So, how do we set up to cover CeeDee and Cooks? Especially if Lattimore is unable to start?

Consistent, relentless pressure on Dak.

Disrupt his timing. He's a fumbler.

Saints defense will be good enough.

If Latt can't go on Sunday, I'd double Lamb.

Maybe let the Honey Badger shadow him.

Lamb has become Dak's security blanket over the years.

I like the Honey Badger over the top on cover 2. But who do you let cover Cooks 1:1? Adebo or Taylor?

Belichick's philosophy... Take away their best player and make the others beat you.

Bracket Lamb and force the ball to go to everyone else.

Any Given Sunday.

There's a lot of past familiarity between the Saints' offense and the Cowboys' defense. Both Kubiak and Janocko served in Zimmer's staff while he was the HC and defensive playcaller in Minnesota.

Kubiak was his QB coach (2019-20) and his OC (2021) and Janocko served in various offensive coaching roles almost the whole time Zimmer was there (2015-21).

So, Zimmer probably has a good idea how to scheme against these guys' tendencies and vice versa.

Should be an interesting game from that perspective as well.
