Why would a player text the WR coach to push for drafting a QB?

Did he harass the Valley Ranch secretaries too?

I bet Bill is rolling his eyes every day. Romo needs to give Dak a copy of those QB Commandments

I wouldn't be too surprised if he already has. Tony has had the blessings and associations that any successful QB would be proud of.

If Parcells was the coach he'd be sarcastically anointing Prescott all week.

LOL. You never know -- a little applied leverage can go a long way sometimes . . .

Yeah but beware of the extensive study guys. Quincy Carter was supposedly the last out of the film room many times and it turns out that's just because it took him longer to absorb any information.

You don't look at the last guy who completes a test and go "genius".

Dak is known for his intelligence and football IQ. Quincey was...not.

Can't look at stuff in a vacuum.

Well, everyone else has -- he might as well join in on the party himself.

He was more than pretty good at keeping inflated egos from exploding.

Lots of great information on the Fisher segment on the Ben and Skin show today.

--Several players returning today, including Maliek Collins, Benson Mayowa, and Damien Wilson. Everyone is really curious to see if Mayowa does what they think he can do. He says he was hand picked by Marinelli and Will Clay.

--Ezekiel Elliot should practice tomorrow and could play Friday. He went through the walk-thru today.

--Dez was texting his WR coach during the draft pushing for Dak Prescott. lol. The Cowboys had a lot of interest all along and sent Wilson to visit him twice.

--Dez says besides being a "a ball player", Dak has the great quality of being a good listener who's an active learner who knows how lucky he is to be learning behind "a future Hall of Famer like 9". Dez' words so don't shoot me.

--Romo is really loving teaching the kid and was telling him what to expect before every drive. Everyone is thrilled (as they should be) with how Dak handled the big crowd and moment--even though it was just pre-season. Everyone (including Dak) knows that he had the easiest reads he may ever see...but he still executed the throws. Nice!

--Romo says that just him having the confidence of himself and from his teammates goes a long way. he said when he would mess up, in part due to frustration of various coverages, he would go back to Valley Ranch at 10-11pm at night and re-do everything over and over.
Sounds like Dak may have some of that work ethic in him too.

--Garrett seemed to elude to the possibility that they already made up their mind who is #2 and they may not throw Dak to the wolves with the scrubs like what they did to Showers. Not sure, but it sounded like that's possible.

--Fisher said before the game on Saturday, Dez, Frederick, and Romo were all in the tunnel huddled up with huge smiles. Romo was giving Freddy bear hugs (if that's possible) and they were thrilled for Freddy and his contract.

Hope everything is alright concerning Coach Wilson's health but it sounds to me Romo should be the QB Coach

Isn't it great when you have guys who love football and love to practice. Give me the guy that loves football even if he has problems and that guy will do whatever he can to keep clean. Haley loved football. Hardy doesn't. It's that simple. I still wonder about Gregory but he is looking more like Hardy than Haley.

Happy about Zeke. Not totally worried even if we don't see him Friday. Mentally he's already ahead from what the coaches say. Yes, he can definitely use reps, but I don't want another hamstring to haunt us.

My guess is it was from the heat. These guys are so darn big and it's so darn hot they sweat too much to keep properly hydrated. We got lucky he didn't tear it IMO.

Thanks so much for posting the recap!

That's great to hear about the two d-lineman coming back this week. Zeke too.

Dak seems to be checking off a lot of the intangibles checkboxes so far. Really good to see/hear.
