Out of all the players that I think needs to step up their game this week against the Green Bay Packers, Doug Free might just be the most important one.
Odds are Doug Free will be seeing a lot of Julius Peppers this week and that means he will definitely have his hands full trying to protect Dak Prescott.
Peppers is a type of player that Free struggles with in pass protection. Free is at his best when he can use his athleticism in pass protection, but he really struggles when players like Peppers use their strength to drive him back.
The coaching staff may want to give Free a little help with a tight end or use a running back to chip the pass rusher, but they may let #68 handle things on his own at first and see how that goes.
Regardless of what the coaching staff decides to do, Doug Free really needs to be on the top of his game from here on out.
Which Dallas Cowboys player do you think needs to step up their game?
