Acme Packing Company on Dak Prescott
From the article
he had quarterback Dak Prescott in a blender, forcing him to read and react to a defense that hardly ever played its pre-snap shell... forcing him to hesitate, resulting in three interceptions... Prescott never accounted for him and likely never saw. His only thought was likely that he'd need to get rid of the ball quickly and never really checked the post-snap rotation until it was too late.
STACKED’s take
Prescott threw three INTs against Packers' disguise scheme; never saw rotations.
Prescott threw three interceptions against Green Bay's defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon's disguise scheme on Sunday night. Gannon had defenders lining up in one spot and finishing in another, mugging the front and showing cover-0 or single-high man coverage all game long, forcing Prescott to hesitate. Coverage players appeared out of nowhere and free rushers got home; at times it felt like Green Bay had 12 or 13 men on the field. The pre-snap read had nothing to do with what the defense actually played, making it harder for Prescott to get into the right call at the line, trust what he saw, and process and react. The result was a Dallas offense that never found a rhythm. A key early second-quarter interception—when Dallas was in the red zone trailing only 7-0—came when Prescott stared down the middle before working right to his inside receiver, never picking up Evan Williams (#33), who undercut the throw. Defenders materializing from nowhere rattled Prescott for the rest of the game.
