The Dallas Cowboys got to AT&T Stadium for the first time this season, and it was a stinker. The Cowboys lost in remarkable fashion by allowing the New Orleans Saints to score on virtually every drive until the fourth quarter. The entire team underperformed, but what about the rookie class? OT Tyler Guyton The offensive line was average in pass blocking and much the same in run blocking. Guyton had his fair share of issues and allowed a debilitating sack. He also allowed four total pressures and got flagged twice. It was a rough day across the offensive line but Guyton certainly had his problems at times in the game. DE Marshawn Kneeland The defensive line against the Saints was terrible. The defensive issues from top to bottom rotated around the problems the defensive line had. They got pushed off the ball with complete ease in the run game, and the pass rush was just as bad. Figuring out which was worse is like a Rorschach test where there is no wrong answer. Kneeland had a positive game in Week 1, then last week played 19 snaps creating zero sacks, zero pressures and only registering one assisted tackle. The picture for the rest of the defensive line, from veteran to rookie, holds much the same in terms of production. iOL Cooper Beebe Beebe was not too bad in general terms and was one of the more efficient pass blockers. He did allow one sack, but other than the one hiccup he played steady in a game that collapsed all around him. LB Marist Liufau Liufau played a lot more this week than he did last week. He played 39 snaps on defense which is sharp rise from not featuring last week. He made four tackles and three difficult defensive stops. The issue for Liufau came two-fold against the Saints. He was left high and dry on a lot of running plays by the line and forced him to cover two gaps and shed blocks. The second problem was indecision on where he needed to be, but both these issues are attributed to the same problem, poor defensive line play. Liufau wasn’t the only victim of the same problem. DeMarvion Overshadown had issues getting to the ball carrier due to defensive linemen upfront getting easily pushed off the ball. It was a tough day for the linebacker corps, so much so Mike Zimmer ended up playing 5-2 defensive formation (Mammoth formation). For a rookie trying figure it out on the fly, this made it even tougher. CB Caelen Carson Carson played 31 snaps on defense and looked to stack positive games after a good Week 1 game. He made four tackles and allowed both targets for receptions. The secondary was a muddle against the Saints and much of that was due to Derek Carr picking his spots and targets with very little pressure up front. WR Ryan Flournoy Inactive/Did not play in this game. TE Brevyn Spann-Ford Spann-Ford played a little more this week due to Jake Ferguson missing with his knee injury. He played 22 offensive snaps with the most important part coming in the form as a blocker. He was targeted once in passing game and failed to bring the catch in. As a run blocker he was actually one of the more effective players against the Saints. S Emany Johnson Inactive/Did not play for this game. LB Brock Mogensen Inactive/Did not play for this game.

Jonathan Hui-Imagn Images Mike McCarthy’s Cowboys will have to bounce back from a historically ugly Week 2 loss against the Saints. Thankfully, we’ve them do it before. The only positive from the Cowboys’ Week 2 loss to New Orleans is that it’s over. While the Saints may have raised plenty of red flags about Dallas on both sides of the ball, it’s still just a single game in September that can be forgotten with better days ahead. Over the last few years since Mike McCarthy became head coach, the Cowboys have found themselves in this position more than once. While none were as demoralizing as what happened this past Sunday, Dallas has had some ugly September losses the last couple of seasons. In fact, they’ve been 1-1 after two weeks in four out of the five years since McCarthy arrived. We won’t even get into 2020; between it being McCarthy’s first season and the toll of the pandemic, the early-season results are skewed. Dallas did go 1-1 to start the year but then lost two more before Dak Prescott’s Week 5 injury, so it was just a funky outlier of a season that doesn’t really aid analysis. In 2021, the Cowboys opened with a dramatic loss on the road to Tampa Bay. Dak Prescott and Tom Brady dueled to the end, with Brady doing his legendary thing to engineer a last-minute drive for a game-winning field goal. It was a good loss for Dallas, if you believe in those things, against the reigning Super Bowl Champions. They’d go on to win their next six games on the road to one of those 12-5 seasons we’ve grown accustomed to. Dallas would again lose a season-opener to the Buccaneers in 2022, but this one was not even close to being a moral victory. At home against a much lesser Tampa team, the same one that went 8-9 and got destroyed by the Cowboys in the playoffs, Dallas lost 19-3 with complete ineptitude