3. The Reality Is, Terry McLaurin should have a field day against Dallas.

Dallas has given up 34 or more points in their last five games. This defense is so bad they make the 2018 Washington Football Team defense look like the ’85 Bears.

Terry McLaurin still isn’t getting enough touches for the Burgundy and Gold. He needs to be getting 10+ touches every game. He should be used on jet sweeps and quick slants at least 2-3 times per game in addition to the other touches he’s getting, and I’d like to see the team load up the box and get him play-action shots 2-3 times per game as well.

There’s no reason McLaurin shouldn’t go for 10+ catches and 100+ yards against Dallas’ Swiss cheese defense.

My Prediction: McLaurin gets 11 catches for 125 yards and a TD along with two carries for 18 yards.
