4. The Reality Is, it’s time to manufacture touches for Terry McLaurin.

Washington has largely allowed defensive scheme to take Terry McLaurin out of the last few games. They’ve taken advantage of coverages shaded toward McLaurin to get easier yardage elsewhere. But that cannot be the solution this week. It’s time to feed Terry McLaurin and let him carry you to a victory. If you’re going to end up being swept by Dallas this season, don’t let it happen with Terry being used mostly as a decoy. Get the ball in his hands and let him make some plays.
