The Saints defense did a pretty solid job against the Cowboys on Sunday, and here's a closer look at the snap counts and top players from Week 2's win.
By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI
The Saints players get to enjoy an off day on Tuesday, but we'll still be busy in the community and such as they turn the page from a very big Week 2 win over the Cowboys. The New Orleans defense worked in sync with the offense, and aside one big play, they were pretty stout on Sunday. Here's a closer look at the snap counts with some notes and observations from the game. You can check out the offense here.
Saints Defensive Snap Counts - Week 2
For the most part, the Saints defense did a formidable job against the Cowboys offense. Dennis Allen's unit allowed 353 total net yards (68 rushing, 285 passing) on the day with 20 first downs. Dallas average 5.3 yards/play, albeit 65 of those came on one play. The Cowboys went 6/13 (46%) on 3rd Down, 0/3 in the Red Zone and 1/3 (33%) on 4th Down. New Orleans also picked up 3 sacks on the day and got 2 turnovers, both picks.
- Will Harris - 70 (100%) For the second week in a row, Harris went the distance. His hit on CeeDee Lamb on the end zone play was something that was hard to miss. He finished with 4 total tackles (3 solo, 1 assisted) and a pass defense. He's been an extremely underrated addition to the Saints defense and the communication with Tyrann Mathieu has been on point.
- Tyrann Mathieu, Paulson Adebo, Demario Davis - 67 (96%) Another game and another turnover or Mathieu, who got a pick right after the Saints threw one. He had 2 pass breakups and 3 solo tackles. The only play they'd want to have back is the big touchdown play to Lamb. Adebo had two holding calls that helped keep the Dallas offense on the field, but he had a big pick to turn the Cowboys away and even had a really nice return of 47 yards to help create excellent field position. As for Davis, he tied or second on the team with 8 total stops (3 solo, 5 assisted) and was credited with a pass breakup on a nice play against Rico Dowdle. ...
