PFT: Stephen says Dak will be a Cowboy for many many years to come

[Hawkeye0202]

Short passes, limited scanning of the available field?

Some......but he's making faster decisions. To be honest, it's exactly what they talked about during the offseason. In other words, it's not a coincidence....


OXNARD, Calif. — Dallas Cowboys players keep hearing the question about pass plays.

“What’s the step count?” coaches ask, wanting to confirm how many steps quarterback Dak Prescott will take when it’s time to execute the pass concept they’re discussing.

But the question is not being directed only to Prescott, his fellow quarterbacks or even meetings that include at least one QB.

Cowboys receivers, rather, are now tasked with tracking this information.

“This is the first year we’ve really had to key in on how many steps he’s taking so we know how fast the ball is coming out,” sixth-year receiver Michael Gallup told Yahoo Sports. “They harp on that every day.”

The Cowboys are shifting their offensive system more drastically than they have since Prescott earned his starting role in 2016. To say Prescott’s league-high 15 interceptions last season prompted this move would oversimplify the Cowboys’ direction. But as head coach Mike McCarthy assumes play-calling for the first time since arriving in Dallas in 2020, he’s evolving from the principles that he had allowed now-Chargers offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to maintain as they prioritized system continuity for Prescott’s development.

Dallas has worked to still incorporate some principles and terminology from Prescott and teammates’ productive recent years. But McCarthy and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer believe introducing more West Coast principles will bolster ball security and decisiveness.

They believe this shift will increase how often quarterbacks and receivers are on the same page.

More than five weeks remain before that principle will truly be tested in the Cowboys’ season opener at the New York Giants. But Prescott, Cowboys coaches and Cowboys receivers this past week explained the source of their optimism in a series of interviews with Yahoo Sports.

“I can run my routes more comfortably knowing that he’s done with his drop or that he’s not getting touched or that he’s protected,” two-time Pro Bowl receiver CeeDee Lamb told Yahoo Sports. “I feel like the speed that we have in this room, the guys that can track the ball, the mentality [will help us] get open, create separation. It just can’t be too early. Because then it’s quickening up his steps and it’s a whole different situation.

“Being on the same timing as the quarterback is very important for us.”

Dak haters reaction after hearing such news from Stephen Jones how Dak will be a Cowboy for many many years to come...

IF Dakko gets that extension the fan base (Not only here in the CZ) will be at war with each other.
Believe it or not (for you Dak lovers out there) there is a large percentage of Cowboy fans who do want any more of Fraudo Dakko.
They have seen enough..............
P.S. Look on the bright side you will have the CZ all to yourselfs to tell all the Dak is great fairytales you can muster!!!

First of all a contract decision must be made by March.

They moved on with Romo because of not only injury history but most of all Prescott was an impressive 11-0.

Injury is only thing that would present an opportunity to move on from Prescott. And someone like Lance would have needed to prove he could replace him as Franchise QB.

And the only way to prove before March deadline is an extended or season ending injury this year. Also if Prescott is injured most likely Rush comes in. So those wishing to see Lance this year will need to see injury to both.

That's why I used the term 'hypothetical'.

You want a war? What, your fragile and immature mind can't handle Dak being here any longer? You sound like those Antifa punks. I wish you would try to start a fight. You would get your butt kicked. Go find another team if you can't handle what this team does with Dak.

Punk, Fight, where did you grow up man?
Manners.........something that escapes your make-up I guess.
Then again says a lot about the folks who support such an inept overpaid QB just because....right???
If you haven't realized from these forums alone that the fan base is divided because of inepto Prescott then please send me what you're drinking.

 

[lopey]

Because Stephen is just as big of an idiot as his father.

 

[SackMaster]

How many times did he say this about Romo?

Romo was cut when? I mean, it's not like Romo's INJURIES had anything to do with him being in the booth instead of on the field. Or that Romo himself RETIRED instead of subjecting himself to more injuries playing for the Cowboys or any other team.

Contrary to what our on-site Stephen A troll like resident presents , our fan base isn’t divided on Prescott. Most see him for what he brings.

Most fans who while agree he isn’t Elite, is enough to build around like most teams in the NFL without one of the handful of Elite QB’s.

There‘s only a small but very vocal minority of fans who believe Dak sucks. And hate him so much they are rooting for his injury or 1-16 type season to bring about change .

We really all need to ignore cause their entire intent is to troll the boards and fans inciting response. They offer no other contributions or content to the forum. One trick ponies!!!

Let their threads fall off the front page like a turd in the punch bowl.

It's okay you can come out of the Dak closet and leave that Switzerland stance and express yourself freely.....

 

[Diehardblues]

Took the bait I see. First of all I appreciate your acknowledgement of who I was referring to. That’s like an admission of guilt. And you grasp the threat I’m attempting to bring to your agenda calling to be totally ignored.

You don’t have to be happy with our QB to understand what he does or doesn’t bring. I think most fans realize his assets and liabilities. But they aren’t rooting for 1-17 or his career ending injury.

Most fans aren’t happy with results this era but they don’t take a Stephen A approach in this forum. It’s obvious the intent.

Saying your unhappy with the results which most fans probably are which also reflects on our QB doesn’t represent they all think he totally suks nor are they starting threads repeatedly bashing him rooting for injuries or 1-17 season with no other criticism on other other aspects of the Cowboys.

Dak is here cause Jethro & Son want him here. And as long as they do he’s our QB for better or worse. Critical thinking and discussions are welcome. Trolling the board like a one trick pony is frowned upon.

I appreciate you publicly acknowledging the troll vote and behavior. Now it’s up to everyone to react accordingly.

What the Jones' say today has little relevance in the future.

Exactly.

Dang ...... that was a savage beatdown

 

[Vandyr]

I just want the Cowboys to win a super bowl. Don't see that happening with Dak.

 

[TNCowboy]

If Lance shows them something during the year, and Dak is like last year or worse, he's gone. at thinking some comment by Stephen matters one way or the other.

 

[DallasEast]

Stephen says Dak will be a Cowboy for many many years to come​

I said this in November 2016. Not hard to predict knowing Jerry Jones. Or DNA Kid #1 for that matter. Both are as transparent as a cube of ice on a 115 degree summer day.

 

[mardwin]

I thought Zeke was staying for a while too. Until they lost in the playoffs and somebody needed to fall on the sword.

 

[Chuck 54]

How many times did he say this about Romo?

It was true of Romo too. Dak would have never seen the field if Tony hadn’t proven he was physically unreliable. Even when Romo was cleared to play, he was kept on the bench partly because the team was cruising with Dak, but I’d guess mostly because they didn’t want to put Tony back in charge and see him go out again on first contact. It’s very telling that Romo retired when his services would have been hugely
valuable in the league if his back wasn’t totally shot.

 

[CowboyRoy]

This IMO should kill any talk of Dak NOT getting his extension for at least 3-5 more years. Trust me, Stephen already has a good idea of what Dak's price tag will be, yet it didn't stop him from making the statement.
