The Dallas Cowboys are about to enter a new era on Thursday night.
It will be the dawn of the Brian Schottenheimer era or, as other fans would rather call it, the post-Micah Parsons era.
Moreover, it will mark Dak Prescott‘s return after missing the second half of last season with an injury.
That’s not necessarily great news for the Cowboys, at least according to Greg Cosell.
Talking on The Ross Tucker Podcast, the renowned analyst said that Prescott’s tape from last season wasn’t ‘an easy watch,’ and he expressed some concerns about his mobility – or lack thereof:
“I went through all of Dak Prescott’s throws from last year, and I got to tell you, it was not an easy watch. I came away believing that there was something wrong with his lower body. He’s 32 years old. He’s had a lot of lower body injuries. He was very tight-hipped. He was very heavy-footed. His balance was off. It did not look good last year, even before he left for the season,” Cosell said.

The Cowboys’ offense looked much better when backup Cooper Rush took the reins of the team last season.
They closed out the year on a high note and almost even made the playoffs.
Prescott hasn’t been a mobile quarterback for years now.
That’s not a surprise, given how many injuries he’s sustained over the years.
The Cowboys haven’t fared well when relying on Prescott to lead the way, and they need a strong running game for their quarterback to be effective.
They made some moves to revamp their running backs corps ahead of the season, but they still don’t have a clear-cut workhorse back.
They also gave Prescott another strong weapon in George Pickens.
But after watching him struggle and fall short for so many years, and given how Jerry Jones has often talked about him, Dak Prescott might be playing for his job this season, especially with Joe Milton III waiting in line.
