Dak: "Hell with the talking"

[OmerV]

This dude is starting to concern me with his choice of words and attitude. He’s very leader-like but every time I instill a little bit of faith in him, he does something like this .

What did he say that wasn't leaderlike?

The only problem I had with it was that he talked just a bit too long about talk not meaning anything.

But, the media was asking questions, and part of his role is to answer them. I think some fans have the impression these things are initiated by the players, and it is just the players talking with no provocation - as if they called a press conference to vent.

 

[Rockport]

He's required to speak to the media. He's a captain. He's the QB1. He kinda has to talk to the media. Unless y'all wanna pay his fines for NOT talking to the media.

But what he's saying is ain't no more talking to be done to the players. They gotta step up. Period. It is what it is.

That doesn’t fit the agendas of the losers who posted earlier. They live for negativity and whining.

The irony.....

FRISCO -- The Cowboys have been open about their frustrations. The players have spoken about their need to perform better. Immediately.

Dak Prescott believes the time for talking is done.

“Talk is cheap, right," the quarterback said Monday afternoon. “We’ve talked a lot. We’ve talked a bunch and got ourselves right to where we are.

“In a moment like this I say, ‘hell with the talking. I’m going to do more. I’m going to work harder.’

“If you’re a young guy looking for somebody to figure it out, how to do it, yeah, look at me and some of these other guys because that’s exactly what we’re doing," he continued. “Putting our head down, focusing and doubling down on ourselves."


Prescott delivered a message similar to this during the team’s walk through. He doesn’t mind being vocal, but believes it’s more important to lead by example when a team is struggling.

What about a fiery speech, like the kind veteran defensive lineman Michael Bennett delivered in the wake of the team’s loss to Buffalo on Thanksgiving?

“They have their times," Prescott said. “But if you need to be fired up at 6-6, this isn’t the locker room for you."

The Cowboys lost two games in five days last week and watched their odds of winning the NFC East improve. Prescott understands the team is fortunate to be in this position heading into the final month of the regular season and understands the skepticism outside of The Star.

“All this does being in this position is add to the doubters," Prescott said. “That should allow the chip on the shoulder to grow.

“Get the people off the bandwagon and know it’s about us. The people in this locker room that have to go out there and execute. It just allows us, this locker room, to get tighter."

"Talk is cheap" (proceeds to talk about it).

 

[CATCH17]

Blah bluh blah bluh blah.

We'll see the same Cowboys again this week.

Same thing over and over. Rinse and repeat.. Do what we do.. If it works yay if not then say a bunch of cliches that everyone uses when they lose.

This team and how they play is just so robotic.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

What did he say that wasn't leaderlike?

The only problem I had with it was that he talked just a bit too long about talk not meaning anything. He should have made a quick, firm point, and dropped it.

Talk like this usually doesn’t end well when you’re already on a two game lose streak. Or when you lose against every formidable team. On top of that, Dak uses words “Like me” and “Get off the bandwagon”. Like me makes me think in a selfish way. Get off the bandwagon doesn’t even make sense because no one is in the Dallas bandwagon. We all abandoned that sinking ship last week.

What should his response to reporters be? Leave me the hell alone? This wasn't an essay or a press conference. He is answering questions, as all QBs do.

I do not care what he says or any of them for that matter. I'm just a miserable Cowboy fan letting my frustration out on this forum.

So, he would be more leaderlike if he was tolerant of teammates who may not be fully committed? lol

As for the "bandwagon", he was obviously saying it doesn't matter who is or isn't on the bandwagon, what matters is the people in the locker room.

Talk is cheap, yet he is running his mouth.

If he comes out and shrugs, the same people complaining about his talking would complain about his silence.

Exactly right. Them bandwagoners (doubters) need to get off and stay off!

 

[America's Cowboy]

Talk is cheap, yet he is running his mouth.

Just like you.

 

[Mr_437]

"I'm bout day action boss" is all the talking this team needs to do... "I'm just here so I won't get fined" would be another approved message.

Just go play and have fun. This team is boring **. When/If they start having fun they'll win.

 

[JayFord]

Whatever

i want wins chief....do that or get off my tv

 

[jnday]

Just like you.

I have actually been quite about Dak. I figure the writing is on the wall and only a blind man would miss reading it.

 

[johneric8]

I can relate to all the frustration but in my opinion, Dak and our players are severely limited by a team ran by too many Indians without it's Chief. Dak is eluding to rising up as players and fighting through this debacle we're all witnessing here which is the the Dallas Cowboys Clown show. This is a tall task because the whole thing is held together by duct tape! Once the weight of things get too heavy on the field, the tape tears and everything comes crashing down. Dak, Bennett, or whomever doesn't have the mojo to undue all the years of Jerry and his puppet Garrett, but you can't blame him for trying. He is a desparate football player at the moment with roads in all directions that lead to the same place, MEDIOCRITY.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The Cowboys are 3-6 in their last 9 games.

Garrett, Dak, Bennett, whoever is yapping all I hear is

 

[DenCWBY]

I think Dak's burning. He's heard enough about the losing and about all these other "successful" running QB's and he's going to strap on the pads this Thursday.
I see him totaling 50+ rush yards in this game.
Landry used to say, (in context) when Roger was boxed in a corner or called out/challenged personally, he would go into primal instinct and scramble and run head on taking on all comers to pull out a W.
I hope this is the case and we see Dak go to a new primal instinct to take a game over from start to finish.

 

[CWR]

Talk is cheap! So let's talk some more!

Hes asked the question, he has to come out with an answer I suppose, or no comment.

 

[CWR]

Dak hasn't played well the last couple games. Empty stats.

That said, I like his take and believe if everyone had his approach we'd be a better team.
