Is Dak Prescott the Real Deal?

A lot of people have been noticing the stellar play of Dak Prescott, but it's easy to say that he has been playing well. In my opinion, I'm going to have to see a little more from Prescott before I can say he is the real deal. Let flash back: In week one against the Giants, Prescott threw 25 for 45, 227 passing yards, and no touchdown passes. It looked like there were a couple good passes that he made, but you can't win games when you're relying on your running back to score. The quarterback has to contribute too.

In week two, the Cowboys played the Redskins. Their defense was still developing, and Prescott made a bunch of great plays on them.

In week three, they played the Bears, another bad defense. I wasn't surprised that Prescott threw for 247, a passing touchdown, and a rushing touchdown.

 It seems like Prescott will be playing a lot of bad defenses if you look at the Cow-

boys schedule. Part of the reason for that is because of how bad they did last year. But do I think Prescott is better than Tony Romo? Yes, I do. So far, Prescott has made better decisions, and he has good mobility, something that Romo doesn't have.

This week, they play the Packers, and I think they will test how good of a quarterback Dak Prescott is. It's not just the defense, it's also how good the offense on the other team is. Aaron Rodgers will definitely have a big game. That will put Prescott into moments when he has to make key plays and decisions.

Prediction: Packers 34, Cowboys 17

Redskins vs Eagles Preview

After a slow start, the Redskins have really stepped it up. They have won three games in a row and are looking for more. Quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't been perfect but the Redskins defense has been showing that they can hold off a high powered offense.

The Eagles are coming off a heartbreaking loss after a 3-0 start. The Lions beat them by one with a score of 24-23. Carson Wentz has really been impressive. He has only thrown one interception, and he's also thrown 7 touchdown passes. He plays very much like a veteran quarterback when he is only in his rookie year.

One thing to worry about for the Redskins:

One thing the Redskins will have to worry about is the Eagles running game. They have a lot of depth at the running back position. They have Ryan Mathews as their powerful back; Darren Sproles as a pass catching and third down back; and Kenjon Barner has become a good running back for the red zone. The Redskins defense has had a tough time dealing with the run this year so that will be an area where the Eagles can attack the Skins.




One thing to worry about for the Eagles: One area where the Eagles will struggle is defending the pass. Kirk Cousins has so many weapons to throw to, and I don't think the Eagles will be able to keep up with all of them. They have the speed of Desean Jackson, who lately hasn't been getting the ball as much as he would like. They also have Jamison Crowder who is similar to Jackson in terms of speed. They have the veteran in Pierre Garcon. And an unguardable tight end in Jordan Reed. No safety or middle linebacker can match up with Reed.

Key to Win for Eagles: Defend the pass well and make Kirk Cousins turn the ball over.

Key to Win for Redskins: The offensive line has to stay away from holding calls after big offensive plays.


Game Prediction: Redskins 31, Eagles 23

I think Kirk Cousins will throw for over 300 yards and have no interceptions. Carson Wentz will throw for about 250 yards and also have no interceptions.