offensively and defensively. Like Alvin Kamara this past Sunday, Bucs RB Leonard Fournette went off for 137 total yards on 23 touches. But despite how badly that game went, Dallas would recover with a four-game win streak and another 12-5 finish, then got revenge on the Bucs in the first round of the postseason. Last year the bad loss didn’t come until Week 3 but it still happened, this time at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals. Dallas had steamrolled soft New York competition the first two weeks in the Giants and Jets, winning both by a combined 70-10 score. But overconfidence wasn’t so much the issue in Arizona as injuries; Trevon Diggs suffered his season-ending injury earlier that week and Dallas was also without Tyron Smith and Zack Martin on the offensive line. The Cardinals, despite having career backup Josh Dobbs at QB, took advantage and embarrassed Dallas 28-16. But as you know, once again, Dallas handled that humiliation and posted their third-straight 12-5 record. So what does this even mean? Each year is different and you can only put so much stock in trends from season to season. But as Cowboys fans are desperately looking for hope after what transpired on Sunday, perhaps this offers some modicum of comfort. If the win over Cleveland boosted our expectations too high, don’t let this loss drag them too low. The true caliber of this Dallas team is probably somewhere in the middle. Granted, after that terrible home playoff loss to the Packers and an offseason widely criticized for its seeming lack of urgency, pessimism is understandable. Some went into this season without much hope, so Sunday’s loss may have felt closer to validation. Wherever you fall on this emotional spectrum, the Baltimore Ravens are headed to town with a chance to either lift spirits or crush them further. If they deliver another haymaker, it could mean this season isn’t heading in the typical direction of the last three. If the Cowboys bounce back with an impressive home win, maybe it’s a sign that the New Orleans loss was more of an anomaly than a harbinger of doom. One game doesn’t define a season, at least not until mid-January. Just as those September losses in past years didn’t typify the team’s performance, this last one could go down as just another early-season oddball. For now, Dallas is 1-1 with its whole 2024 life ahead. But it may not take long, even as soon as this coming Sunday against Baltimore, for even the more conservative of us to start reaching for the panic button.

Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Who wins tonight… Atlanta or Philadelphia? The Atlanta Falcons visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Our partners at FanDuel have the Eagles as 5.5-point favorites in the game. The Eagles won a hard-fought duel with the Packers in Week 1 and scored plenty of points in the process. But they will be without star receiver A.J. Brown who is out with a hamstring injury. The Falcons looked terrible in a Week 1 home loss. It’s hard to believe the Falcons will turn it around on the road against a potent Eagles team. Take the Eagles 27-13. Check out FanDuel for all of your NFL betting needs.

Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Losing an NFL game is one thing, but there is no reason that the Cowboys should have been beaten by the Saints as badly as they were. You are going to lose games in the NFL. As Dak Prescott noted in his postgame press conference, only one team in NFL history has gone undefeated and that occurred over 50 years ago. By the way, the last team to beat those Miami Dolphins before their run started was the Dallas Cowboys, mind you. As things relate to the current version of America’s Team though, we can compartmentalize them losing because winning in the NFL is a very difficult thing. We understand that. But getting absolutely destroyed the way that the Cowboys did at the hands of the New Orleans Saints is not a common thing. Allowing an opposing team to score touchdowns on their first six possessions is unheard of. We are here today to discuss our Day After Thoughts which is an exercise born out of the idea of letting emotions fade and context set in. Unfortunately as those things have happened things still look quite bad for Dallas. Maybe the Mike Zimmer hire was not the greatest thing ever On Sunday the Saints had 432 total yards, scored 44 points and held the ball for over half of the game. This is obviously quite the beating to put on your opponent. Mike Zimmer’s Cowboys watched it all happen and do you know who the last team was that the Saints administered this kind of effort towards? It was Mike Zimmer’s Minnesota Vikings back in 2020. Now this is an unfortunate coincidence obviously, but maybe just maybe the Mike Zimmer hire was not the answer to all defensive concerns for the Cowboys. Last week certainly made us believe (or at least want to believe) that it was the necessary antidote that was lurking in plain sight, but nothing about what we saw from Zimmer looked