NEW ORLEANS (AP) ¡ª A suburban New Orleans sheriff's
department says Saints defensive tackle David Onyemata has been cited for
misdemeanor possession of marijuana.A statement released on Thursday by the
Jefferson Parish Sherriff's office says a narcotics agent received a tip that
marijuana products would be at Onyemata's apartment in the New Orleans suburb of
River Ridge. The agent secured a warrant and searched the residence on Jan.

finding marijuana, THC oil, edible marijuana products and hemp powder.The
sheriff's statement says Onyemata cooperated with investigators and received
summons. Based on NFL rules, Onyemata could receive a league-issued suspension
as long as four games.Saints spokesman Doug Miller says the club is refraining
from commenting at this time. The New Orleans Saints notched their first victory
of the 2018 season yesterday by holding on in the final seconds to beat the
Cleveland Browns 21-18. New Orleans certainly didn't make things easy on
themselves. The defense, despite an improved effort from last week's beatdown at
the hands of Tampa Bay, had a major breakdown in the 4th quarter by giving up a
47-yd. touchdown pass to Antonio Callaway on a fourth and long, forcing the
Saints into a desperate drive to pull out the victory. Offensively, the Saints
again failed to generate a running game, increasing the onus on Drew Brees and
the passing attack. Brees missed two easy touchdown throws that would have made
the margin of victory larger. The offensive line struggled a bit with the
underrated Cleveland

allowing 3 sacks and failing to open holes for the running game. Nevertheless,
the Saints made enough plays to win the game and even their record. Here are
some of the standout performers from yesterday's New Orleans victory. Alvin
Kamara Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty ImagesKamara accounted for 39% of the New
Orleans offensive output by himself yesterday. He led the team in rushing, with
46 yards, and added 53 yards receiving on six catches while adding a 2-pt
conversion on a pitchout run outside. Although his yardage output was down from
the previous week against Tampa Bay, Kamara is quite clearly the focal point of
the offense along with Michael Thomas. Although New Orleans clearly needs Mark
Ingram in the lineup to maintain a consistent rushing attack, Kamara's ability
to be a gamebreaking threat from anywhere in the formation does spread a
defense, and doesn't allow the opposition to consistently bring extra rushers at
Brees. Marcus Williams Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsWilliams caused the
first turnover forced by the Saints defense this season. He jumped a Tyrod
Taylor pass near midfield late in the fourth quarter, and had a brilliant return
to bring the ball inside the Browns 20-yd. line. The turnover set New Orleans up
for the go ahead score, and their first lead of the game. After struggling in
deep coverage against the

this game, (even with the secondary's failure against Callaway late in the
game), managing a few key breakups earlier in the contest. Aside from Callaway's
score, Williams led a secondary that held he and star wideout Jarvis Landry to a
combined 103 yards through the rest of the game. Michael Thomas Photo by Sean
Gardner/Getty ImagesThomas was once again a vital part of the Saints offense,
and a destructive force to the opposing secondary. He caught 12 passes for 89
yards and two touchdowns, including the go ahead score after Williams'
interception where he overpowered Cleveland defensive back Denzel Ward on a back
shoulder timing route in the end zone. His 28 receptions in the first two games
of a season are an NFL record, and has developed into a superstar throughout the
league. Thomas did lose a fumble for the second consecutive game, which equals
the total he lost through his first 32 games combined. (both others against the
Denver Broncos in 2016). Thomas continues to flourish even with opposing
coverages stacked to stop him, due to a continued inconsistent production from
the other New Orleans weapons. Thomas and Kamara accounted for over 53% of the
Saints offensive touches against
Cleveland

or team records. Sheldon Rankins Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty ImagesHonorable
mention certainly goes to Cam Jordan (2 sacks), Alex Okafor, Marcus Davenport,
and Taylor Stallworth, who provided nice pressure and rush containment while
tying up blockers for the team's linebackers all afternoon. Rankins had five
tackles on the afternoon and a quarterback sack, his first of the year. He
pushed the Browns pass pocket back most of the game, and stonewalled Cleveland's
interior blocking to contain their running game before exiting the game late
with injury. After a standout preseason, Rankins looks as if he could fulfill
the expectations that came with being made the 12th overall draft pick in 2016.
Wil LutzChuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsNot wanting to incite the specter of bad
karma by giving a game ball to (now former) Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez, who
missed two extra points and two field
goals
Womens
Benjamin Watson Jersey , the pick here instead goes to Lutz. Saints fans
know all too well from recent history that a poor kicking performance can derail
a season. Lutz did have a field goal miss yesterday, but there weren't many fans
that didn't have confidence in the kicker as he was lining up for the potential
game-winner with less than 25 seconds remaining. As expected, Lutz drilled the
44-yd. attempt, and New Orleans held on for the victory. The third year Lutz has
become one of the league's clutch kickers, and gives the Saints a distinct
advantage in any close
game.
