The Cowboys want to use Micah Parsons' versatility but Mike McCarthy felt they overdid it with the rookie Thursday. "His volume yesterday was off the charts as far as how much he did out there on the practice field. I think that speaks to him and his ability and his talent," he said. "… We have great challenges in front of us as far as trying to play all those guys but you don't want to spread him too thin because he is unique."
Dak Prescott has big expectations for the Cowboys' offense in 2021 "Be the best offense in the NFL," he said. "Stats, scoring, whatever you want to say, we want to be the best offense and we want to make sure we're playing complementary football first and foremost with our defense and with our special teams. It's just not about getting out there and throwing it 100 times … Giving the defense a chance to get out there and to be their best. First and foremost, just be the best offense in the NFL."
Considering where he was last October after suffering a gruesome ankle injury, Dak Prescott took a moment to reflect before his first practice. "That's something I did well before the injury, so now, it's been a long time since I've been out there," he said. "It's been awhile since we've been in Oxnard. That was a special moment just to think about where I was, think about all the hard work and support and everything that went into me being back out there and being able to do what I love again.
Ezekiel Elliott said he grew up in a household that did not believe in vaccines, but he got the COVID-19 vaccine regardless. "Just because I wanted to put myself in the best situation to be out there for my team week in and week out," he said. "But I mean not everyone feels that strongly or maybe other people still have their view of vaccines. You can't force someone to do something that they don't to do to their body."
