re: Saints switch Taysom Hill to QB on roster

How many reps does the #2 guy get with the 1s in week to prepare? My understanding was very little. Honestly running Taysom’s package to finish a game is probably less of a gamble then putting Jameis out there with little to no prep time. If Carr is out more than just the rest of the game then Winston moves to QB1 and Hill stays QB2.

We have not heard of Taysom getting much of any reps as QB from this camp that I recall, plus he was hurt for a good bit of it. This is a very opposite approach that Sean Payton had in that he never used as Taysom as QB2 in game like this. When QB1 got hurt in game we saw Jamies step in...I also remember Trevor Semian going as QB2 in game from an injury. Payton said that was because of Taysom's lack of QB reps in practice, and he had been preparing both in practice and film room with TEs/RBs so he wasn't prepared enough. Then after that game, he moved Taysom to QB2 once he had a full week of practice and gameplanning to prepare him for the next game.
