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."

What about personal accountability to your own performance? How about that?

Dak is TEFLON baby.....it's never ever his fault and by golly why should it be he's only the QB!!!!:omg:
We must be the only fan-base that lives in their own Twilight Zone and refuse to acknowledge and face the fact that we have a very average to below-average starting QB!

P.S. I don't know maybe we like to be ridiculed by quality teams on National TV?

Vastly different than the whole "HURR THEY HAVEN'T SEEN AN OFFENSE LIKE OURS BEFORE" comment he made a couple weeks ago.

Way to get humbled this late into the season after you've gotten rocked by good teams.

I don't hang on everything players and coaches say anyway:eek: but where I would like to see a little more "Yakety Yak from Dak" is on the sidelines when things aren't going well. He's good at handing out the "good jobs and attaboys"

but I would like to see him voices displeasure when things aren't going so well and get on players when the team is sleepwalking. Leaders have to be tough on the troop sometimes, and a few Choice words can sometimes turn the tide. Yakety Yak;)

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.
Now your talking Dak is gonna bring the pain

I think we'll make the playoffs unfortunately. We'll get beat in the wildcard game easily. Seattle wont lose a rematch.
