I feel like we have just been waiting for the Saints to break out and look like the team we all expect. The Saints are better then they have been playing and I fully expect them to play much better against us then they did the Browns.Saint's lost to the Browns last week. Just sayin.....
If Jones had any competitor in him, he'd open the roof just to play a little mindgame. But he won't.Factors working against us: ATT Stadium provides perfect passing conditions and will appear like a home game to the Saints.
That's one word but I agree.If I were Marinelli, Id assign Claiborn to cover Graham.
Why?
Two words: Size

Apparently there is a misconception that Claiborne is our biggest, most physical corner. Carr is actually bigger if you want to get technical and preach "size".
Yea, I saw that the world's smartest football man suggested this matchup.
Here's the problem.....size, speed, strength, quickness, instincts.....it doesn't matter which one of those attributes he thinks Claiborne possesses because it's not going to help him one bit.
Cover Jimmy Graham?
Claiborne couldn't cover Kevin Ogletree at this point, and that moron thinks he's gonna do a decent job on the best TE in the game.
Either way put someone on him that can jump higher.Apparently there is a misconception that Claiborne is our biggest, most physical corner. Carr is actually bigger if you want to get technical and preach "size".
Carr on Graham is not a bad idea, actually. Try to take away that option and stack the line inside to get pressure up the middle, force Brees to throw to the outside receivers with clogged passing lanes. Brees has thrown his share of picks over the years. I have no doubt they will score no matter what we do but if you fuck with Brees' vision and take away his safest option we could come away with a few key turnovers.Apparently there is a misconception that Claiborne is our biggest, most physical corner.

IIRC we had a lead in that game, 10-7 based off of running the ball before the wheels fell off.Defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli will have to mix up the looks he gives Brees, but he might be helped more if Tony Romo & Co., keep Brees off the field.

That's correct.IIRC we had a lead in that game, 10-7 based off of running the ball before the wheels fell off.
2 points is one hell of a move for a terrible player.The Vegas betting lines probably moved 2 points in Dallas' favor once the Claiborne news broke.
