STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Ferguson's quick-game role helps Dallas counter Washington's aggressive blitz.

Ferguson should benefit from quick throws designed to slow down Washington's blitz; the Commanders' redesigned defense under Daronte Jones mixed fronts, pressures and coverages, recording three sacks in Week 1. Quick throws to Ferguson can be part of Dallas' strategy to make Washington defend the whole field and punish linebackers for attacking too aggressively.
