Week 2: Saints @ Dallas Cowboys

Dallas will be a tough opponent.

Zimmer is already game-planning for us (he has tape). Their defensive line is pretty stout & our offensive line will be tested early. Have to find a way to keep DLawrence and Parsons contained.

Winnable but the Saints must bring their A game, specifically in those trenches.

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.
