The Dallas Cowboys entered last season with high hopes and expectations. They had a new coach in Mike McCarthy and wanted to put an end to their Super Bowl drought. But their porousdefense, lack of offensive balance, and Dak Prescottās injury took a toll on their chances.
Now, their star quarterback will be back under center and ready to go. He overcame a gruesome and potentially career-threatening injury but according to multiple reports, heās looked as good as heās ever been.
Nonetheless, Prescott recently said that heās not looking to put up big numbers next year. Thatās why because throwing for a lot of yards means that youāre not running the football, and thatās not gonna get it done in the NFL.
Dak Prescott Says He Doesnāt Want To Pass For 6,000+ Yards This Season
āI donāt want to throw for 6,000 yards, to be honest with you,ā Prescott told the Dallas Morning News. āThat means weāre not running the ball. That means weāre not probably doing the things we need to do to be a balanced, winning team. Sure, it would be great to have those numbers and to break that or to have that record or whatever it is. But itās not something that I put in my head. As I said, I want to be the best offense in the NFL, and I think the best way we can do that is if Iām not throwing that many yards, and our run game is working, and weāre playing complementary football, and weāre winning a lot of games. And I think if thatās the case, then hopefully Iām not playing as many fourth quarters trying to come back and do the two-minute drills we were doing in the first five games that got me a lot of those numbers.ā
Prescott was on pace to throw for 6,700+ yards last season before going down with that injury but that didnāt translate into much success for his team. Hopefully, theyāll be able to run the ball and give the offense more balance next season.
