THE OFFENSIVE IDENTITY
Shough and Etienne lead Moore’s second-year offense.
NO 24, BAL 17 — final. Olave played Sunday, while Banks is out indefinitely. The formation shows the listed left-tackle alternative with no inherited grade. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.
Moore and Nussmeier remain in place, but new arrivals Etienne and Edwards change personnel. Retained 2025 Saints tendencies describe the previous season rather than a measured 2026 mix.

The approach behind the offense
Reported concepts and coaching prioritiesMoore calls the plays
The September 10 Etienne feature explicitly identifies Moore as the offensive play caller and describes the new back and coach learning each other in live situations.
Source & context ↗Week 1 balance context
Before the completed Detroit game, the September 12 preview emphasized an effective run game alongside Shough and his receivers. This is historical game-plan context, not a Baltimore forecast.
Source & context ↗Second-year quarterback continuity
Shough is the clear starting quarterback entering year two. The official preview emphasizes confident decision-making without overloading the quarterback with checks.
Source & context ↗Fantasy connection: Olave played Sunday, while Banks is out indefinitely. The formation shows the listed left-tackle alternative with no inherited grade.
Sample: 1,060 classified 2025 regular-season plays, all game states. Dropbacks (63.2%) include sacks and scrambles; designed runs exclude scrambles. Kneels, spikes, two-point tries, aborted snaps and nullified plays are excluded. NFL comparisons use the same filters. These are historical rates, not a 2026 play forecast.
