What Detroit Lions’ thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys

The most effective approach to defeat the Cowboys at home:

“You could say it every week: we need to get started quickly.” Because there is where this group shines. They get going, and then it snowballs. And then you just can’t make up for your previous mistakes in the game.”

If Jimmy Johnson’s ring ceremony was a display of disrespect:

“No, that’s fantastic. That seemed like it was for us. Jimmy Johnson is a tremendous fan of mine. He obviously grew up in Texas when the trio were winning Super Bowls. To be able to do everything that he was able to do, he’s someone I’ve observed from afar, and I’ve always been fascinated by him. His coaching technique, what he taught

Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson

Regarding Micah Parsons:

“Oh, he’s a game-changer for sure.” I was just chatting to the men above, and they move him all the time, whether it’s to the right or left side, over either guard, or over the center. Every snap, he’s almost at a different location, making it difficult to get a beat that accounts for where he’s at. So you know where he is, and they have so many other dynamic young men up front. I mean, I think [Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan] Quinn does a great job with the rotation and keeping those guys working endlessly and relentlessly. Today is our third-down day, and when you play their third-down tape, it’s simply a celebration.

Prescott has expanded in the following ways from last year:

“Man, he looks so at ease in this offense. Listen, you obviously have [Chargers Offensive Coordinator] Kellen Moore last year, as well as a head coach who wants to call it, and you just see him improving as a quarterback in that scheme. Listen, I think he’s smart, I think he’s tough, and I think he provides a unique perspective in terms of being able to throw it with pinpoint precision and know where to go with the ball while also being able to run with the ball and make plays with his legs. And, listen, he’s not [Bears quarterback Justin] Fields or these other guys, but he can make some plays with his legs.”

Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson

“With Dallas at home, everyone knows the stat. That energizes me, because you want to be the one to bring them down. You want to be the one to break their home streak and other such things. But, you know, they have a lot of terrific players, including Dak. We’ll be prepared.”