like a coordinator who can go shot for shot with scheming and matchups against his rival. That is what is most concerning from the effort on Sunday. The Cowboys obviously lost and did so badly, but New Orleans was so explosive and did not seem to have to really try all too hard. They had a phenomenal gameplan that Dallas seemed to have no idea how to stop it, or that was even coming despite constantly getting destroyed by Kyle Shanahan and his disciples. Zimmer was supposed to be the answer. We are only two weeks in and are now wondering if he is just another question. The lack of playmakers after CeeDee Lamb is an issue Predictably, the Dallas Cowboys have a skill position issue. This is predictable because it has been the case for a while now. When Dallas lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round two seasons ago, after Tony Pollard’s injury there was nobody who could make a play on the offense outside of CeeDee Lamb. Lamb is an immense weapon and one of the best in the NFL for what it’s worth. But football is a team game and he alone is not enough in today’s game where teams have a bevy of them to work with. As noted this was thought to be an issue for Dallas throughout the offseason and the roster construction process. The issue was exacerbated by Jake Ferguson’s absence in the contest as the likes of Luke Schoonmaker, Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks and KaVontae Turpin were relied on for serious and important offensive production. It is certainly fair to place blame on these players for not delivering because they are responsible as well. But to act like it made sense to run into the 2024 campaign with Lamb and a handful of maybes would not be fair. Not having an answer for the Kyle Shanahan-ness of the league is an ongoing problem that is not changing any time soon Back to our point about Mike Zimmer and whether or not he answers any question – to be fair the Cowboys have been failing this test for a while now. Changing study habits or the type of pencil you are using on the scantron (are those still a thing?) is hardly going to be what dramatically changes things. Kyle Shanahan, Matt LaFleur, Mike McDaniel and recently now Klint Kubiak are all people who learned from or are Kyle Shanahan himself. These are offenses that break the Cowboys and put them in a blender with an inability to fight their way out. It is not a secret whether to the Cowboys, or the league as a whole, that Shanahan is among the game’s most innovative minds. He is arguably number one in that sense. There is a reason his former staffers decorate the league whether in head coaching or offensive coordinator positions (play-caller spots in general), and there remains to be seen an instance where the Cowboys are able to fully and totally shut it down. Consider that Saints OC Klint Kubiak “only” spent last year with Shanahan as far as serious time is concerned and that he was able to completely eviscerate the Dallas defense and that it was only his second game ever as the offensive coordinator for New Orleans. This is an issue. Kubiak was an offensive coordinator for one season in the past though and it was for Mike Zimmer’s Minnesota Vikings. Like Shanahan and his crew relative to Dan Quinn, the Cowboys now have a defensive coordinator who’s former staffers have the kryptonite to take down. It is hard to trust that this issue will be fixed. But it has to be. Will it? We simply do not know.

Tim Heitman-Imagn Images Grades from Sunday’s game are (surprise!) not good for the Dallas Cowboys. If the Cowboys were feeling a little cocky following their big win over the Browns a week ago, they’ve certainly come back down to Earth after a blowout loss at home to the Saints. It was a complete reversal of last week’s performance, as the offense played well but the defense looked lost. Let’s get into some grades for all the different units in this one. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw two picks in this game, but it was definitely a better performance than last week for the quarterback despite facing another great defense. On the day, he completed 69.2% of his passes for 293 yards with a touchdown and the two aforementioned interceptions. Of course, one of those came as a result of his intended receiver falling down, while the other came late in the fourth quarter when the game was pretty much already over and Prescott was simply trying to create something out of nothing. For the most part, though, Prescott looked more like himself than he did in Week 1, though it was still not the type of performance we’re used to seeing from him. Grade: B Running backs The running backs didn’t get much of an opportunity in this game, since the Cowboys got down by so much so quickly, but they looked better than they did a week ago. Rico Dowdle, in particular, had a better game with 30 rushing yards on just seven carries. Ezekiel Elliott only put up 16 yards on six carries, but most of his attempts came in short yardage scenarios. Interestingly, Deuce