That was probably the best OL performance I've ever seen from us, between rush and pass protection against a stout Rams defensive front. While Brees had a great game and Thomas destroyed Peters and Joyner, I think the OL has to get the game ball here. What a refreshing thing to see and they are the main reason Brees is passing at a 77 percent clip. Also, no sack given up.

They have to be considered the best OL in the league after that performance. I don't wanna sell our FB short on this either, tons of great blocks there, too.

Josh Hill comes up big too in the blocking game.

Tyler Higbee was eating Cam Jordan's lunch half the day.

Absolutely. Brees had days to sit back there and thread needles. If the O-line performed like they did in the Vikings game, we would have lost by 20 yesterday.

I’d say Rams have the #2 Oline in the league but I agree, CJ was neutralized as far as pass rush

Aaron Donald is quite possibly the best defensive player in the NFL. And having Suh and Fowler flanking him honestly scared the hell out of me coming into the game. The Saints' Oline flat out dominated yesterday and made their front 4 a nonfactor.

That run to the right where they passed off Donald was pure awesomeness. You couldn't have done that any better.

I've been singing their praises since last year. They're the main difference we were so successful last year and have been this year. Real investment into the O-line starting in 2016 is what turned out finesse offense into the real deal.

Plus having Davenport out probably allowed LA to double Cam often to keep him off Goff. I think Davenport would have been a noticeable difference yesterday if healthy.

CJ was held badly at least twice. Refs were letting both O Lines play. Although I feel like the Saints just had a good scheme and didn’t have to hold. Rams got away with at least 4 egregious holds.

Best OL in football right now. They've faced 3 teams in a row with some amazing big sack games and have only given up 1 sack

Ravens had 11 sacks against the Titans--1 against the Saints
Vikings had 10 sacks against the Lions--0 against the Saints
Rams had 7 sacks against the Cardinals--0 against the Saints

He got by Peat a couple times. Once made a play on Kamara and once or twice hurried Brees but didn't effect the outcome any. I expected him to have a few more plays they kept him in check pretty damn good.
