How does the Dallas D stop the Saints?

[nathanlt]

As far as I'm concerned, it's inevitable that Drew Brees will throw multiple touchdowns. Knowing that, I'd have the corners play tight on receivers, because Dallas will stack the line with the pass rush. I'd say, you'd have to pressure Drew into quick throws. He's good at it, but I'd want to give the CB's a chance to jump a short route. In addition, Drew will probably get hit multiple times, and that messes with the "time to throw clock"

** ter multiple sacks and pressures, I think the Cowboys would settle in to a more typical approach after that. Lead off with heavy blitzes!!! (And of course, the offense should win the time of possession with productive drives, keep the defense fresh and effective.)

What do you think? What's your recipe to slow down Drew Brees?

They wont stop them, but they need to slow them down and take the ball away a couple of times.

Stay off the field and keep the Dallas offense on it.

Pressure Brees, do not give him clean pockets to throw from and put those hands up to block his line of sight.

 

[glimmerman]

Pressure and coverage. And we need to get points on about every drive we get.

I just hope the offense doesn't rely on the defense to win the game.........ya hear that Garrett/Linehan?

 

[dallas72]

Put Brees in concussion protocol

The bottom line is, no matter how good your defense plays against the Saints, your offense has to lay up AT LEAST a 30 burger.

Root for multiple injuries to the Saints.

They won't stop it, I'm just hoping they can keep it in the high 20's or low 30s.

This defense is good and are a HUGE reason we have won the games we have this year and besides the titans game, they have done a good job. With that said, they're good but not great. They have issues with getting off the field on 3rd downs which will be a issue vs the saints. They also aren't a high turnover defense and saints are a low turnover team.

They are a bend don't break and thats fine but sometimes they bend too much. Against other teams, it hasn't been a issue because they don't have the offense and QB like the saint's and they can force fgs or punts. The saints don't kick many fgs or punt much and they take advantage of their opportunities .

burger?

 

[Sarge]

burger?

Yes, burger.

Press to throw off timing, be very disciplined in maintaining gaps against their run game. Best you can hope is to keep them in 3rd and long, so you can press and hopefully get home with some pressure.

 

[RodeoJake]

Ball control offense and contest every yard they get.

 

[rags747]

Saints will not kill us with down the field throws, Saints will kill us with dump offs to the backs with huge rac...

 

[Corso]

Yes, burger.

Righty-O.

 

[CCBoy]

Saints turn-overs and punts. None by the Cowboys...

 

[sureletsrace]

Defense will need to keep playing at a high level. Offense will need to have a very efficient day. I think if we can score 31+, we will win.

 

[blueblood70]

they wont they have to hope to slow them down enough to keep up..its the only game this year if I had to pick a score thats id be picking against the boys..

If we dont keep it under 30, we lose for sure..
