Cowboys
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said heโs having a difficult time after the organization parted ways with former OC Kellen Moore and RB Ezekiel Elliott.
โItโs tough to say itโs sweet right now honestly. Thatโs just what those guys mean to me. You know what I mean?โ Prescott said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. โYou (make) these relationships and thatโs what makes you play the way you do, are the relationships you build within the organization and within your team. Whether itโs with the coaches or whether itโs with teammates. I know the sweet is coming. I know itโs coming. Very optimistic guy, donโt get me wrong. Change is good as Iโve always said that but itโs tough for me to see in this moment. But I know itโs coming and excited when it does.โ
Prescott points out he and Elliott were both selected in the 206 NFL Draft.
โItโs tough,โ Prescott said. โ(A) brother. Playing the game with a brother. Being able to start this NFL career and share so many memories and grow up as men. Grow up as men with this organization, really canโt imagine taking the field without him. Itโs something I donโt know if itโs completely hit me yet. Obviously Iโve talked to him. Iโm hurt. Iโm sure he is. But more importantly for me just to be able to support him. I know heโs got more opportunities coming his way. Love that guy, proud of him, No. 1 supporter and here for him no matter what.โ
Prescott notices that players he was accustomed to playing alongside have retired or are now on other teams.
โIt makes you better controlling those emotions, getting over that, understanding that we all will hang up the cleats one day,โ Prescott said. โThat it all comes to an end. Whether itโs at the time we want it to, whether itโs at the place or the organization we want it to or not, thatโs the reality. As you get older and you see that happen more and more with guys youโre closer with and friends, this becomes more of a reality of getting old, I guess. Itโs unfortunate. It sucks. But itโs part of it and hate to see all those guys go and us not win. Thatโs what will eat at me forever.โ
