NFC Notes: Dak Prescott, Nick Sirianni, Caleb Williams, Commanders, Cowboys, Eagles

Commanders

  • According to Dan Graziano, thereโ€™s โ€œsome thought around the leagueโ€ that the Commanders are โ€œvery interestedโ€ in USC QB Caleb Williams, who is a Washington D.C. native.
  • The Commanders would need some help to get the No. 1 overall pick, but itโ€™s not out of the realm of possibility at this point.
  • Commanders RB Antonio Gibson is glad to have Brian Robinson back in the lineup with the team dealing with injuries at the running back position: โ€œJust keeping it going and trying to maintain. We get B-Rob (Brian Robinson Jr.) back this week. Glad to see him back to help out with us this week. Just keep adding to it,โ€ per Nicki Jhabvala. 
  • Per Aaron Wilson, the Commanders worked out E.J. Jenkins and Ian Swenson.

Cowboys

  • Jordan Schultz reports the Cowboys and Dak Prescott are โ€œhighly motivatedโ€ to finalize a long-term extension this offseason which could make him the highest-paid quarterback in the league. 
  • Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy said QB Trey Lance has been comfortable learning their system and feels heโ€™s a โ€œgreat fitโ€ for them: โ€œIโ€™m with Trey every day. I see him in the meetings. Heโ€™s obviously had to learn a whole new language. I think the timing of everything, thatโ€™s a challenge for any position. Heโ€™s very comfortable, very confident. You just canโ€™t get enough work on the footwork because everybody teaches that part of it a little differently and how it fits the scheme and getting it timed up with all the players. He just needs to work. But I love his personality, love his work ethic, obviously very talented. Heโ€™s been a great fit,โ€ via Jon Machota. 

Eagles

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni felt he was too tense on the sidelines during the teamโ€™s matchup with the Giants and thinks he can work on his body language when his team is in a high-pressure situation.

โ€œI need to be better in those scenarios when there is some high-pressure areas, theyโ€™ve got to see me calm and not tense there,โ€ Sirianni said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œThere is a time and place to be tense and thereโ€™s a time and place not to be. I know thatโ€™s something that I always have to work on as a head coach, and so thatโ€™s something Iโ€™m constantly working on. Body language, I think body language, I donโ€™t know, I look more at actions than the body language. If that makes sense. I know body language is a type of action, but I look more at the action of the players and the coaches and myself there, as opposed to the body language.โ€
