GOOD QB HE HAS INTELLIGENCE AND 6 YRS OF FOOTBALL. HE IS TALL AN A DECENT ARM. IF YOU PROTECT HIM HE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO FIND THE OPEN MAN. NICE WIN STACK EM UP LIKE JORDAN DOES. LOL

  47. I liked what I saw. Let’s not anoint him after 1 good game. Let’s see some consistency now. And when did players start calling their HC by their first name. Put some respect on that at least for the interviews. Kellen might have told them to just call him Kellen but for the media, it should be Coach Kellen or Coach Moore.
