Boston Scott, RB
The sixth-round pick out of Louisiana Tech rushed for a game-high 68 yards and a touchdown averaged nearly six yards per carry en route to that total. Scott also had a 23-yard kick return. Scott said after the game that he was looking to show he could run between tackles and didn’t have to rely on his juke moves, solely, to avoid being brought down
“I still need to work on the fundamentals,” Scott said. “A little bit of everything, just recognizing my keys and during the game staying on track before pre-snap, before I get the ball in my hands and just making sure that I am fundamentally sound.”

If it weren’t for Nate Stupar’s unreal stat line, Kamrin Moore had strong case for having the best night of any Saints defender. Moore forced a fumble late in the third quarter which was recovered by Stupar and showed coaches his value by making three tackles on special teams. One of which forced the Rams to start a drive at their own 3-yard line.
The sixth round pick out of Boston College need a strong showing like this one as he’s compete with several other young defensive backs like Arthur Maulet, Justin Hardee and Natrell Jamerson for a spot on the team.

Taylor Stallworth, DT
Stallworth recovered a fumble in the Saints preseason opener against and told members of the media afterward that he wanted to “scoop and score.” He was able to do that in Thursday nights game after Saints first-round pick Marcus Davenport knock the ball out of Rams quarterback Brandon Allen’s hands. His joy was however short lived as the play was called back due to a penalty against defensive lineman Devaroe Lawrence. Stallworth, however, made another big play Thursday night as he forced a fumble early in the fourth quarter when he stripped the ball form Los Angeles running back Larry Rose’s hands. Stallworth was also credited with four tackles.
Marcus Davenport, DE
The stat sheet won’t show it but Davenport’s ability to pressure the quarterback was evident Thursday night. He had the afore mentioned sack fumble that was called back due to a penalty. But he also had a couple of other plays that flashed his value to the Saints defense. Late in the first quarter, Davenport rushed inside and flushed Allen from the pocket. He pursued Allen right into linebacker Craig Robertson who was credited with a sack on the play.
