A couple of concerns for Cowboys game

While I don't think there has been a defense yet that has pressured Prescott, and I do think we can, our secondary is suspect. I worry about the big play even moreso than being picked apart. I don't think our defense will grant him the time he has been afforded in previous games to pick us apart.

Time of possession is my second concern. If they control TOP our D line will tire and obviously all of things that go with that.

I do feel we stand a great chance to win and I know our strength of schedule will have played into our favor, because we have a had a tough schedule to start and the Cowboys have played no one.

Any thoughts?

Don't want em to get your goat don't show em where it's hid.

Re: A couple of concerns for Cowboys game

As it stand right now in the season their receiving corps is probably not as good as what we have faced in the past few weeks. They’re a little banged up.
I don’t think our secondary is as bad as they look I just think some receivers have made freakish and lucky catches for the most part. I have seen some pretty tight coverage over the last couple weeks and I don’t think DA is doing them any favors when it comes to scheme.
We can’t start slow with stupid penalties but if TB can air a few out and make their D respect him we may have a shot.

I’m really concerned about Amari Cooper. If Zeke gets a couple good runs, I can see them going over the top

I would double him. Man up on slow JWitten and let Cobb try and beat you.

I believe the secondary will play better tomorrow night. Our defense has proven that it can get to the QB & apply pressure. Once Dak get "hurried", his check down has always been old man Witten.

Re: A couple of concerns for Cowboys game

Our WR core is my biggest concern.

They will lock up MT13 and Kamara, none of our other guys could get open with no defenders on the field.

Couple that TB at QB instead of Brees, yeah not a good matchup.

This matchup is more in the Saints favor than last week's matchup in rainy Seattle.

I'm sure that Ginn will have a couple of big plays. I wouldn't be surprised if Cook has a good game here as well.

The Cowboys are legit. I hope the game is competitive. I fear it could be the worst Prime Time Dome performance under Payton.

Re: A couple of concerns for Cowboys game

Week to week league.

If the Saints play like they did last week in a hostile environment (S/T, create turnovers on D/QB don't throw INT's), we'll close out Sunday night with another impressive win.

I'll pass on drinking the Cowboy kool aid. They aren't playing the Deadskins, Giants or spineless Dolphins tonight. Saints are a very good & dangerous team .. especially at home.

Can't wait.

Even if we do lose, it won't be a blowout win for them. We will at least expose them.

Re: A couple of concerns for Cowboys game

Rankins is back. Onyemata looks good and Davenport is showing why we moved up to get him. Oh yes, don't forget about Cam Jordan. The defensive line should give us the edge and that should help out the back end. My concern is how often the secondary gets beaten will ultimately determine the outcome of this game.
