Week 14 Reality Checks: Dallas at Washington
By Tim Payne
2. The Reality Is, this Cowboys defense is ripe for misdirection.
Micah Parsons is the Defensive Rookie of the Year on the merits of his hustle and motor. Trevon Diggs leads the league in interceptions based on his skill as a ballhawk. Demarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory are extremely aggressive defensive ends. Given the nature and personality and skillsets present on this Dallas defense, Scott Turner should utilize a ton of misdirection in his play calling on Sunday.
Look for him to get into his bag of tricks for a throwback, a flea-flicker, a double reverse, or something along those lines sometime on Sunday. If he’s smart, he’ll also use a good amount of zone read action to put Dallas’ aggressive and speedy defensive ends into conflict.
