Dak’s first test this season

[Silverz1972]

Saints run defense is tough up the middle so dallas is going have to go to the air to move the ball probably and loosen up the defense.

I think we try a few wr end around sand some pitch options in the run game.

They do have Eli apple on their team so they can be exploited.

This will definitely be dak’s first decent defense he has faced this season and will tell us whether he has improved or if it’s been the competition.

Isn't the Saints defense ranked towards the bottom half of the league currently? I also heard they didn't get one sack against Seattle. I'm not sure if it's true, but that's what I've heard.

This is another practice game. First tough challenge will be Green Bay.

They have played Houston, rams, and Seattle in Seattle.

Definitely the toughest defense we have played this season. Think it says more about who we have played so far.

I’m worried without Gallup and waiting for the MRI results with Cooper. I remember a couple years back Dez got a “precautionary MRI” on his ankle and next thing you know he was out 4-6 weeks. If they’re both out our hope is to keep it low scoring and run Elliott 35 times.

This is test #4

Complete nonsense. Regardless of the outcome it will be poked at because of Drew Brees absence. The first real "test" is Green Bay.

 

[Retro88]

This is not going to be an easy game. I believe we will win but the Saints are more then capable of weathering the storm without Brees. Cobb should absolutely eat tho. I would be shocked if he doesnt get 6 or 7 catches for 80-100 and a td. They cant stop any decent slot WR

Every game in the NFL is a test — especially in the division. Even the Cowboys dynasty teams would lose to weak divisional foes.

All games + Superbowl are preseason this year. So said 23% of posters on this forum.

If we win the narrative is going to be "Saints aren't that good without Brees". If we lose, it will be "See I told you. Cowboys are frauds."

It was like that last year when Dak and Cooper lit up the E-girls, Falcons, and the Deadskins. Afterwards the narrative was "They got lucky. There is no way they can beat the Saints next week."

 

[Daktozekecoop]

It will be Daks 4th test this season.

 

[Daktozekecoop]

I think Dallas is wayyyyy the superior team and they will be sharp not overlooking the Saints, and so will dominate.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Some consider the Saints with no Brees to be similar to Washington. A lot of good pieces here and there, but no real engine to make them go.

 

[jay94]

Dak has had plenty of tests and has passed them all, he is the least of my worries in this upcoming game.

4th Season.

4th Game.

4th Test.

Last time Dak saw this defense it was in Dallas and the Cowboys scored 13 points. The Saints offense couldnt of played any worse. I bet the Saints are loaded with revenge. This will be a tough game! Brees had 127 yds passing and there is no way Bridgewater could be that awful. Kamara had 72 combined yds while Zeke had 135 combined yds. The Saints played so bad it looked like Payton threw the game. That being said the Cowboys defense played great shutting down them down but I expect a different Saints team.

Watson gets over 260 yds passing and 3/1 td/int. Hyde went 10 carries for 83 yds. Anything can happen on any day but I'm not sure why the Saints are a "test."

 

[Frozen700]

Saints have no QB and the Defense isnt that great.

Not a real test

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

I actually think the Dallas offense will be able to do whatever they want against New Orleans. I'm worried about false starts with the crowd noise. SuperDome will be LOUD. The question to me is can Dallas slow Kamara down? That's the key to this game. If not-it'll be a shootout.
