Whilst Kamara is great, I hate that little flare pass we throw to him, far too easy for Defenses to read. |

Did you watch any Saints football last season and the offensive woes (Snead disappeared on 3rd down) we had with pass catching to anyone not named Thomas or Kamara? |

It will happen, our offense will sputter if they don't find another target. |

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
Like I said...if Thomas and Kamara were actually covered when Brees was throwing them ball it would be a different conversation. He isn’t forcing it to then like he did with Jimmy Graham. Meredith will make a difference though.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
Brees is not the key to us being a SB contender... it’s the running game. If we can start running the ball well again we will start putting more wins together. It’s not about Brees throwing to 100 different WRs or only targeting 1 guy all game, just run the ball well to set up the PA and keep the defense off the field.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
The last two posts are good points. I think we have a top 15 defense if they would just do their jobs and stop trying to run a single-high safety.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
Getting more touches to another WR won't change anything because it's not an issue with Brees completing 8 of 10 passes. Nobody has that going on. Stop it first then it needs attention.
The D has to turn it around. The big strikes are killing us but that is what we do. Give up big 30 plus yards strikes consistently and then demand Brees bail us out. He can do it sometimes but not every damn game. They have to step up. |