Vaughn saw a lot of snaps in this one, though he ultimately only carried the ball four times for 11 yards. It seemed as if the Cowboys wanted a three-headed running attack in this game, but they ultimately had to abandon it because of the score. It’ll be interesting to monitor this group and how the rotation evolves going forward. Grade: B- Pass catchers With Jake Ferguson out, Luke Schoonmaker was pushed into TE1 status for this game. All things considered, he did well; Schoonmaker caught six passes for 43 yards, though it was hard to wonder how much better things would’ve gone with Ferguson in there. Elsewhere, CeeDee Lamb had a good game and Jalen Tolbert came up with several big catches on the day. The thing that ultimately kept this group from earning a higher grade was a general inability to get open. The Saints started double-teaming Lamb early, but there were plenty of contested catches everywhere else. Also, Jalen Brooks causing an interception and later dropped a pass that didn’t help the position group’s grade either. Grade: C+ Offensive line The offensive line had a tough time against this physical Saints defensive line. Tyler Guyton got called for a hold that stalled out a drive and later for a false start, while Cooper Beebe was called for an ineligible man downfield. They also struggled in pass protection, with Prescott being sacked three times. Still, there were plenty of reps where Prescott had clean pockets, and the run blocking was a tad better than last week’s effort despite a smaller sample size. There is still room to grow for this group, but they performed okay against a great defense. Grade: C+ Pass rush No defense had a better pass rush last week than the Cowboys, but it seems they left all their pass rush juice in Cleveland. Derek Carr was rarely under pressure in this game, and it wasn’t just because the quarterback was getting the ball out quick. The lone sack that Dallas recorded was a play where Carr was chased out of bounds; Chauncey Golston was credited with the sack, but he never actually touched Carr. Micah Parsons was hardly seen or heard from in this game, too. The Saints put on a masterclass in scheming around Parsons, and the star pass rusher struggled to get anything going. Part of that is due to the defense rarely seeing a third down, let alone a third and long, but it’s still concerning how absent this entire pass rush was. Grade: F Run defense After a strong performance against a run-heavy offense a week ago, Dallas went right back to their old ways of folding against the run. Alvin Kamara averaged 5.8 yards per carry, and Jamaal Williams averaged 4.9 yards per carry. In fact, the only Saints player in the entire game to not average at least 4.3 yards a carry was Carr, whose only rush attempt was a QB sneak that went one yard for a touchdown. That kind of performance against the run is simply not going to get it done, especially with Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and the Ravens coming to town next week. Grade: F Pass coverage Carr didn’t have to do much in this game, only attempting 16 passes in the entire game. It also didn’t help that he seemingly had all day to throw. Still, when Carr did throw the ball, he encountered very little resistance from this defense. Chris Olave had an easy catch in the wide open middle of the field because of the play design, and several short passes turned into huge gains because of the misdirection before the snap. Carr had one bad pass that was made worse by Olave tipping it into Donovan Wilson’s hands for an interception, but it was an otherwise easy day for Carr. That can’t happen again for this secondary. Grade: D+ Special teams No real notes here, as Brandon Aubrey remains a legitimate weapon. He was perfect on the day, hitting all four field goals with ease and also drilling his lone extra point attempt. Bryan Anger’s lone punt of the day was downed inside the 20 as well. KaVontae Turpin even had a nice 35-yard kick return, though he was unable to attempt a return on the lone punt of the day from

Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images Our stock report is full of tons of down arrows following Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys loss. The Dallas Cowboys had no business playing against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. To call it a game would be generous. New Orleans had their way in just about every single capacity against the Cowboys and partied all throughout. Their first six possessions all resulted in touchdowns, and through the first two weeks of the season they look like one of the better offenses in the league. Questions are now circling the Cowboys like buzzards in the desert as many are wondering if this team is truly a playoff contender or just in for a long year. Welcome to our stock report following Sunday’s loss, which as you can imagine is not going to be a ton of fun. Stock Down: Mike McCarthy Mike McCarthy was not the worst at his job on Sunday, but as the head coach he has to