Cowboys vs. Saints Game Info
When: Sunday, September 15, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. ET
Where: AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas
TV Info: FOX

After firing on all cyclinders in a week one massacre of the Panthers, we go on the road to face an excellent regular season team in the Dallas Cowboys. Not only do they have an explosive offensive, they generate a ton of pressure on defense. While beating the Panthers in that manner was satisfying for the soul, this will be a statement game and give us a good idea of what to expect for the rest of the season imo.

On paper, we match up pretty well defensively. The biggest question here will be how will Carr and our offensive line handle their pass rush. How will Kubiak game plan for that and will Carr be able to execute?

Cowboys vs. Saints Odds

BetMGM Cowboys (-6.5) 45.5
DraftKings Cowboys (-7) 45
FanDuel Cowboys (-6.5) 45.5

It's going to be a big, big week.

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.

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.

The amount of pressure they were able to generate against the Browns was scary. With that being said, Deshaun Watson was hot garbage. This will be a true test to see if our offensive line has really improved. I do think we should be able to run the football but we'll see how Kubiak gameplans.

The thing about the Dallas pass rush is that they line up Parsons everywhere.

Gotta somehow keep Carr clean.

I hope the Saints keep a FB or TE next to Carr for pass plays to try to keep him clean.

I hope the Saints keep a FB or TE next to Carr for pass plays to try to keep him upright.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
