00:00Joe, 91 total points for the Saints. No other team has more

00:08than 70. The Cardinals have the second most total points

00:11scored this year with sixty-nine through two weeks and

00:14of course, we know the overall offensive struggles that we

00:17have seen throughout the National Football League. So, a

00:20really big game on Sunday to continue to back up this

00:24impressive start against the Eagles team that should also

00:27frankly be two and oh but coughed up a five or six point

00:31lead in the final 90 seconds on Monday night against Atlanta

00:36and here's where it gets interesting. Are the Saints

00:40worthy of being a two and a half point home favorite

00:42against a team we expect to contend for the NFC crown. It's

00:47a two and a half point spread in favor of the Saints. The

00:50total up there at forty-nine and a hook. Joe, in your

00:54estimation, does it make sense to see New Orleans laying near

00:57a field goal at home against the Birds? Uh well, listen, I

01:01mean, you can take the Carolina game and throw it out the

01:04window, right? It was, let's just focus on what we saw on

01:08the road against a Dallas defense that many people

01:12believed Ben was gonna be one of the best in the NFL. You

01:17bring in a new offensive coordinator there in Clint

01:20Kubiak and one of the what we thought Ben ahead was one of

01:24the least talented uh offensive lines in the NFL this year and

01:29in typical Kubiak fashion cuz the old man did this a lot too.

01:34He would make this unit look like they were all world and

01:37that's what's happening. You realize the Saints scored

01:40touchdowns on their first six drives in Dallas and all but

01:45one of them was at least 70 yards. Uh Ben, it is

01:49unbelievable. You can't get the Derek Carr. Dallas blitzed

01:53them over 40% of the time. They couldn't get to him and he's

01:56finding the open receivers and they're getting yards after the

01:59catch. This is a real offense. The question is whether the

02:02defense can hold up but how good is the defense gotta be Ben

02:06when you're scoring forty points a game to be completely

02:08honest here and Philly has way more questions on defense than

02:13we have answers right now.