lead the way here. The Cowboys were woefully un-prepared which is a reflection on the program he operated leading up to the home opener. We have known the Cowboys to be stout at home, but the last two games we have seen them play there have been epic beatdowns. Consider that on Sunday the Cowboys allowed 432 total yards and 44 points, a game like that literally did not happen in the entire Dan Quinn era. Does that mean that Quinn was the real master of everything? Hardly. But those are the kinds of questions that losing that kind of way will yield. What’s more is that McCarthy inexcusably left his starters in this game in the fourth quarter with things well already out of contention. It was during this time that Zack Martin exited with injury (thankfully he returned), CeeDee Lamb took a hit to the head in the endzone and Dak Prescott was sacked again. What was the purpose? The plan? The goal? It is the middle of September, we all know that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Playing for pride or something is a fool’s errand. What’s more is that even if you were playing for some morale boost, Dallas turned the ball over on downs on both of their possessions with the starters to start the fourth quarter. Stock Down: Mike Zimmer As it relates to the new defensive play-caller, it was hardly a great return to the home building for Mike Zimmer’s career with the Dallas Cowboys. Is it fair to blame Mike Zimmer entirely? That would be an overreaction. But Klint Kubiak had the New Orleans Saints ready to go and was scheming players open constantly. Derek Carr threw for 243 yards on only 11 completions because of how many explosive plays they were able to generate. This matchup was lost in the game-planning whether or not Zimmer knew it. The Cowboys continue to struggle with any semblance of Kyle Shanahan’s offensive system, and in their first test to be ready for it with a new defensive coordinator they massively failed. Stock Down: Micah Parsons To be clear, Micah Parsons led the team in pressures (he had three and was the only player with multiple), but he has set such a high standard for himself that when something like this happens we turn to him and ask for more. Being the best means you have a different bar. The Cowboys had a pressure rate of 44.6% in Week 1, that dropped all the way to 35.3% against New Orleans. Going against an offensive scheme that is your kryptonite is one thing, but worsening it by not getting home or anywhere near home is only going to worsen it. We need to see more. Stock Down: Eric Kendricks Alvin Kamara had himself quite the day for the Saints and Eric Kendricks spent a lot of it running after him. Kendricks was coming off of an amazing debut for the Cowboys where he arguably should have won NFC Defensive Player of the Week, but on Sunday he looked overmatched in every sense of the word. There is still time to turn things around, but talented skill players out in space are going to have a constant advantage against this group. Stock Down: Donovan Wilson As noted previously, the Saints had explosive plays all day long. Donovan Wilson had a hand in that. Derek Carr found Rashid Shaheed for a 70-yard touchdown at one point in this game on a pass that traveled over 50 yards in the air. Donovan Wilson was unable to break it up. Derek Carr’s 70-yard touchdown to Rashid Shaheed traveled 54.5 yards in the air against the Dallas Cowboys defense. (via @NextGenStats) pic.twitter.com/Z80WzMTBAx — RJ Ochoa (@rjochoa) September 15, 2024 As the last line of defense Wilson has got to be someone who the Cowboys can depend on more. These types of plays obviously cannot happen. Stock Down: Jalen Brooks It appeared as if Brandin Cooks was going to score on an end around early in the game. He may have if Jalen Brooks had properly executed his block. What’s more is that Dak Prescott threw an interception in the first half on a pass intended for Brooks where he slipped on the route. You cannot make these mistakes if you are going to be someone who the offense depends on to a significant degree. Stock Down: Terence Steele The Saints had an impressive day in just about every sense and they seemed to go to the well over and over again on Terence Steele’s side. He has to be someone who they can rely on more in pass protection, especially given his elder statesman status. Stock Down: Dallas Cowboys Front Office This was the game that many expected where the decisions that the front office made over the course of the offseason reared their ugly head. Relying on Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks to a significant degree is asking for an awful lot on

