Palm Beach, Fla. – If you can't stand the heat, you're not going to be much of a Kellen Moore fan for training camp.

The New Orleans Saints' first-year head coach confirmed Tuesday that the team will return to its Metairie training facility at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center for training camp this year, after a one-year absence.

A portion of camp possibly will be conducted elsewhere and there's a chance or joint practices, but camp will begin in Louisiana before it makes its way anywhere else.

"We're looking at some potential to see if we can go somewhere else for a shorter period of time, but we'll spend some time in Louisiana," Moore said from the NFL owners meetings. "The exposure to the heat and all that sort of stuff, we think there'll be value to it, just getting accustomed to that.

"Training camp isn't supposed to be the easiest thing in the world, there will be some challenges with the heat but that'll be a good thing for us, too."

Last year, the Saints held camp in Irvine, Calif. Irvine joined La Cross, Wis., Thibodaux and Jackson, Miss., among other camp host cities.

When and if the team travels for camp/joint practice will be detailed later, he said.

Meanwhile, as Moore efforts to have the Saints' offense reading from the same book, he first must install the same language.

As an offensive coordinator at three previous destinations – in Dallas, with the Los Angeles Chargers and last season for current Super Bowl champion Philadelphia – Moore said he has grown accustomed to helping formulate a system that caters to the available players.

"I've gotten bilingual in football languages," he said, smiling. "Gone through the process a few times. In Dallas we had a couple of different systems. L.A. was a different system, and Philly. And our offensive staff has been exposed to a number of ways – a couple of guys that were in Dallas with me, L.A., Philly. So it's really just all of us coming together.

"It's making a system connect with the players, based off the situation you're in."

Moore said much of the language with the Eagles was carried over because most of the offensive staff and players were familiar with it, and that he and his staff will determine what best will work for the Saints.

Some of that process will begin in two weeks, when the Saints begin OTAs. It'll be the first field work for New Orleans under its new head coach, who has been abundantly occupied with the NFL Combine, NFL owners meetings, attending several college's pro days and assembling with the scouting department, among other duties.

"At the end of the day you're a coach, you want to coach football," he said. "You don't want it to be a desk job 12 months a year. But we're really excited to get into the process of OTAs. Obviously, OTAs are structured in a way that it's more of a teaching, more of a buildup. We're just excited to begin the build and that'll start on April 14."
