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.

 

[The Ominous]

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

 

[Coogiguy03]

Does it matter? 0-1

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.

 

[Whirlwin]

But if we lose we’re one game behind them and they’ll own a tiebreaker. That’s not a good start to the season for us and it puts a lot of pressure on us needing to win in week 2. A win on opening day will give us confidence and allow us to build some momentum early.

Yeah, but that can happen anytime during the season. My point still stands.

 

[Adreme]

Ya but those people to be not human. Fun story about a year ago I visited a friend and his gym also had an area where a former wrestling guy would teach people. I managed to be allowed to take a few moves and I learned a couple things: that ring is not padded at all and I cannot believe human beings can actually take those moves for 20 minutes and then function in any way.

I am really hoping Schottenheimer, insists Dak plays in the preseason.

I don't think that matters a hill of beans. It will just potentially get Dak out for the season sooner. That, I don't mind. Milton to Pickens is a better deep threat anyway.

 

[CowboyoWales]

Maybe a couple of snaps, handing off to Blue, but apart from that, stay in the yard working with Pickens.

The mind numbingly ridiculous posts like this to anti dak rhetoric is insane yeah if we're looking to get the number one overall pick next year sure start Milton and if you want pickings that have a meltdown you can see balls thrown all over like inaccurate he already dealt with that coming from Pittsburgh he wants to be here because of Prescott believe it or not they don't share the same opinion of you and they be right i'd be right and you'd be very wrong..


Right now, Milton is a big version of Trey Lance and if you think somehow this team is going anywhere from game one on what they raw inaccurate talent just because he could run the football and against backups he looked decent yeah nice try though.....

The best thing for Milton would be be sitting on the bench behind Prescott the next two years but again if your goal is to only win three games sure but wanting to sit Prescott who's never had a losing season when he's healthy one of the best quarterbacks in the league it's never ending how clueless some of you really are..
