Cowboys News: Gallup won’t be ready, Diggs’ floor is lava

Lofty goals for Cowboys’ stars, the rise of Jayron Kearse and the state of the WR room with Michael Gallup’s likely absence for Week 1. | From @CDBurnett7

The Cowboys’ stars appear as hungry as ever. After linebacker Micah Parsons set lofty goals for himself, cornerback Trevon Diggs matched that mindset. When asked about his goals for 2022, the third-year corner plans to top his 11-interception sophomore showing. It’s a reflection of the personality Dan Quinn’s defense is building, including safety Jayron Kearse, whose dramatic rise is the embodiment of Dallas’ gritty defense.

On the other side of the line of scrimmage, quarterback Dak Prescott discussed age 29 being his “golden year” and didn’t hesitate to bring up the constant drive to win a Super Bowl when the microscope is on him as the Dallas quarterback.

To the sides of Prescott will largely be fresh faces come Week 1 of the regular season. Wide receiver Michael Gallup confirmed it’s far-fetched to see him Week 1 and the Cowboys have new pieces in Jalen Tolbert, James Washington and KaVontae Turpin to fill in for Gallup.
