Shan and RJ broke down Dak Prescott’s comments from a recent awards event, where he said he could play right now if needed. They discussed whether his injury history might influence the Cowboys' draft strategy. Rumors about a 50-pound weight loss were also debunked, and they examined Dak’s current mobility. The conversation then shifted to leadership roles on the team, and RJ questioned new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus’ decision-making.

00:00and he was asked like do you have to stop running so much and he said me playing my best i'm mobile
00:20whether it's actually running past the line of scrimmage or scrambling making plays happen with
00:24my arm so that's vital for me that is a big part of this so dak is telling us no i'm not running less
00:32it's a part of my game and it needs to stay a part of my game well i mean i don't know how much less
00:37he can run than what he has i mean that's you're basically tom brady back there if you're not going
00:44to run anymore yeah but yeah he needs to run like that's the thing it is part of his game he needs to
00:49run to throw i would like to get some numbers on this like rolling out oh yeah yeah i mean it feels
00:54like when he rolls out and cuts it loose i'm betting on a big play to happen more often than not that's
01:00what he's at his best watching him scram and he needs look i have no problem with what he said
01:05there was a time a couple years ago i agree with jerry like cut down on the design runs it is what
01:12it is it's part of his game um you need your little fake red zone read options for him to use his legs
01:18it's just painful to watch him run yeah i mean honestly to me it's he doesn't need to run he
01:23needs to be mobile though yes like to me they're whenever anybody's like oh he needs to run like
01:27he needs to do rpos or he needs to have the the option in there to be able to run and and take it if
01:33it you know uh basically they they let the edge go but to me i think it's more just about being able
01:40to be mobile enough to deliver a pass or extend a play or shift as long as he's mobile enough just to do
01:46that they're fine i do think that he when he says yeah i'm not taking running out of my game that's
01:51part of my game that's also partly rhetoric of like you're not going to tell teams telegraph that
01:56i'm not running the ball anymore but i think the reality is you can look at his numbers he does not
01:59run the ball nearly as frequently he doesn't move as much um and and it is he's going to be 32 uh coming
02:05up here in july and so he's an older player who started breaking down and you've got a
02:09a man who started breaking down and you know he's going to go up here in july right there he's going to go up here in july
02:16for example he was a player who have got a
02:29but he was already a player in july and i had a player in july's number at the level of july's number 6
02:34like he's going to be a player in july's number 6
