The Dallas Cowboys are 1-2 entering Week 4 as they face the New York Giants to try and get back to .500. The Cowboys' offense has struggled severely over the last two weeks.
They put up only 19 points against the New Orleans Saints, and had just six points entering the fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens before nearly completing a 22-point comeback. And while Dak Prescott isn't having a great start to the season, ESPN's Dan Orlovsky says he is set up to fail in Dallas.
"I don't think there is an offense in football that sets their quarterback up to fail more than the Cowboys do with Dak Prescott," Orlovsky said. "The fundamental ways to get your quarterback to play better, or make it easier to play better - you run the football. The Cowboys can't. You use play action - the Cowboys don't. You use motion - the Cowboys don't. You throw screens - the Cowboys don't. They are bottom three or four in a couple [of those categories], bottom 10 in essentially all of them. In many ways they are saying 'Dak Prescott, we want this to be as hard as possible on you.'"
The Cowboys are 29th in rush success rate three games into the season. But it's hard to be balanced when they did almost nothing to address the position. They put everything on Dak's plate, and he's running out of room to put anymore food.
