Early take on how we match up next week vs. Dallas?

Lattimore isn't going to be 100%. And honestly unless he is close to it, he should not play.

If necessary put Adebo with safety coverage over Lamb on the outside and bracket coverage with Taylor when Lamb moves to the slot. We drafted Kool-Aid specifically because Lattimore cannot stay healthy. Put him out on the other side on Cooks on a island and ask the kid to keep Cooks in front of him. Then generate enough up front pressure so that Dak doesn't have time to set up the explosives that will kill us.

There are 15 games after this. We will need Lattimore for the season. There will always be a #1 receiver on each and every team. If the Saints do nothing else but play Lattimore in division games so he can take on London and Evans and shut them down, that would be better than trotting him out when he's not ready, injure himself worse and then be out for weeks like last year.

Lattimore is not healthy. He is not 100%. So, given that, what do you want to do?

Yea if he’s not 100% then we have no choice to play around Lattimore, your theory sounds plausible. But maybe if ML isn’t 100% just let Lattimore him play early-on one on one vs Lamb. just to let Dallas know that we have th tool in the toolbox. Regarding his injury we might be making more of it than is there. Da pulled Tyran M in the Carolina game in an effort to preserve him, I wouldn’t be surprised if we did the same with Lattimore. Maybe that’s why Latt said he’s good. I don’t know, but he still could have a minor injury and have been pulled as well. So I guess we’ll have to find out at game time.
