Dak Prescott completed 25 of his 32 passes for 405 yards and four touchdowns during the Dallas Cowboys' Week 1 win over the New York Giants last Sunday, and while everyone has been raving about his performance, Josh Norman is not one of them.
The Washington Redskins cornerback, who will face Prescott and the Cowboys this weekend, says that he was not impressed by Prescott's outing in Dallas' season opener:
“You stand back there in the pocket all day and go through your first, second and third reads and come back to your first one, okay, cool. Anybody can do that,” Norman told The Associated Press. “At the end of the day, he’s been playing well. As you can see, he’s evolved. He’s growing in the system. He’s just taking his keys and picking his targets and throwing the ball on time.”
To Norman's credit, he did praise Prescott a bit, but it doesn't seem like he thinks Prescott can do all of that in the face of pressure.
The Giants did a horrendous job of applying pressure on the Cowboys' signal-caller in Week 1, as New York failed to register a single sack as Prescott picked apart the defense.
But even so, Prescott logged a perfect passer rating and became just the third quarterback in NFL history to do so while throwing over 30 passes.
We'll get to see how right Norman is in his convictions on Sunday when his Redskins head to AT&T Stadium to battle the Cowboys. While Dallas is 1-0, Washington is in search of its first win after blowing a 17-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend.
