Long but very thorough and well researched video. The tl;dr summary is that if the Saints don't mix up their strategy on 3rd down (targeting Thomas or Kamara almost exclusively), good teams will be able to replicate the Cowboys' success against our offense.

Watch the highlights from yesterday's game, and you'll see that we again targeted Thomas or Kamara on nearly every third down play.

The bad news is that this third down formula (force Brees to check away from Thomas and spy a corner on Kamara to neutralize his speed) is easy to implement for playoff caliber teams. The good news is that the Saints have enough time to create some new wrinkles before the postseason.
