I'd put scandrink on jimmy.
Carr on Lance Moore, and force Kenny stills to beat us.

Doesn't help NO that colston has been out, and that sproles had a concussion this past week.

Scandrick is 5'10" in cleats. If I'm Brees and you put him on Jimmy Graham I'm throwing it out of principal lol.

Haha yeah but who else can cover him efficiently? Brandon Carr isn't exactly much taller lol. I don't have much faith in the S position to help.

I don't think we have a single player who can cover graham. He would need a good amount of bracketing. I say you commit two resources to him and single up on the WRs.

We'll lose if we get a lead on these guys.

Im kinda hoping we're trailing most of the game until it gets to the 4th quarter.

No team lacks urgency more than Dallas so at least we'll have to keep our foot on the gas if New Orleans can keep a small lead.

Graham was really hurting in that game...a shadow of himself.

I also thought Talib was allowed to play pretty physical by the refs. Not saying he was totally outside the rules, but I could see our guys getting flagged left and right if we tried that, especially I'm their house.

You're not gonna find a whole lot of teams with a winning record vs "good teams" over a 3 1/2 year span.

We have the 28th worst win percentage against teams over .500 since Garrett took over.

Belicheck threw Talib on Graham and shut him completely down but I don't think Kiffen and Garrett have the cojones to do something so brilliant.

Well - they better or Graham will win the game for the Saints all by himself - he's that good.

Hard to believe Brees isn't going to shred our defense.

The Cowboys are in good spirits right now, but they are going down hard in New Orleans. It's not going to be pretty.

Dogs on the road and playing a good team where no one will pick us to win. Denver was the only team that scared me, but no longer fear them. SNF, usually, Romo shines and takes over. I'm actually pretty optimistic that we'll come out on top. Brees is solid but he'll throw a pick or two and we MUST MUST MUST double Graham. I say put Carr oh him with safety help.

I´d love that, kind of how Belichick put Talib on him the whole game and he didn´t have a catch. But unfortunately Garrett would never do it, you have to think outside the box once in a while and clearly Garrett doesn´t.

edit: I just saw many had mentioned it earlier, anyway, that´s the way to go.

Let's be honest here, Rob's defense down there is nothing to be afraid of. Remember, Romo practiced against it. Geno Smith beat them.... And Eberflus(sp) was his right hand man and he's still in Dallas & he knows robs weakness's.

Under Garrett we are 4-19 against teams with winning records.....................that is 28th in the NFL over Garrett's tenure as HC......................No, we dont usually win these type of games.

If we WIN AGAINST the Saints I will profess my man love for Garrett. LOL I'm kidding. No ways.

I don't think we will win at all. Just hopeful that we do.

I don't doubt this, given our record against winning teams, but I'm curious what that stat might say about our team. Do you have a link to the context by any chance? I'd also be interested in the corollary re: records against teams with losing records. I'm sure many good teams have outstanding records in this regard, but ours has to be right up there.
