Yahoo Sports NFL 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. Gannon had defenders lining up in one spot and finished in another. They were mugging the front and showing cover-0 or single high man coverage all game long, forcing him to hesitate, resulting in three interceptions.
STACKED’s take
Packers' disguised coverage scheme forced Prescott into three INTs with pre-snap deceptions.
Against Green Bay's disguised coverage scheme on Sunday night, Prescott was forced into a blender by defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon's pre-snap deceptions; defenders lined up in one spot and finished in another, showing cover-0 or single-high man coverage while mugging the front, forcing Prescott to hesitate and resulting in three interceptions. The constant pre-snap shell shifts made it harder for Prescott to get into the right call at the line, trust what he saw, and process post-snap reads, as the pre-snap read often had nothing to do with what the defense actually played. A key early second-quarter interception came when Evan Williams (#33) started on the line showing pressure, then rotated into red zone quarters at the snap to read the #3 receiver inside and up; Prescott never accounted for Williams and stared down the middle before working right, never picking up Williams, who undercut the throw. The source notes that defenders materializing from nowhere like that can rattle a quarterback for the rest of the game, and the Dallas offense never found a rhythm as a result.
