Cowboys News: Offensive storylines galore, Dallas’ excellent scouting
The Dallas Cowboys offense is full of storylines for 2023. Running back Tony Pollard enters his first season as the starter and his situation is one of the best for an offensive player in the entire league. At quarterback, Dak Prescott is poised for a bounce-back year and it’s clear the team has a lot of trust in him with the way the offense is being built under Mike McCarthy.
One interesting story is Hunter Luepke, who forced the team’s hand with the 53-man roster. McCarthy praised the rookie fullback, and made a bold comparison for him. The diamond in the rough is a norm for Dallas, and it’s a testament to the talent recognition the Cowboys have on their staff.
While Pollard is the star of the rushing show, Rico Dowdle is finally getting his big opportunity, and he’s poised to stand out as RB2. How he’s preparing for this moment, backup center discussions and more in the latest News and Notes.