First Half Malaise You would think after such a great Week 1 win, the Cowboys would come out firing in the first half of their home opener. That could not have been more incorrect. The first half was a nightmare for Dallas, and it started with a 7-play, 80 yard touchdown drive that would hand Kamara the first of his four touchdowns on the day. After a long drive that resulted in a field goal, the Saints responded with a one-play, 70 yard touchdown drive. Dallas never recovered from that point on. In total, the Saints had five offensive drives, and they came away with five touchdowns for 35 points. The Cowboys defense forced just three 3rd downs in 26 first half offensive plays. There were two bright spots in the first half for Dallas, and those were CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aubrey. The superstar wide receiver came down with an impressive 65-yard touchdown catch. On special teams, Aubrey picked up the offenses slack, going 3/3 in the half on field goals, including a 52-yarder. Eatman: Driven by Carr and powered by Kamara, Saints ran every stop sign – Nick Eatman, DallasCowboys.com New Orleans was rolling in every facet of the game. With 9:43 to play in the game, the Saints brought out their punter – for the first time all day. And for that matter, they hadn’t even brought out their field-goal kicker either, except to tack on extra points to all these touchdowns. If that doesn’t symbolize a bad day for the defense, nothing does. The Cowboys simply couldn’t stop the Saints – in anything they tried to do. Give New Orleans a ton of credit. Whatever Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara wanted to do, they did it with success. Attack the middle of the field with crossing routes? Yes, did that to open the game. Deep ball down the seam? Yes, touchdown on the second drive. What about attack the edge with Kamara? Yes, all day long – over and over and over and over. I know Micah Parsons has a podcast called The Edge. The Saints basically lived there for four quarters, and the Cowboys couldn’t do much about it. Man, to think the Saints didn’t even get a full week of practice due to Hurricane Francine, but you wouldn’t have ever noticed. New Orleans looked so much better prepared on both sides of the ball – but especially on offense. I was asked a few times during the week if the Cowboys’ Week 1 win over the Browns was a product of a great defense or a terrible quarterback performance by Deshaun Watson. I took the easy way out and said, “Both.” But I think it’s very clear what the answer is now. We knew it would be a different story with Carr in the pocket, especially if he had time to throw. And too many times in the game, Carr got to stand back there and pick the Cowboys apart. Micah Parsons passionately defends Mike Zimmer after Cowboys’ Week 2 massacre – Jerry Trotta, The Landry Hat The lion responds to the defensive ineptitude. It is hard (basically impossible) to come to Zimmer’s defense after a performance like that, but Parsons led that charge on social media with a passionate response to a tweet from our friends at Blogging The Boys. Micah Parsons passionately defends Mike Zimmer after Cowboys’ Week 2 loss Those are very strong words from Parsons. It is impossible to say on first watch if it was Zimmer’s scheme or the players’ performance that caused the meltdown. Perhaps it was a combination of both, but Zimmer cannot be blamed for Dallas’ nose tackles playing like their feet are stuck in mud. The Cowboys ran into a similar problem last year. While the linebacker room is much-improved relative to 2023, it’s impossible for Eric Kendricks, Damone Clark, DeMarvion Overshown and Maris Liufau to fill gaps and get downhill when the nose tackles are hanging them out to dry. It brings into question why Dallas only signed one external free agent before August. Adding vets Jordan Phillips and Linval Joseph bolstered the depth of the defensive line, but it’s possible that Cowboys fans were a little too bullish projecting their respective impacts. Dak Prescott looks ahead after disappointing loss at home – Ali Jawad, Sports Illustrated Dak is looking for redemption. Despite a disappointing home opener loss quarterback Dak Prescott expressed confidence in his team’s ability to bounce back. “We’re gonna learn from it,” Prescott stated after the game. “That was a good team. Gotta give them credit. This is the NFL. The Cowboys’ offense struggled to find its footing against a stout Saints defense, scoring less than 20 points at home for the first time in two years, and Prescott acknowledged the challenge they faced. However, the veteran QB emphasized the importance of focusing on the process and responding to adversity. “It’s about trusting the process and responding,” Prescott said. “I know we have the guys to do that.” Prescott’s optimism reflects the resilience within the Cowboys’ locker room. While the loss stings, the team will be eager to get back to work and correct the mistakes that led to their Week 1 defeat. “Honestly excited to get back to work and turn this page,” Prescott concluded. The Cowboys will look to rebound next week when they welcome the Baltimore Ravens who fell to 0-2 after a shocking loss of their own against the Las Vegas Raiders. 4 Dallas Cowboys to blame for total embarrassment at hands of Saints – Cody Williams, FanSided There is plenty of blame to go around in this one. 3.
