Dak Prescott’s Absence: Commanders Adjust Game Plan for Cowboys Matchup
The Washington Commanders are gearing up to face the Dallas Cowboys, but the absence of quarterback Dak Prescott significantly alters their strategy.
_Prescott’s Impact_
– 2-time Pro Bowl quarterback
– Averages 275 passing yards, 2 TDs per game
– Rushing threat: 20+ yards per game
_Cowboys’ Backup Plan_
– Cooper Rush or Will Grier to start
– Reduced passing yards, increased running plays
– Commanders prepare for altered Cowboys offense
_Commanders’ Game Plan Adjustments_
1. Defensive scheme: More emphasis on stopping Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard
2. Blitz packages: Increased pressure on backup QB
3. Coverage: Focus on Cowboys’ receiving corps, particularly CeeDee Lamb
_Washington’s Opportunity_
– Capitalize on Cowboys’ QB uncertainty
– Improve 2-2 record, gain NFC East momentum
– Key matchup: Commanders’ pass rush vs. Cowboys’ O-line
_Statistical Advantage_
– Commanders’ defense: 10th in passing yards allowed (220.5)
– Cowboys’ offense: 14th in total yards without Prescott (350.5)
_Commanders’ Coach Ron Rivera_
“We prepare for the Cowboys’ system, not just the quarterback.”
_Cowboys’ Interim QB_
Cooper Rush: “We’ll adjust, but our goal remains the same: win.”
_Prediction_
Commanders 24, Cowboys 20
Will the Commanders take advantage of Prescott’s absence?
