FRISCO, Texas – Throughout all the frenzy about his fantastic stat to the preseason, Dak Prescott has stressed the importance of an even keel.
If it wasn’t already apparent, it’s becoming quite clear that he’ll need it.
Veteran starters came and went as they pleased, mostly unbothered, on Monday in the Cowboys’ locker room. But when Prescott finished getting dressed, he was mobbed by a group of reporters that would rival any crowd at Tony Romo’s locker.
It might seem like a lot to deal with, but Prescott continues to take it in stride, insisting that he isn’t fazed.
“I’ve got high expectations for myself,” he said. “I’ve played pretty good games for the most part, but then you go back and look at it, I was saved by an interception. I did throw an interception, he just hit me late. I made a couple mistakes when it comes to calling plays and stuff like that, so a lot of it has to be cleaned up.”
It’s a bit of an understatement to call the rookie’s preseason “pretty good” to this point. Yes, he has made mistakes – highlighted by the aforementioned interception, which was negated by a flag. But he has also completed 81 percent of his passes for 338 yards and six total touchdowns.
Those numbers come with the caveat that it’s preseason – teams aren’t typically game planning for their opponents, and defenses aren’t exactly running sophisticated schemes. For his part, Prescott said he’s just doing his job, regardless of whether he’s doing it against vanilla defenses or not.
