Dak Prescott, the Cowboys fourth round pick, is the presumptive starter for Week One and the team feels fairly good about what he can do. I think a lot of that is people outside of this building have suggested what the timetable is.
The Cowboys are losing Tony Romo but it could be good for the franchise so they can develop the young Dak Prescott to a starting role at the quarterback position next season and the future. If Prescott’s preseason carries into the regular season, maybe he’ll force the Cowboys to consider turning the page on the Tony Romo era.
“I think the biggest thing for all of us is focus on doing our jobs”.
Multiple reports have speculated that Romo, who was injured in Thursday’s preseason game at Seattle, will not return before midseason.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Saturday that “players are encouraged but not required to stand during the playing of the national anthem”. “Injuries are a part of the game”.
Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs participated in his first game since tearing his Achilles tendon in the season opener a year ago. You come to work the next day and you put the next guy in there and if everyone will focus on doing their job, that’s the best way to create a good environment for someone who’s coming in to play.
Prescott has been spectacular for the Cowboys in the first preseason games, completing 39-of-50 passes for 454 yards, 5 touchdowns (and 2 more rushing) with no interceptions.

“The offense we ran at Mississippi State was nothing short of an National Football League offense”, he said. He wants to take full advantage of the opportunities he gets on the practice field and in games. And that’s where our focus is. Also Sunday, Dez Bryant is on the practice field for the first time since suffering a concussion in practice on August 22.
