Blogging The Boys on George Pickens

Pickens used as movable slot piece to stress coverage; Lake made key interception on quick shot.

Cowboys receiver was motioned into the slot to stress the Rams' coverage as a movable piece rather than lining up outside and running routes from the same spot. The day's biggest Rams coverage play came against Pickens when the Cowboys tried to throw a quick shot to him from the slot, but Quentin Lake recognized the play and stabbed the ball out of the air before running with it. This confirms Pickens was being used as a schematic weapon to create favorable matchups and force defensive adjustments.
