Some observations, mostly on the lines
OL: it’s incredible just how good they are as a unit. I don’t think I saw a single time all game the Texans confused us and we missed an assignment (some of this is obviously on Drew) But our guys were impressive taking on stunts and blitzes. Ram beat Watts arse all night. McCoy looked really good in the run game but missed a few blocks in pass pro. The sack Armstead gave up was really because Peat got blown up and Brees couldn’t step up in the pocket.
DL: Cam Jordan was a monster, though he lost contain a few times. Davenport set the edge really well most of the night, he had some good bull rushes (he decleated Kelemente one play), we used Davenport a lot in “blocking” stunts that set up other guys to get pressures, I like him in the middle in pass rush downs, he had a good overall game. Hendrickson looked great around the edge, Malcom Brown was solid... stallworrh and Loewen didn’t give us much. Tuttle had some good reps in the middle. Onyemata is sorely needed back in the middle.
Also of note, we did more stunts than I think I’ve ever seen the saints do in this game.
Demario Davis has some really really bad run fits that led to big runs
Eli Apple had an amazing game... the one pass he allowed (the big Fuller play) was on Marcus Williams who bit on the under route and was supposed to be over the top with Apple underneath.
Lattimore imo was VERY good and even though Hopkins had some big plays, he was with him step for step and sometimes a perfect throw and a great WR just win out.
Marcus Williams did some things really good, but he also gave up major plays by not having over the top help and leaving his corner exposed
Ted Ginn remember when people complained about him having stone hands? Man he looked great
Trequan seems to be developing and gaining trust with Drew, we need him to keep getting better
Jared Cook I really love what he adds to this team and will be huge for us as an additional weapon this year taking on safeties

Davis took a little time to come around last season too. He’ll get it together

It's about time I saw a correct evaluation of Apple. Most idiots on here have been bashing him. The dude has been nothing but a baller since we signed him. His arrival to New Orleans was the missing piece to reaching a top 5 level defense.

Kamara is great

I find it weird that I continually hear Marcus Williams, Lattimore, and Apple's name called throughout the game but very rarely ever hear Vonn Bell's name being thrown out during the course of the game. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Nice detail. Thanks. 
I do think there was more poor tackling than anyone wants to see.

Just got the free 7 day trial of gamepass to check out the all 22. Won't have time to look at the whole thing tonight but very first play both Davis and Marcus Williams were EXTREMELY slow to recognize run and the back was able to cut through a small whole and take advantage of it.
Looks like PJ was playing outside contain/blitz but recognized the run was to the opposite side. MW had the guy PJ was blitzing at in man but never peaked to see if it was run.
Davis was reading run/playaction and just read it dead wrong and followed Watson right with 3 hop steps away from the play. May have been a spy, but that's poor play call if you have PJ crashing in as a 5th rusher.
Also not sure why you'd put MW in the box and have Bell play the single high instead of vice versa. Bell excells in the box and MW kind of doesn't.
Klein had the back but then switched to the opposite side TE as he came across and eventually crashed down towards Watson in case of play action, which makes me wonder why Davis was also spying on Watson (on another look through it looked like Klein was spying the whole way, which makes me think someone didn't know their assignment).
Eventually MW and Davis realized their frick up and hustled to make the tackle 8-9 yards down field.
Cam almost had the tackle at the line coming from the opposite end DE spot. Davenport actually did well to hold contain on the playside but both DTs got washed too far to the left of the play ending up to close to Davenport instead of staying in their gaps.
Lattimore and Apple were playing man.
