Marinelli needs to plan for Graham

Wilcox needs to lower the boom on him. Early in the game.

Fixed.

Welcome to 2014 people, this isn't the Saints offense of 2-3 years ago.

They are good, but they were held to 20 points by the Vikings a week ago and to 24 by the Browns.

Their yds per attempt is down....yes, it is even lower than Dallas ypa in the passing game. Guess Brees has lost his arm strength too.

Their defense is below us in total yards, pts allowed and only has 4 sacks on the year.

Basically, we are looking at two teams that are very, very similar. Good offense, questionable defense. Gonna come down to which defense can make a few plays. I think both are going to give up a lot of yards and maybe points, but one of them is going to need to make some big plays to win this game.

If he fails to put together a strategy in stopping Jimmy Graham, it's going to be a long day for us against the Saints.

We have yet to slow down a single tight end so far this season, and Graham is probably the most dangerous.

I think it was Parcell's who had a pretty good strategy for taking out the pass catching TE. He would have the olb lined up near the TE just get in the TE's way to throw off any timing routes the play may have planned. If I remember correctly, it worked pretty well.

In addition, the defenses the Saints have faced are ranked 11th (Minn), 27th (Atl) and 31st (Cle). In comparison we have played the 6th(SF), 5th(Ten) and 13th(StL). We will score on the Saints and score a lot, just depends on our defense to slow them a bit. We have made some big D plays in the last two games despite giving up yards. I expect more of the same.

Carr on him all game, put as many CBs on the field as it takes to match up on the other receivers. If McClain is back we can take our chances vs the run.

 

[SacramentoKing]

Have Claiborne shadow him

 

[CowboyGil]

Sack #9. Often. Or in our case, the best defense is a good offense. Run the ball. All day.

 

[cowboyblue22]

cowboys defense has one thing that is really hurting them now its not getting lots of pressure on qb and they missed McClain on the running down in st Louis. they will be in nickel I would assume most of the game against the saints sunday.

Every team plans for Graham.
Graham usually wins.



Do you not think that every team has planned for Jimmy Graham the last few years?

You can plan for him all you want but chances are he is going to get his.

And if some way comes about that your team pretty shuts him down, it probably means that Colston or Cooks will eat you alive.

I will go out on a limb and say maybe we should try to stop Drew Brees more than any other player on the Saints Offense.

I take sides with your thoughts on the situation!

 

[Boyz981]

I'd sign this guy....

 

[Hoofbite]

Better plan for Cooks too.....the guy could fly

He can. He has speed that's on that next level.

Last year secondary held Graham to 59 yards on 5 catches he was not the problem the problem was Colston with the 107 and a TD and Kenny Stills had a good game 3 for 75 and a TD. Dallas can't focus on one guy and just let others rip us apart.
