Alright, that was something. Here’s what matters from last night’s New Orleans Saints game, and what doesn’t matter:
What Matters
The starting offensive line’s dominance. The Saints averaged a very nice 6.9 yards per carry with the starting unit blocking, including three gains of 10 or more yards and just one tackle for loss allowed. If New Orleans can keep Terron Armstead and Andrus Peat healthy, the left wing of their line could be just as fearsome as Larry Warford and Ryan Ramczyk’s right side.
Trey Hendrickson stealing scenes. The predraft analytics hero is looking the part in year two, constantly flashing with snap anticipation and hand-fighting techniques.
