Cowboys News: Quinn’s motivational tactics; update on Pollard, Parsons; Titans predictions

Defenders get a moment of glory for each takeaway; the latest on who will suit up Thursday; Dak’s soaring and T.O. is sniffing around. | From @ToddBrock24f7

Defensive players often don’t get the kind of publicity or recognition that their offensive counterparts enjoy, but Dan Quinn makes sure that every Cowboys defender who logs a takeaway gets a cool moment of glory in front of everyone. The unit will look to collect more souvenirs Thursday night against the Titans’ B-team, but they may have to do so without second-year phenom Micah Parsons. We’ve got the latest on who else may not suit up in Nashville, plus predictions from the team’s staff writers about the final score.

Elsewhere, Dak Prescott hauls in more hardware, but he’s urging his teammates to keep the momentum going as they close out the regular season. A former star receiver makes noise about a comeback… and another less-distant Cowboys alum reacts accordingly. We’ve got the Cowboys’ chances of winning it all, personal records that could still be set, and a look at which school has become the place to shop if you want all-star defensive backs. That and more in this edition of News and Notes.
