Cowboys Player Leaks Frustration With Dak Prescott, Mike McCarthy

Not just Dallas Cowboys supporters felt let down by the team’s performance during their early elimination from the NFL playoffs.

Following Dallas’ crushing defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, NFL Network’s Jane Slater gave an update inside the Cowboys locker room.

Overall, the Dallas locker room continues to back head coach Mike McCarthy, according to the league insider.

“To the fans, who think this team has quit on Mike McCarthy my conversations with players don’t tell me that AT all,” Slater detailed in a January 15, 2024 message on X.

“Really interesting hearing them defend him, his culture & how he’s lead them on the field and off of it. Their ownership of failing Mike is what stands out the most.”

This is not to say there was not some frustration with McCarthy and Dak Prescott among Cowboys players.

Slater also reported that there was skepticism about the lack of adapting during the loss as well as Prescott’s ability to move beyond his first read.

“Fans can roll their eyes but I do think players thoughts matter as Jerry Jones weighs decision,” Slater added.

“Another player was frustrated with a stubbornness to stick to schemes on both sides of the ball. Motion offenses killing defenses and concern that Dak panics when 1st read not there.”

Dak Prescott Is Still ‘Incredibly Supported’ in the Dallas Cowboys Locker Room, Says Insider

One day later, Slater attempted to add context to her initial report. The NFL Network reporter added that Prescott remains “incredibly supported in that locker room.

” Yet, Slater’s initial report indicates there is at least some level of frustration with the performances of McCarthy and Prescott in the team’s final game.

In a string of tweets on January 16, Slater stated, “I should have given it more nuance and shouldn’t have put it in a tweet.” “To be absolutely clear, I did not speak with CeeDee Lamb, and I’m not here to stir up drama in the locker room.

I was just attempting to gauge opinions about Mike in light of the external criticism and the events of Sunday.

“Dak is incredibly supported in that locker room. By his own admission that wasn’t his best game Sunday.

I want people to be fair and I apologize for not being more clear. I don’t want this narrative to take on a life of its own and it clearly has.”

Cowboys Rumors: Dallas Is Treating Meeting With Mike McCarthy ‘Like a Job Interview’
