Tom Brady has heaped praise on the New Orleans Saints' offense, which has impressed under new coordinator Klint Kubiak and quarterback Derek Carr.
The New Orleans Saints' offense has been a revelation in the first two weeks of the 2024 season, answering any doubts surrounding quarterback Derek Carr and leaving none other than Tom Brady in awe.
After demolishing the Carolina Panthers 47-10 in Week 1, the Saints followed up with a 44-19 blowout of the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, amassing 432 yards of offense. The performance left an imprint on Brady, who was particularly effusive in his praise for the team's new offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak.
Tom Brady Impressed by Resurgent New Orleans Saints Offense, Derek Carr's Performance
"I think that gives you a sign of things to come for this New Orleans offense," Brady said. "Now the question is, can they do that consistently well?"
Kubiak has implemented a dynamic and multifaceted scheme that has exploited opponents' weaknesses.
"They mixed personnel, they mixed formations, they had these challenging motions, and then they got these chunk plays early in the game off the play action," Brady said. "Derek Carr, we had a lot of questions about him. He made some A-plus throws today down the field, hitting guys in stride."
Carr, who struggled in his first season with the Saints last year, has looked revitalized under Kubiak.
"He looks so comfortable in this offense," Brady explained. "One of the knocks on him in his career is throwing the ball under duress. And I think what Kubiak has done a good job of is he's not allowing these defenses to tee off with their pass rush."
Brady believes the Saints' offense is a force to be reckoned with, especially with Carr playing at a high level.
"In this scheme, if you play from ahead, then the defense has to deal with every bootleg, every gimmick play, and then high-percentage passes that they have in the offense. It's very hard to stop," Brady said.
However, Brady cautions that the Saints need to maintain their consistency.
"You have games like this. You have games like last week. Can you string together a whole season of that? "Those are the types of questions Derek has a chance to answer for himself. If [he does] that, they're certainly going to be a team to deal with in the postseason."
The Saints have a chance to prove their staying power in Week 3 when they face the Indianapolis Colts.
