With many promises coming over the off season about changes to the offense it was yet to be seen during preseason if any of them would be kept. However, The Saints would put together a complete and dominant victory with control of the defensive and offensive flows. While not being a huge yardage game Derek Carr’s performance came in with his highest passer rating as a Saint carving the Carolina secondary.

The confidence gained will play a big factor as the Saints prepare for Dallas on Sunday. With a rise in quality of competition the big numbers put up against Carolina could be the baseline to fine the reality of where this team is.
