Re: Observations from the Saints' 33-18 win against the Giants
Kamara can run the ball between the tackles, but he's not really a guy that can pound it in the way that Ingram does against particular defensive configurations. The Giants knew we were lacking this, so they often just sat back a lot of guys in coverage. This was the right choice for them, and almost worked. Kamara did indeed end up with a ton of yards yesterday, but we didn't really run the ball as consistently as the stats would indicate(he had a ton of short yard runs, with some huge runs mixed in between). Not having a guy that can just pound yards out makes it especially hard to throw in the redzone. I think we'll improve starting next week.

They tried once or twice with Gileslee, but did not try with Boston Scott.

Re: Observations from the Saints' 33-18 win against the Giants
Cameron Meredith is getting a lot of undeserved hate. He put up 3 catches for 32 yards and drew a big penalty on our last drive where he would have had another big catch and first down. I think he’s doing just fine for somebody who just hit the field last week. He’s contributed far more than Austin Carr, and people were acting like he was the next Edelman.

Re: Observations from the Saints' 33-18 win against the Giants
This supports the ridiculous talk about trying to bring in another WR (ie. Dez Bryant) that has popped up a few times recently. A receiver cannot just step into a Payton designed offense and be a factor on day one. It cannot be done. Meredith didn't reach 100% until the third game of preseason. He didn't start working with the ones until week three of the regular season. And that was with him being in ALL of the classroom and walk throughs this off-season. It would take half a season to incorporate a new WR into this offense and we don't have the roster space to waste on that endeavor.

Re: Observations from the Saints' 33-18 win against the Giants
Finally someone slowed down Michael Thomas—the Saints star had just 47 yards on four catches against the Giants at the Meadowlands. Unfortunately for the hosts, that only worked to help spring Alvin Kamara for 134 yards on 19 carries, and 47 yards on five catches. And the Saints showed a pretty good quality in this one: The ability to win in different ways. Drew Brees was just 18-of-32 for 217 yards, and didn’t throw a touchdown pass. And New Orleans still won by 15.
