With two full weeks to go before OTAs begin, Cowboys players are talking up their coaches. Zack Martin loves what OL coach Mike Solari is bringing in his second stint in Dallas, and Leighton Vander Esch has the highest of praise for defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Meanwhile, there’s some debate over an exchange captured on-camera between Cowboys wide receivers coach Robert Prince and Tennessee prospect Jalin Hyatt: was it a knock on the youngster’s skills or a nudge to push harder on the field?
Elsewhere, Brandin Cooks could mean big things for Dak Prescott, and Stephon Gilmore is eager to get to work with the Cowboys’ young cornerbacks. We’re picking the steal of the Cowboys’ draft class, and NFL executives are weighing in with what they really thought of last weekend’s picks. An ex-Steeler looks to be joining the Cowboys staff on a temporary basis, and not one but two Cowboys found themselves in social media spats of sorts. Find out what got CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons clapping back later in this edition of News and Notes.
