Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is off to a rough start in training camp, facing criticism for throwing some interceptions in early practices. Adding to the pressure, his teammates are engaging in trash talk. Tensions escalated between Prescott and star cornerback Trevon Diggs during a practice session on Tuesday. In the red zone, Prescott decided to scramble out of the pocket when he didn’t like his passing options. The defense quickly closed in on him, but didn’t take him to the ground. Diggs, pleased with the defensive play, taunted Prescott by yelling, “Box! Box!” It seems to suggest that Diggs had trapped Prescott on the play. In response to Diggs’ taunting, Prescott fired back with his own comments. The heated exchange ended with Diggs shouting an explicit insult at Prescott before jogging away. Prescott appeared to throw the ball towards Diggs as he returned to the huddle. Without clarification from Diggs, fans will come to their own conclusions about the incident.
Prescott has been under scrutiny even before training camp commenced, as he vowed to reduce his interceptions this season. Despite tying for the league lead with 15 interceptions last year, he stated that he won’t throw double-digit picks this season. Fans have been critical of Prescott since he threw a bad interception to Malik Hooker during a pass intended for his new target, Brandin Cooks, on Monday. As the franchise quarterback for “America’s Team,” Prescott will face continued scrutiny.
The Cowboys will be counting on Prescott to improve his performance before their Week 1 primetime matchup against the New York Giants. It remains to be seen if he can clean up his game before the season opener.
