The Saints, like every other team, and known to find inspiration from other teams' playbooks.
It is suspected the team used a borrowed play during a 2016 game against the Los Angeles Rams.
It probably isn’t a coincidence the Saints employed the same tackle-over look against the Rams that the Bills used against them in Week 5. Buffalo gained 53 yards on a LeSean McCoy run. New Orleans running back Mark Ingram picked up 61 yards on his turn.
On both plays, the teams took advantage of the defensive end moving to a Wide-9 alignment to get outside of the extra offensive lineman. The most surprising thing about the play was that New Orleans used it multiple times and former Rams defensive coordinator Greg Williams, who now holds the same role with the Cleveland Browns, never adjusted to it.
