NFC Notes: Dak Prescott, Nick Sirianni, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

Cowboys

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott attributed the team’s loss to their lack of success in the red zone.

You look at this loss, we moved the ball up and down the field and just couldn’t score,” Prescott said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “So that’s your reason for this loss.

Prescott alluded to attempting to make more plays with his feet in order to regain that extra element to the offense.

We’ve got to do better,” Prescott said. “Just as a team, as a unit, myself. Got to make some throws. Maybe use my feet more. Honestly, that’s an area that we haven’t been good in the last two weeks. Even in the win last week, that was the sore spot in the win … We’ve all got to get back to the drawing board. Starts with me. Making some throws and making some plays with my feet and trying to get it done.

Eagles

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni remains humble and told reporters that the team is still in the middle of a growing process despite their 3-0 start.

“It’s a growth process. We’re not a final product yet,” Sirianni said after the game, via NFL.com. “Everybody wants us to be a final product now, but it’s a growth. You want to grow every day, so we’re not going to be playing our best football until we get going into the season. We still [have] things to work on, and we still [have] growth to do. If you’re truly in the mindset of getting better every day — if you’re truly in that mindset of getting better every day, which I know that we are on this team, you’re going to continue to rise. You’re going to keep getting better.”

“Are we playing our best offensive football right now? No, and we shouldn’t be yet, and it’s a growth,” Sirianni added. “All the teams are growing and no one’s playing the best football that they should be playing right now. I’ve been pleased with where we are.”

Giants

Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson was asked by reporters if he was excited to be back with the team after rehabbing from an ACL injury that kept him off the field.

“Oh yeah, definitely,” Robinson responded, via GiantsWire.com. “Never having to really miss time like that before, definitely cherishing all of the moments being back out there and just wanting to give everything I’ve got with all of the snaps that I’m getting right now. It’s been great though.”

“Luckily, I was in all of the meetings and stuff even when I was hurt so it’s really been all kind of the same ever since I was rookie,” Robinson continued. “Just trying to keep the same schedule and stay on the same path. I’m just trying to continue to get better each and every day and talking with the older guys just (seeing) if there’s anything I can do better. Just watching tape and stuff like that.”

Robinson was on a ‘pitch count’ Thursday night, something that could continue until he proves he’s durable enough for a full workload.

“It’s definitely a little difficult but I’m just following the plan. Obviously, there’s a plan in place with the training staff and the coaching staff just with me coming nine months off an ACL. I’m just going to follow the plan and just continue to get better each and every day, just let my knee get stronger.”
