Dak Prescott faces his biggest test in the Seahawks

Dak Prescott has set the preseason on fire, but can he keep the ball rolling against the Seattle Seahawks?

Classic (preseason) match of ‘unstoppable force meets immovable object’, right? Well, not exactly, because it is the preseason, but Thursday’s game against the Cowboys should make for entertaining television.

The Seahawks usually play an exciting brand of football, leading the NFL last year in explosive plays on offense and having the league’s beast scoring defense; but the matchup on Thursday feature’s the preseason’s biggest name, and he’s a Cowboy:

Dak Prescott.

The rookie quarterback has impressed with stellar play through two weeks, but he will have a tough test against the vaunted Seahawks defense. The starters are playing into the second half on Thursday night, thus giving their biggest sample size to date.

Any time a rookie quarterback is up against an all-time great defense, the odds are also stacked against him. While fans consider him a world-beater after two exhibition games, they might be setting themselves up for disappointment going into Week 3 of the preseason.

Now buckle up because I’m about to have a ‘that guy’ moment. Prescott has never seen the likes of Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor in his football career. That trio of guys *usually* bodes trouble for rookie quarterbacks.

The third preseason game is the dress rehearsal for Week 1 of the regular season, so we’ll likely see Dallas’ starting offensive line for a large chunk of the game. Their big boys up front were the best in the league last year, meaning there is a good chance of the Seahawks D-Line being neutralized for the most part, alleviating some of the worry for Prescott.

Oh, and there’s also the crowd factor for the former Mississippi State QB. The 12’s will surely let Prescott and the rest of the Cowboys know where they are.
