Rasul Douglas, CB

This week, the Eagles will be without their cornerback, Jalen Mills on the outside. While some may say that the Eagles are better off without him, others may think that Dallas has the advantage. This could go either way, really. While Rasul Douglas is prone to letting up big plays just as much as Mills is, there’s also a chance that Douglas comes up with a big-time interception.

Dallas is going to try and take advantage of the Eagles ‘weak spot’ this week, but they may be in for a rude awakening. Douglas is a physical cornerback that can get in the head of his opponents with his confident style, and cocky trash talking.

With Mills in the game, we’re never expecting any turnovers to occur as long as quarterbacks are targeting receivers in his direction. But with Douglas out there, Prescott won’t know what’s coming. If there’s one thing Douglas knows best, it’s jumping a pass and coming up with a pick. Seeing as though Prescott threw three against the Eagles last year, we should see a few more this Sunday night.
