Snap Count Notes:
The Saints ran way more offensive plays than they did defensive plays.
Mark Ingram only took 21 snaps. Considering he had 17 total targets (14 rushing touches, 2 receptions, 1 drop), that means he's very likely to get the ball when he breaks the huddle. Which also means Ingram isn't afforded the luxury of the element of surprise vs. defenses.
Josh Hill played more than Jimmy Graham and Ben Watson.
Based on snap count alone Kenny Stills is your No. 1 receiver. Meanwhile Nick Toon is in the doghouse.
David Hawthorne played very little.
Rafael Bush, on the other hand, is keeping it on lock down at safety.
