I think the Cowboys should get into a shootout with the Saints. No doubt that this would be advantage New Orleans, but controlling the clock running and playing good defense just simply does not work for the Cowboys. Garrett lacks any originality and creativity--so when he runs, that's it, that's all he does. The other team will catch on and bend, but NOT break, and in doing so just waste the time on the clock and result in absolutely zero points, yet again, while the NO offense will score at will on a defense that bends for a while and then inevitably breaks.
And who knows? Maybe playing some aggressive, throw it deep, multiple receiver sets would give the players a little confidence. They are so drab and lifeless that maybe a big play or two would actually remind them that they're supposed to like playing the game.
