Let's start with the New Orleans Saints in 44 damn points.

Andy Barons week one, I thought the Cowboys defense was great.

So for the Saints to come out here and basically roll over everything that we saw from week one to this week I think is a big deal for fantasy going forward.

Clint Kubiak basically pitching on a shutout like the 1st 15 drives for, for Derek Carr this season ended in points.

That's crazy.

That is, that is absolutely wild at halftime in this game.

They had 35 points and 310 total yards of offense.

Like just an absolute juggernaut.

That's, I mean, that was nuts.

They're maximizing rashid Shaheed like we may have undersold, you know, he's everybody's preseason sleeper at wide receiver and they're getting everything they can out of him.

He's just been incredible.

And then Kara looks like vintage Ka, he's been crazy good and it like he's good when he gets a rushing lane.

He was pretty good against Dallas, even when he didn't necessarily have a clear wide rushing lane.

I just thought he was fantastic.

Yeah, this offense is humming and then next week they get the Eagles.

The Eagles had some vulnerabilities against the Packers in opening week and last year they were a defense that we were picking on all the time.

And I'm feeling really good about Derek Car now.

I don't know how to rank these guys now because I, I'm probably feeling too bullish on Derek Carr.

But man, that guy was that I was dealing.

It's the weirdest thing to say if Derek Car was really dealing, I will say for all of my, uh, positivity about the passing game in New Orleans, which did sound, certainly sounded crazy to most people in the off season.

I was a little skeptical about how the offensive transition would take over in the run game because I wasn't sure.

Yeah, what Ka really had left and I also wasn't sure about the offensive line, what they're doing both in the past game and in the run game is, is doing wonders for the offensive line.

I also just think they're kind of kicking ass in the run game.

Kamara is certainly gonna out kick his, his ad P if that keeps up.
