2. THE KAMARA EFFECT: Nothing helps a quarterback more than an effective running game. Miami only allows 103.7 rushing yards per game, including a minuscule 85.7 the last three, so the Dolphins aren't going to be accommodating visitors. Plus, with the Saints starting a rookie quarterback making his NFL debut, Miami will be even more intent on taking away the run and making New Orleans one-dimensional. Still, Saints five-time Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara has to be a big presence, either with the ball in his hands (668 rushing yards and four touchdowns, 348 receiving yards and four touchdowns) or as a decoy. A 25- to 30-touch game easily is within the realm of possibility for Kamara in this one; he's New Orleans' best offensive player and he'll need a big presence.
3. CARRY D LOAD: It simply may not be possible for the Saints' defense to duplicate what it achieved in its last game. New Orleans shut out Tampa Bay (the NFL's top scoring team) in a 9-0 victory, and forced two turnovers, produced four sacks, allowed 302 yards and got stops on 13 of 19 third-down attempts. That said, another impressive performance will be needed. The offense is short-handed and expecting a great output might not be a reasonable expectation. The Saints have been able to construct a plan necessary to win on a given Sunday, so four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore needs to be at his best if he's matched against Dolphins rookie receiver Jaylen Waddle. And linebackers Kwon Alexander and Pete Werner will need to be run-stopping forces in the absence of Demario Davis. And defensive ends Marcus Davenport and Cameron Jordan will need to pressure Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who's coming off a two-interception game (one returned for a touchdown). New Orleans will be without safety Malcolm Jenkins, so expect P.J. Williams to have a higher snap count.
