Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectTyler Shough building off of a stong training camp.Shough is fully prepared for this opportunity, with the entire organization placing complete trust in the second-year Louisville product. That confidence should translate into letting him push the ball downfield aggressively.New Orleans demonstrated this aggressive approach during three joint practice sessions against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, and Dallas Cowboys.Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, Shough delivered an impressive finish to training camp. From Day 12 through the final session—which incorporated all three joint practices—he connected on 76.5% of his 115 pass attempts while throwing just a single interception. He was also effective deep, converting six of his 10 pass attempts of 20 or more yards.Detroit's defensive situation further favors taking downfield shots: the Lions ranked 20th against the pass last year and will enter the matchup missing both starting safeties, Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, to injury.Saints MailbagWednesdays, On SI Saints will answer your questions about what we see from our vantage point.
