The Dallas Cowboys are wrapping up the preseason tonight with a matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders at AT&T Stadium, and it will be the final dress rehearsal opportunity for a handful of players to try and make a positive impression on the team and make the final roster.
One player who will not be suiting up for the Cowboys tonight is quarterback Dak Prescott, and in fact, he'll have a special assignment for the game. Tonight, he'll be calling plays:
"He's built for this," head coach Mike McCarthy said recently. "He's taken complete ownership of the offense and you have to. He's the one out there playing."
McCarthy also said that Prescott must take ownership of the installation of the new "Texas Coast Offense,'' a version of his old West Coast Offense that he featured while in Green Bay as their head coach prior to coming to the Cowboys.
"You got to be able to take advantage of things, but, most importantly, we have to train in that realm," said McCarthy of Prescott. "For [Prescott] to train and perform in that realm, he has to take ownership of it, and I think all the quarterbacks have done a really nice job of that."
Cowboys fans, how do you like Prescott calling the plays for tonight's preseason finale?
