Cowboys Will Beat The Saints: Lick It, Stick It, Put It In The Books

It's only week four of this early 2015 season, but the Dallas Cowboys have already found themselves in a little bit of a pickle. Sitting with a record of 2-1 is nice and all, but after this game against the New Orleans Saints, the Cowboys have a tough little four game stretch ahead of them. They will face both of the Super Bowl participants as well as rematches against their two toughest divisional foes. During this span, victories will be tough to come by so it becomes very important to leave the house of the rising sun with an all-important third mark in the win column.

Now I'm going to explain to you why it is a game the Cowboys will win.

First, let's lay a couple things on the table.

The Cowboys only loss came against an Atlanta Falcons team that is 3-0 this season. How you feel about that loss could depend on just how good you think the Falcons are. Last season, Atlanta was 6-10 and the only reason their record was that good was because they dominated a weak NFC South division. Outside their division, Atlanta was 1-9 on the season. So the expectation of some is that they can't be that much better. But this is a different Falcons team. Already, they have three wins outside their division and are playing good football on both sides of the ball. They fired head coach Mike Smith and replaced him with the Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator ace, Dan Quinn. Atlanta is a good football team.

In the game last week, the Cowboys didn't have Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Greg Hardy, Randy Gregory, Rolando McClain, Orlando Scandrick, Jeremy Mincey, Ron Leary, or Terrell McClain. That is seven starters and two key rotational rushmen which is a big chuck of talent to be missing. So the Cowboys team on the field last Sunday was a group that you'd expect to have their hands full against an opponent with the caliber of talent of the Falcons.

So what does this mean going into the game with the New Orleans Saints?...

Who to watch
Lance Dunbar -- The fourth-year running back had only one carry in Week 3, but led the Cowboys in receiving yards after Weeden dumped it down to him 10 times for 100 yards. With the Dallas offense being careful not to put too much pressure on Weeden's shoulders, Dunbar has been the quarterback's check-down and screen pass recipient of choice, so keeping him in check will be a key for the Saints.

Bobby Richardson -- Starting defensive end Akiem Hicks was surprisingly traded to the New England Patriots on Wednesday, forcing the Saints to rely on an undrafted rookie to step into his place. Richardson and Tavaris Barnes will likely both get increased snaps in Hicks' absence, but Richardson is the guy that will likely take the majority of reps against the Cowboys.

I hope we come to play. New Orleans is getting all of their hurt players back this week. Byrd, Brees, spiller, etc etc. They've lost 6 straight at home. They are extremely desperate. I'm very worried about this game

Although I agree with you that there is a possibility, however remote, that the Cowboys can win in NO. They play more focused on the road than at JerryWorld. But the coaches will need to put more of the playbook in the game plan. I know they said all this mumbo jumbo (and gumbo) about having confidence in Weeden, but what else are they going to say?

The Saints are going to stack the box again and make Weeden throw it DOWNFIELD to beat them. That is the blueprint against him and he will keep seeing that until he can prove he will pass to his WRs on intermediate to deep routes. All I can say is Matt Cassel better be ready and the D will need to win this one.

If we are the type of team I think we are. We will win this game.

If we don't? Time to reevaluate some things. But i'm confident going in.
