For all the talk about the bare-bones skeleton crew catching passes for the Cowboys, Dak Prescott is taking a glass-half-full approach. He voiced confidence in his young receivers on Thursday and put on another stellar practice performance. He’s proclaimed CeeDee Lamb to be “that dude,” but one outlet says there’s still a solid veteran leader out there on the streets who could be a huge no-brainer boost for the Dallas air game.
Elsewhere, Dan Quinn shares exactly how he’d like to repeat as the league’s takeaway champs, an undrafted free agent could be Quinn’s new project for 2022, and there’s a strategy for helping newly-signed linebacker Anthony Barr ramp up with his new unit. COVID and injuries hit the RB room hard enough to cause a ripple throughout several other positions, Jason Garrett makes his new-crew debut in Canton, Bill Parcells shares his secrets for grading players, and the home of the Cowboys will host a college championship for several more seasons. That’s all up next in News and Notes.
