Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas look unstoppable
I’m sure Gregg Williams game-planned to stop the dynamic tandem but Kamara and Thomas still got theirs, combining to produce 188 of the Saints’ 275 total yards. The Kamara-Thomas tandem has produced 67 percent of the Saints' offense and 61 percent of its touches in the first two games as Drew Brees instinctively calls their numbers in important situations. Kamara-Thomas just might just be the best playmaking duo in the NFL right now. The only comparable duo is Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, and Bell remains sidelined because of a contract holdout.
Marcus Williams needed that
The second-year free safety had a rough opener against the Bucs and was having a quiet day against the Browns until he stepped in front an ill-advised Tyrod Taylor pass and intercepted it late in the game to set-up the Saints’ go-ahead touchdown. Williams made a nice read and grab on the play, which resulted in part because of Kurt Coleman’s disruptive blitz off the edge. With Coleman in Taylor’s face, he was forced to hold the ball a second longer than he’d like and the delay allowed Williams to get into position to make the interception. This was a perfect example of affecting the quarterback. The Saints didn’t get a sack but they disrupted the timing of the play with the safety blitz and it resulted in the biggest defensive play of the game.
