Says the scared man with a straight face. has to be. That's not negative just an observation.

Seeing Prescott, Tyron Smith, and La'el Collins back out there, even for an OTA walkthrough, makes me happy. Still over three months left before Dak has to worry about getting hit so nice to see him getting his timing and endurance back in the meantime.

Cooper literally never practices lol. He’s still effective, but man. Would it hurt him to get out there like once a week or so?

There has been many an NFL player to undergo a serious injury, just as Dak has had. It's perfectly normal for them not to know what to expect until they've been back in action long enough to trust the durability of their injured part. Dak's been doing all he can to ensure his injured ankle being one that should hold up to whatever stress it might have to withstand. It's normal to have a healthy degree of fear before knowing what to expect. Dak is just a man, certainly not Superman, or anything of the sort. He shows no level of excessive fear.

Fear is a very positive impulse that helps to prevent a situation from overcoming anyone involved in an inherently dangerous situation. He'll eventually be taking hits that will test his ankle's durability. Hopefully, he'll come away from those threats in a relieved and relatively confident state of mind. I think he's more than resilient enough to hold up to such pressure, in the meantime. There are, certainly, no obvious indications to assume otherwise. QBs are exposed to danger on an ongoing basis. Dak has displayed an ability to deal with it. I think that will continue.

Coop will get his due share of reps and be ready. I dont have an issue starting off certain key vets at a very slow pace, its a long season, xtra long now, so no worries at this point at all.
This is when you want to get some good looks from the rooks like Fehoko, Smith, Vasher, Mitchell and Eagles.
