VIDEO REPORT: Saints QB Spencer Rattler “super excited” to start Sunday vs. Chargers
Yeah, Spencer Rattlers is going to get the start for the Saints at quarterback Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, and by no means does this mean that he will be the starting quarterback for week one of the regular season. But he’s been having *** very good training camp so far in Friday’s practice. He was 12 to 16 with two touchdown passes, and this decision was made well before Friday’s practice. Super excited. You know, uh, awesome opportunity. Excited to get out there with the guys and, uh, you know, try to play some clean ball, uh, try to score some points and have some fun with the guys out there. Having fun while putting in the work is *** reason why Spencer Rattler is getting the nod Sunday, which is very validating for Rattler. Each chance you get to go on the field, it’s, it’s *** great time, you know, you get to go out there and show what you got and get to go out there with the guys, so. Um, starting, not starting, it, it’s, it’s, uh, it’s fun to be out there regardless, but will Rattler put *** lot of pressure on himself since he’s getting the first start of the preseason and fighting to become the week one starter? I’m just gonna play ball, um, no need to press, um, you know, our group’s looking good right now, feeling good right now. I just gotta go out there, play clean, operate smooth. However long I’m out there and just go play clean ball, score some points, scoring, playing clean ball, and avoiding the pressure things rookie quarterback Tyler Sho will do once he comes in after Rattler. I think for me, every time I’m out there I want to throw with conviction and operate and bring *** lot of juice to the huddle and making sure we’re procedurally good and all those things and if you look at it analytically. you know, that’s how I wanna do, how I want to operate and have fun with it. And Tyler Shuck has been building some momentum since the team arrived here in California, also building some confidence and learning from his mistakes. And Newport Beach, Sharif Ishak, WDSU News.
