this could be an opportunity for Brian Schottenheimer to put the experience of the Cowboys offense to the test and move personnel around. Doing so to get Ferguson matched up against the likes of Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, or rookie Arvell Reese, all three of whom are much better pass rushers than coverage players, would create an even bigger advantage for Dak Prescott and the road team's aerial attack.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Ferguson gains edge if matched vs Giants pass rushers instead of Edmunds.

Ferguson benefits from a favorable matchup against Giants linebackers, particularly if Cowboys OC Brian Schottenheimer moves personnel to get Ferguson matched up against pass rushers like Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, or rookie Arvell Reese rather than coverage linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. These pass rushers are much better at edge-setting than coverage, which would create a significant advantage for Ferguson and Dak Prescott's aerial attack.
