3. Force Dak Prescott to Make Tough Decisions and Good Things Will Happen

Dak Prescott is facing a lot of questions after getting his career off to a great start. Dak had one great season and now is failing to live up to expectations. He is essentially a glorified game manager who has the ability to run.

Atlanta isn’t going to succeed playing Dak like a normal quarterback. They must focus on stopping the run and force Dak to make tough decisions with the football.

Dak will put the ball on the turf or throw a ball up for grabs. When he does Atlanta must capitalize and continue to make the young quarterback pay.

Prescott is a game manager who is incapable of beating Atlanta without leaning on his defense and his running game. Atlanta must keep that in mind playing the line of scrimmage and finding a way to put all of the pressure squarely on Dak Prescott. Atlanta and Dallas will kick-off on Sunday at 1:00PM EST on FOX.
