Start watching at the 3:40 mark through the 4:05 mark of the video...



During all 3 Packers passing TDs, the Cowboys defensive backs (DBs) were 3-5+ yards off the line of scrimmage (LOS). Not a single DB was lined up right on the line of scrimmage in front of Watson to at least bump him hard at the LOS in order to slow him up at the snap of the ball, try to throw him off his route or throw his timing off enough to make those pass-completions (which went for TDs) much harder to complete.

What was Dan Quinn thinking? This is not the first or second time he has done this...forcing our DBs to play yards off from a receiver on crucial downs or key moments. No press coverage whatsoever. Instead, our DBs have been easily outran or out-juked at the LOS for wide open catches that have gone for big gains or TDs. Why is Dan Quinn doing this, especially during key downs when we need a stop?

Is Dan Quinn getting exposed? What is his reasoning for playing our DBs so lax, yards off the line of scrimmage and playing no press coverage?
