Seriously, I’ve never seen dominance like this. Just firing off the ball and putting them on skates every play. And continuing to block until their will is broken.

Alvin probably had 5 runs of the left side where he wasn’t TOUCHED until 7 yards downfield
 
I saw several pancake blocks.

Large holes for running lanes.

Only 1 sack. But really none on the offensive line. Carr was flushed to the right and tried to pick up some yardage but got stuffed for a 1 yard loss.

That was on him. He could have easily thrown the ball away instead of running

The Oline has been the biggest reason for Saints offensive domination 2 weeks in a row.

I don't think he was flushed, it was a designed roll out. Could have just thrown it away
 
It’s just phenomenal. No one expected them to play like this. Not even their mothers.

Fuaga is the real deal. Baldy said he could be the next Roaf. That’s rarified air but he’s playing like it so far.

Penning can’t get enough praise for changing the trajectory of his career. Had folks discussing if he should be benched or cut. Everyone wanted competition at RT. Now? He’s mauling defenders. Just killing them. He looks completely different. He’s not perfect but man he is coming into his own.

McCoy, Ruiz and Patrick have all been very good as well. All these guys deserve praise.

Offensive Lineman love to punish Defensive Lineman. They get slammed all day by defensive big boys and I love seeing them tee off and put em down. Running the ball is our thing this year, who knew?!!!
 
I was down on the team but thought the oline may be better.

What is surprising me is how easy everything looks compared to last year when the easy stuff looked so difficult. I’m still pinching myself.
 
I think in pre-season we ran a vanilla offense and you saw a lot of true 1 on 1 matchups where our lineman struggled. With Kubiak's system, there's so much going on with the formation, movement and fakes that the defense can't just attack. That delay is a huge advantage for a lineman. Everyone is hitting their assignments too which means Kubiak's system is simple enough and well coached.
