Swagger, my definition. Being cool and knowing it. Without being cocky. Without even trying to be cool. Tony Romo, Aaron Rodgers, they both reek of it. I don't know who brings it on this team. I think Quinn does. I haven't seen him long enough. I thought Demarcus Lawrence. But now he's just not cool he's cocky. I thought Elliot could have it.. Prescott has everything but the confidence. But he's gaining it in my opinion. And if you can do that he'll bring it. Go Cowboys. Who do you think has the Swagger,?
 
Rico had it — in spades.

And what did it get him, but a one-way ticket to Waiverville?
 
Dez Bryant, Michael Irvin, Tony The Thrill Hill,. Primetime Deion, many former Cowboys. I don't think we have anyone on this current team that reeks of it
 
Swagger is that like a poser so overly impressed with yourself you border on being obnoxious. Screw swagger how about NASTY, Eric Williams Nasty , Dick Butkus nasty . I want guys with an attitude like Deacon Jones , Ronny Lott , Steve Atwater , Charles Haley, Cliff Harris , Larry Allen ,Randy White, Jack Tatum, Chuck Bednarik , Mike Irvin ,DAK PRESCOTT!!!

Get the picture here WE DONT NEED BRAVADO WE NEED SUBSTANCE. We dont need guys that change the plays to pad their stats we need guys that can lower their shoulder and finish the game like Dak did for the TD and Zeke did to Malcolm Jenkins .

We dont need business decision-makers or Divas screaming on the sideline then hearing footsteps and dropping the ball. We need the guy who has an IQ higher than 10 runs the right routes and plays through pain like Amari Cooper .

I think Bosworth had Swagger right up to the time he got hit by Bo Jackson. Johnny Football had some serious swagger great career there.

OK OK Lawrence Taylor and Thomas Henderson both were great players had SWAGGER and drug problems Bottom line Swagger is OVERRATED.

I totally disagree that's cool. Screw Swagger. That natural confidence I don't think so. I reek of it. And people love me. I actually said without being cocky maybe you didn't understand that part you can't have one without the other. There are a lot of people in this world Stand Up Guys with Integrity that have Swagger.

I don't think you understand what true Swagger is. I know what you're describing. That cocky little kid man that thinks they know it all. You basically describe Dez Bryant that's not Swagger in my opinion. That's a knucklehead Punk. Almost like Ezekiel Elliott I'm just not sure yet. But you don't like the school kid with the Swagger somebody beat you down. Apologies for that if that was the case. The Swagger doesn't do that. I don't know what to tell you. LOL you need to redefine Swagger because you don't have it right. Jimmie Johnson had Swagger so did Captain America Rodger Staubach
 
My personal idea of swagger is mainly about self confidence and pride in what you are and want to be. Dak Prescott fits that bill to a "T," in my opinion. An admirable quality, to be sure.

Nevertheless, Webster's dictionary defines it as walking with a bold and manly stride or having an arrogant or superior view of oneself. Actually and also, admittedly, that doesn't quite fit my own definition, I'm afraid.

Swagger comes from winning. Winning doesn't come from swagger. Winning comes from preparation. Preparation is not just running through some plays a few times or focusing on mistakes you made last week. Preparation is knowing your opponent, his strengths and his weaknesses - and then exploiting those weaknesses. Preparation results in execution.

Lombardi, Landry, Hank Stram, all the great coaches have written about this for years. Belechick lives it now and though he may not talk much about it, it shows on the field every week. Belechick may be the best defensive mind ever. He has a way of taking his opponents strength away from them. Knowing they have the best possible game plan for victory gives his team a lot of confidence when they take the field.
 
1: to conduct oneself in an arrogant or superciliously pompous manner especially : to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence
2: BOAST, BRAG

That's what Merriam Webster defines swagger as.

First before you start telling me about Roger Staubach how old are you . Second if we are going that era Joe Namath had swagger Roger Staubach had the respect of the world . Trust me I know full well what it means .

You young snowflakes have watched too many deodorant commercials and have lost touch with what it means and what we really need on this team to compete . If I have not given enough examples read VTwins post it covers it
 
no one on this team has it and Garrett is not a big fan of winners.

ride out the vanilla .

If you say you have swag....you don't have it. Swag is how other people see you.

Yep you reek of it alright a legend in your own mind but please spell Roger correctly when talking about Mr Staubach on a Cowboys fan forum makes your BS even less believable
