The New Orleans Saints beat the Patriots and did so in fairly dominating fashion with a 28-13 victory in Foxborough. Along the way, there was plenty to note with the snap count so let’s take a look at four of the biggest observations.
Werner over Baun
The Saints spent a second-round pick on Pete Werner out of Ohio State and it was unfortunate when he missed the first two weeks due to injury. Werner was back this week, however, and he looked good, recording two tackles in his NFL debut.
The notable part of Werner’s debut, however, was that he was present in nearly half of the defensive snaps (49%) while Zack Baun, a former third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was only on the field for 10% of the defensive snaps.
