I am really hoping Schottenheimer insists Dak plays in the preseason

[KJJ]

We need to play the "backup" we just traded for to see if there is anything there. If he doesn't show and Dak gets inevitably hurt?

The preseason will be a competition for the backup job.

Yes, because he does not play in training camp.

 

[Chasing6]

Dak will not start in the preseason.

Most likely will be a season opening loss for the Xxxxxxx. The Philadelphia Eagles are opening as 6.5- or 7-point favorites against the Dallas Cowboys in the 2025 NFL season opener on Thursday, September 4. The total for the game is currently set at 46.5 to 47 points.

And how much will we score.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I doubt it. With only three preseason games now, the Cowboys are probably going to want to see as much of Joe Milton as they can.

Add that to Dak coming off the hammy, and I doubt he gets any run in the preseason at all.

Does it matter? 0-1

 

[Coogiguy03]

He is not wrong. I think MM was forced to start Zeke until his performance forced Jerry to change his mind. Lance should have finished out the season, it was already lost as is

Right maybe they didn't want him to get hot and win games

Lol lol

 

[Flamma]

Right...because it'll make him immune to injury if we do that. Like previous years.

Excellent point. Why would they play him in a meaningless game to hopefully prepare him for a superior team in week 1? What's important is that he doesn't get injured. Not the week 1 results. Then the immunity kicks in.

Yea , so we csn see him tear a hammy a d continue to pay that crazy salary to watch him miss half the season.
No thanks!!

 

[SquidwardTentacles]

They won’t play him and you can book it, especially with him coming off a serious injury. They’ll error on the side of caution. None of our key starters will play with an early start to the regular season in Philly. Dak hasn’t played in preseason in several years and has gotten off to good starts.

Then he'll just wait a few weeks to get broken during the real season.

Would rather lose him then than in a meaningless preseason game.

 

[Pass2Run]

And yet Mahomes CONTINUES to play preseason games, even in 2 of them last season. Josh Allen too

Just what the hell are we protecting here? Lol

I would normally agree. In the past, I shared this view. But we' be less than a year out from his injury and I'd focus on the final stages of getting healthy and recovery rather than risking injury, again.

Mostly, I want to see how good this Joe Milton guy is. He may have a little something to him.

 

[Risen Star]

So am I. With the 3rd string OL.

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

Insists?? Lol..."Take a shot with Schotty" ain't insisting on anything. Jerry won't allow Dak to be exposed in preseason.

 

[Wildcat711]

Ric Flair was humbled by Jerry Lawler...repeatedly.

I hate to be the one to break it to you..

but that stuff ain't real.
