Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had the best season of his career in 2019. Less than 12 months later, he is already adjusting to a new offensive scheme.
The Cowboys fired Jason Garrett and replaced him with former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, though McCarthy retained Kellen Moore as the offensive coordinator and primary play-caller.
Prescott said he is on the same page with his offensive personnel, and also noted the counts and adjustments feel natural (via Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk):
“I’m very comfortable in the offense, comfortable with the guys,” Prescott said. “Getting adjusted with communication. The new terms, the new words, that’s almost second nature, I guess you could say, now. I’m kind of right where I need to be and feel very comfortable with the offense and where we’re going as a team.”
This offseason has been a strange odyssey for Prescott.
Dallas initially hoped to sign the star quarterback to a long-term deal, though they used the exclusive franchise tag on Prescott so as to extend the negotiating period.
However, it became apparent Dak felt perfectly comfortable playing on the tag after the Cowboys failed to offer him more than $35 million in annual average. Indeed, he has the opportunity to make close to $38 million should the Cowboys tag him again next season.
But while it remains to be seen what the future holds for Prescott in Dallas, he is hoping to lead the Cowboys back to the playoffs in McCarthy's first year on the sidelines.
