Texans vs Saints Week 3 PreSeason Recap

Texans vs Saints Week 3 Recap

Three Major Points

  1. Taysom Time?

  2. Kamara Goes Down. 

  3. The Deciding Factor!

?Let us begin with point number 1, Taysom time. The starters played for 3 quarter straight, but once the 4th quarter came, it was Taysom time. Following last week's performance against Pittsburgh, Winston only went under center 4 times all game. Brees came in, threw 2 TDs and 1 INT, but it was time for the second unit. Taysom comes in, rushes for 18 yards on a read option, and goes 5/8 for 2 TDs and 1 INT. TE Josh Hill had 3 TDs on the day, 2 coming from Taysom Hill. Hill was inaccurate here and there, but overall, his throw power and mobility was pleasing to see. 

The second major point is, that Alvin Kamara went down on the first play of the game with a dislocated shoulder. This threw a major wrench in our offense, due to the fact that Kamara is not only big in the running game, but in the passing game as well. Luckily, the medical staff let the organization know Kamara would be ready for the regular season opener against Tampa Bay. Latavius Murray became the bell cow for the game, and our offense totaled 100 yards on the ground. 

The third and final point is, the deciding factor. In this game, both teams played it safe and committed a total of 3 turnovers combined, but the Saints committed two of those. Most of the stats were very similar, Both teams totaled 201 passing yards, and we even led the way in rushing. The two interceptions thrown by the Saints ultimately led to their downfall. 

The Saints fall at home to the Texans 28-30
