Observations from the Saints' Dominating Win vs Raiders

My Post Mortem Monday Review:

The Downers (and I’m really nitpicking here)
- Lutz is still off a bit. Not sure if he’s fully recovered or if he needs to get into a groove. Missing chip shots used to never happen with him. Now, not so much.
- “Starters” are still on the sidelines. Problematic getting into the meat of the season. Side note: Washington is no Ingram. Get well soon Big Guy!
- ….I literally have nothing else!

The Uppers (and for once I had to trim down this list)
- Olave continues to be a shining star and is very much in the running for ROY.
- Werner is like horse $h!t on a farm! He’s all over the place! 11 tackles and 7 solos!
- Dline was spectacular! Turner, Big O, and Davenport! Serve up more please!!!
- Taylor. The fact that they put him on Adams and held him to ONE reception for THREE yards cannot be understated! I’ll go out on a limb and say this is shaping up to be one of the BEST DB corps in the league (when healthy)!
- Turnovers. Finally on the plus side of that equation. We got one and didn’t give one up!
- Oline pass protection and run blocking was rock solid. Second straight game where Dalton was not sacked! AWESOME!
- Dalton played mistake free football. Got rid of the ball quickly. Hit his read progressions without hesitation. Ball control was flawless.
- Coaching. Not sure what changed this week, but good creative play calling, use of their top weapons (AK41 and Olave), taking care of the ball and eliminating bone headed penalties was obviously a priority this week!

And last but not least… This squad pitched a friggin’ SHUT OUT!!!! I can’t remember the last time I saw that!
