How do you cover Jimmy Graham?

[lqmac1]

do you just double him and TRY to take him out of the game? He, IMO, is really their only threat! What's your defensive plan?

 

[21Savage]

Do whatever Minnesota did. I know we're all supposed to be running scared as cowboy fans but let's be honest, this saints offense hasn't exactly been gang busters so far this year.

If it's a shootout, I'll take our offense any day!

 

[CATCH17]

The Cowboys will probably play 5 yards off of him and give him all the room he needs.

Good point. That game film should be helpful.

Put a DB on him, New England completely shut him out last year but treating him like a #1 WR

Probably just treat him like a WR.

Colston? He's VERY good.

Colston? He's VERY good.

He's not a bad receiver, but he's far from elite. No need to double him.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I don't think that Graham is their only offense. Minnesota has a decent defense and the Saints put up over 100 yards rushing on them. Breezy hit 7 different receivers, besides Graham, against the Vikes and Cooks had 8 receptions. I think it would be a mistake to think that Graham is the only guy we need to worry about.

 

[cowboys1981]

Shadow him with Moore. Leave Carr on Cooks and Scan on Stills.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I don't love a Colston/Mo matchup. Colston is exactly the type of WR that burns Mo deep. Big speed guy that runs right by him. I guess it doesn't really matter. It is what it is.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Carr on Cooks? I don't think that is a good idea. No way Carr can run with Cooks. Although, putting Claiborne on Cooks would be a disaster. I would put Scandrick on Cooks and tell Scandrick to get physical with him on the line of scrimmage.

I really don't like the way our secondary matches up with the Saints. I think our best hope lies in running the ball and dominating the time of possession. The offense is going to have to win the game for us.

Yeah, like last year.

 

[John813]

Not going to be a fun matchup for Dallas.

I hope they have one guy hit him within the first 5 yards to at least delay his routes.

 

[erod]

Put a corner on him, or a linebacker close with a safety over the top.

Teams are figuring him out thanks to Seattle last year. Just watch the tape.

Who was the corner that was shadowing Graham?

I don't think we have anyone that could go 1-1with him except for Pre Dallas Carr.

 

[Risen Star]

You man him up with Claiborne, provide safety help with Heath and assume he's been sufficiently erased.

Pre-Dallas Carr. Dallas Carr. They're the same player. You just overrated him.

lmao!!!!

Risen is clearly in a great mood for making jokes this morning.
