Dak quote on ESPN Nation Cowboys blog

[Hoov]

Regarding Dez injury.

"I don't really pay attention to who I'm throwing to," said Prescott, who has connected with Bryant 11 times for 150 yards and a touchdown this season. "I just go through my reads, whoever's open gets the ball. So I mean hope gets well, is well really, really soon, but it doesn't really affect this offense."

Dak will still get it done this weekend.

Holy crap, this dude doesn't give a you-know-what!! Dude shows moxie even in the press room! Speaks like a grizzled, 10 year vet.

The whole world brushes off his shoulders. His turbulent life experiences certainly play a part in his incredibly stable demeanor.

So cool, calm. I'm swooning

Love Dak, between Butler and Twill trying to get open without the respect Dez brings, Dak will prolly get about 7 completions between the 2

as long as Beasley doesn't go down. he's Dak's favorite target

Wow. This dude is looking like a once-in-a-lifetime pick. His demeanor is absolutely amazing. But Dez is a Top 10 player at his position. Maybe the offense doesn't use him as such but he is a weapon. He should show him that respect and I didn't see the respect in the quote. He's got to learn to compliment his teammates or he could run the risk of not being viewed as a team guy.

Prescott may be the best thing that's happened to this franchise in 20 years.

 

[Nav22]

Late 4th rounder playing THIS well. Still can't believe it. Some teams go 20 years trying to find a stud QB.

 

[Zordon]

I'll believe it when I see it. Right now, I'm expecting a 10-14pt loss vs SF.

I'll believe it when I see it. Right now, I'm expecting a blow out vs SF.

What, not being able to perform without Dez?

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

I thinn its more or less can TWill and Butler perform without Dez on the other side.

 

[Zordon]

What, not being able to perform without Dez?

Yeah. I like the confidence. But I don't see this offense taking this injury in stride.

Hate to disagree, but Dez is not a top 10 WR. Top 20 maybe, but he's nowhere near 10.....

I love the confidence and so different from Romo..

Jimmie Ward is out, Cole is now showing an adeptness at being able to go deep, and Butler beat his man last week too, only a blatant PI broke up that call.

Neither plays involved our warrior Dez. Ward is SF best DB, so here's to more of those deep balls to players other than Dez (if he's out).

Oh yeah, and we have Zeke, who we have yet to implement into the passing game. I would hope that Linehan has been gameplanning the heck out of screens and flat routes to Zeke, esp with Dez out. This 9er game should still be a win, whether or not Dez plays. If it isn't, this season is a loss regardless of Dez.

It's the schedule after this week that gets dicey and puts more of an impetus on having our elite WR in the game.

I'm not. I think it will be a difficult game but the Niners are bad.

Hahaha. Now I've officially heard it all.

lol.Throw in Witten and the offense will never miss a step!!!

But you always expect that. You made a whine fest thread 30 secs after an easy win on Sunday

 

[Trouty]

I thinn its more or less can TWill and Butler perform without Dez on the other side.

TWill, every season, has his hot and cold games. He's capable of showing up on any given day and taking it to the house (after a nice body catch )

He needs to step up and maybe he doesn't, but I have faith in Butler, with him knowing his guy (Dak) will be counting on him. If he fails, then we can debate that afterwards, but he had a sure TD last week if not for a PI.

Beas and Witten will both be factors, and I'm looking for Swaim to step up and contribute on a few plays. Mainly, this will need to be a statement game from Zeke, and I think he makes it such.

Williams is talented enough to make plays. He's just wildly inconsistent. He needs to hone in and step up his focus several notches. He can't go invisible as he did last season. SF will be missing their best CB so the playing field should be somewhat even.

Beasley will have a big game but either Williams or Butler, or even both, need to be factors on the outside. The coaching staff needs to do their job and help these guys get going with the gameplan.
