Cowboys’ $240M star Dak Prescott admits to crying over horrendous season as team faces constant mockery – Jackson Thompson, Fox News
Dak Prescott couldn’t hold back his emotions after recent loss for the Cowboys.
Dallas Cowboys franchise quarterback Dak Prescott admitted just how bad his team’s failed season has made him feel about himself.
Prescott told The Dallas Morning News this week he couldn’t hold back the emotion or the tears when he sat down and realized just how bad his team really is.
“The other day, after the game, I guess, it all just hit me,” Prescott said of the experience shortly after his team was blown out by the Houston Texans Monday night. “Boom, right. A couple of tears came down.
“This is going to hurt. It’s going to suck at times. You just have to understand this is one of the moments that it does. I don’t want anything right now other than to let it suck. It’s understanding and being able to voice that, ‘Yeah, I’m blessed to be where I’m at.’”
Stephen Jones says Dallas Cowboys don’t regret trading for quarterback Trey Lance – SportsDay Staff, Dallas Morning News
Despite barely seeing the field, Stephen Jones believes getting Trey Lance was a good thing.
According to Stephen Jones, the Dallas Cowboys would trade for Trey Lance again if they had a chance.
The Cowboys executive vice president spoke highly of the team’s current backup quarterback during his latest appearance on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM). Lance is currently expected to sit behind starter Cooper Rush, who has been described as giving Dallas the “best chance to win.”
“[Lance] is a top-tier pick, a guy we had at the top. As you know, Dak [Prescott] was coming up for a contract and we wanted to take a look at a good, young talent and didn’t feel like we could get anything from a quality standpoint like we could get with Trey,” Jones said. “As it turns out, we ended up signing Dak long-term. So obviously that puts a little less need in terms of having to rush to do something with Trey. Matter of fact, it makes it hard because Trey, I’m sure, is wanting to see what’s out there now that we have committed to Dak long-term. But I don’t regret that at all.”
Dallas originally acquired Lance ahead of the 2023 season, sending a 2024 fourth-round pick to San Francisco for the young quarterback’s services. Lance has yet to receive an extended look with the Cowboys, appearing in only one regular-season game since joining the roster.
Lance briefly stepped in for Rush during the team’s 34-6 Week 10 loss to Philadelphia, going 4-for-6 through the air for 21 yards and an interception. He also ran for 17 yards on three carries.
Cowboys injury report: Ferguson ruled out, Martin listed as doubtful, Bland will play vs. Commanders – LP Cruz, Blogging The Boys
Dallas gets an All-Pro back, but two other significant starters will be out against Washington.
After the Cleveland Browns won in a snowy outing during Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys have only four teams ahead them with fewer wins and currently hold the ninth pick in this year’s draft. There’s no reason to believe the Cowboys are intentionally tanking, more like they don’t have the bodies to compete and the results of what they lack is showing in the loss column. Ahead of their game against their former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and his upstart Washington Commanders, Dallas will be without some key players this Sunday. Here’s the final injury report of the week.
NFL Rumors: Daniel Jones Won’t Be Pursued by Cowboys amid Dak Prescott’s injury – Jack Murray, Bleacher Report
The Cowboys don’t have any interest in pursuing the Giants’ failed QB.
The Dallas Cowboys do not appear to be in pursuit of quarterback Daniel Jones.
The Giants released the 27-year-old on Friday after six seasons with the franchise. He is set to clear waivers on Monday and could be an intriguing option for a quarterback-needy team.
With starting quarterback Dak Prescott out for the season with a hamstring injury, the Cowboys could be a team that fits that description. However, NFL insider Josina Anderson reported that the team is “not currently pursuing” Jones.
The Cowboys depth chart currently consists of Cooper Rush and Trey Lance with Prescott unavailable.
Here We Goooo: Run game needs to travel – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com
The Cowboys could establish the ground game against the Commanders’ 30th ranked run defense.
Yes, I know the Cowboys have the second lowest rushing yards per game in the NFL this season. So how could this possibly be a game where they could start to open things up?
Keep in mind that Dallas has played six of the top nine rushing defenses in the NFL this season. On Sunday, they’ll face a Commanders defense that has given up the most rushing yards of any team in the NFL (1,655) , and is allowing the third-most rushing yards per game (149.9). Rico Dowdle was held in check last week by the Texans (who have the 9th lowest rushing yards allowed per game in the league), so this is the week to get things going.
If we’re looking at what kinds of runs could open things up for Dowdle and the Cowboys, look for it to be on outside carries. Washington has give up 898 yards and nine touchdowns on outside runs this season, allowing 5.8 yards per carry too. Dowdle is averaging 4.1 yards per carry on those runs, albeit it just 31 of them for 128 yards.
Dowdle’s also been better running after contact too, averaging 3.1 yards following the first contact from a defender. The Commanders defense is giving up 2.8 yards after contact on average, which should work in Dowdle’s favor.
It’s a steep hill to climb for Dallas’ run game, that has generated a league-worst -143 rushing yards over expected in 2024, but if there’s any game to lean on the run like Mike McCarthy has said he’s wanted to, this is the game to do it.
