Veteran QB Sanchez to sign with Cowboys

No, that’s not the magic number for the Texas Rangers, which was 17, by the way, as of Monday night.

Despite coming off a disappointing 4-12 record in 2015, expectations were high for the Cowboys heading into this season.

With Tony Romo out at least six to 10 weeks with a broken back bone, Dallas will rely on Dak Prescott at the helm. “We will be very liberal in evaluating when it is when he can come back”.

So what specific workouts did Tony Romo and Dez Bryant do?

The Cowboys hit the field today with their eyes on the regular season opener, but a ton of questions swirling about what comes after that. He has great running backs, one of the best offensive lines in football, and a talented wide receiving core.

Prescott had a strong start to the preseason after Kellen Moore broke his right ankle in practice at training camp, and the Cowboys ultimately chose to give their fourth-round pick the backup job. I’m sure Jerry is thinking maybe things will work out like they did in Denver when Osweiler filled in for Peyton. “Initially, when he had the injury he was pretty immobilized and over the course of the last week or so I just think he’s gotten better and better and better”. The young QB had that “It” factor that is hard to describe yet sometimes easy to detect.

“At times, I admit you look up and stare at the star”, Prescott said, referring to the Cowboys’ logo plastered throughout the halls of their palatial, new, $800 million practice complex. I felt like it was the flawless situation for both the player and the team.

“It’s probably what I respect most, whether it’s Eli or anyone else who’s put together a long streak like that, because I know you have to battle through a lot”. Of course, missing your starting quarterback more than makes up for the low quantity. The Dallas Cowboys are 1-point underdogs for Sunday’s season opener. “He has taken advantage of his opportunities in the preseason, and it’ll be a challenge for us”.

Aside from Prescott another rookie, Ezekiel Elliot will also be under a lot of pressure if he is really the real deal. “Right now that’s Dak, and you do everything you can to help him”, Sanchez said. They trust him, and they have a chemistry with him.

The Dallas defense scares the be-gee-bees out of me. “Wouldn’t have expected for it to happen this early, but it did unfortunately”, Prescott said.
