What You Missed: Wednesday, December 3rd

Saints HC Kellen Moore, QB Tyler Shough and DE Cam Jordan spoke to the media Wednesday. Here's what you missed:
Moore:
- RT Taliese Fuaga (ankle), RB Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle), WR Chris Olave (back) and S Justin Reid (knee) missed practice due to injury
- QB Tyler Shough's growth since last time facing Bucs in Week 8 (Shough's first meaningful regular season action)
- Need to generate explosive run plays
- WR Devaughn Vele tried to get depth on a crossing route on intercepted two-point conversion attempt, allowing the defender to jump the route
- Vele's role grew naturally with roster moves, and the team views him as an ideal Z receiver
- The team was cautiously optimistic about projecting rookie CB Quincy Riley's role, but is impressed by his ball skills
- The team plans to continue developing Shough, but a decision on next season's QB plan is not imminent
- K Charlie Smyth will start against Tampa Bay
- Taysom Hill's lack of touches against Miami was caused by in-game situations, not game plan
Shough:
- Needing to start faster offensively and earning the right to run tempo
- Thoughts on Vele's improvements and growth within the system after season-best performance against Miami
- Thoughts on Bucs defense and what it will take to be successful against Tampa Bay
- Being recruited by former LSU HC Ed Orgeron
- Being inspired by Bucs QB Baker Mayfield's career path
- Outlook on the rest of the season after being eliminated from playoff contention
Jordan:
- Continuing to show sack production in year 15 after recent down years
- Difficulty of appreciating personal production despite losing games
- Desire to play more snaps, while focusing on controlling what he can control
- Thoughts on the future (staying in New Orleans, signing elsewhere or retiring)
- Motivation to continue playing with no possibility of a playoff berth Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
