Dak Prescott dealt with the uncertainty of running back Ezekiel Elliott's

looming six-game suspension last year when the Dallas Cowboys slid from an NFC-best 13 wins to out of the playoffs.Now the star quarterback faces the unknown of a revamped and largely unproven group of receivers after the departures of Jason Witten and Dez Bryant.Elliott http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/la_el-collins-jersey-cheap , Prescott's fellow rookie standout from two years ago, is the supposed sure thing for a team looking up in the NFC East at defending Super Bowl champ Philadelphia.Cole Beasley is the leader of the pass-catchers simply by having the longest Dallas tenure. The Cowboys have high hopes for newcomer Allen Hurns and rookie Michael Gallup, the first receiver drafted by the club (third round) after dumping franchise touchdown catch leader Bryant in a cost-cutting move."They're very hungry guys," Prescott said. "They're guys that you may not necessarily know their names, but that's what they want. They want to get out there and make those plays, let people know that they can play and they can play at a high level."Elliott ended up serving the suspension over domestic violence allegations halfway through last season, triggering a three-game losing streak that was too much to overcome in the tight NFC playoff race.Throw in the retirement of Tony Romo last year spurred by the sudden emergence of Prescott, and the team's three most important offensive players for a decade have been replaced by Elliott, the 2016 rushing champion, and his backfield mate, that year's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year."It just shows how fast time goes and how quick things can change, but I think we're both ready to embrace this leadership role," said Elliott, who still led the NFL in yards rushing per game last season. "We're excited for this year to come."Some story lines with the Cowboys seeking a third straight winning season for the first time since the last of five straight in 2009:DEFENSE FIRST?The Cowboys have been offense-first just about every year since coach Jason Garrett joined the staff as offensive coordinator in 2007. If the preseason is any indication, Dallas might feed off its defense for once.DeMarcus Lawrence, who tied for second in the NFL with 14陆 sacks last season, leads a pass rush that's gaining momentum. Linebacker Sean Lee is ready to be a face for the franchise with Witten gone. Starting cornerbacks Byron Jones and Chidobe Awuzie head a batch of young potential playmakers in the secondary."I don't like to get ahead of ourselves — we have to put the stats down and the wins and the turnovers," Lee said."Until we do that, we can't say anything. When it comes to the right group of guys, guys who love to work and are talented Cheap Terrance Williams Jersey , it's as good a group as I've worked with."UNCERTAINTY AT CENTERFour-time Pro Bowl center Travis Frederick is out indefinitely after getting diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome , a disorder that attacks the nervous system. His absence raises a big question with the other part of the Elliott formula: a vaunted offensive line.Right guard Zack Martin injured a knee in the preseason, but expects to be ready for the opener Sept. 9 at Carolina.Left tackle Tyron Smith has battled back issues the past few seasons. Joe Looney is set to step in for Frederick, and the Cowboys have a rookie at left guard in second-round pick Connor Williams.LEE'S CO-STARSWhile Lee anchors the linebackers, Jaylon Smith has the Cowboys encouraged about his continuing recovery from a devastating knee injury in his final college game. He missed his rookie year while rehabbing and struggled with consistency last season.Smith is playing without a brace this year and believes he has regained the form that made him a potential top-10 pick coming out of Notre Dame. First-round pick Leighton Vander Esch missed the latter part of training camp with a groin injury, but is expected to contribute as a rookie.THICK AND THINDepth will be a strength with pass rushing if Randy Gregory and David Irving can overcome substance-abuse suspensions and contribute a few sacks apiece. Gregory was suspended all of last season, but has looked promising at camp. Irving is opening the season with a four-game suspension for the second year in a row.The Cowboys are dangerously thin at safety. Jeff Heath is the only healthy player with significant experience. Xavier Woods (hamstring) and Kavon Frazier (shoulder) were injured in consecutive weeks in the preseason. Woods might miss the opener, while Frazier says he will play. As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for a huge playoff battle with the Rams out in L.A. this weekend, there is a pretty big football game also taking the stage in California on Monday night. For the third time in four seasons — and fourth year in a row that the teams play one another — the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Clemson Tigers battle for the National Championship crown of college football.Just like we have come to expect from these two squads, both teams are absolutely loaded with players that will be playing in NFL as soon as next season — and that does not even include the two quarterbacks or wide receiver rooms stacked with professional talent that are not draft eligible just yet.Needless to say, you will want to have your eyes glued to the television this evening. BTB gives you just ten prospects to watch as the two top teams in college football try to knock each other out in Santa Clara.*Note: Projected first-round defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence will not play Monday evening due to suspension.Quinnen Williams, DL, Alabama:One of the most dominant players in college football this season has been Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams. Williams, who played sparingly prior to this season, has transformed into a monster in 2018 posting 66 total tackles, 18 tackles-for-loss, and eight sacks in 13 games for the Tide. Along with running mate Raekwon Davis, who will also likely be taken in the first, the Clemson offensive line will have their hands full on Saturday evening. Do not be surprised if you see Williams be taken in the first three picks in April.Irv Smith, TE http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/anthony-brown-jersey-cheap , Alabama:Noah Fant is the top tight end on many boards, but Irv Smith, Jr. is one that can climb up the draft boards quickly. The son of former New Orleans Saints tight end Irv Smith, Sr. has caught 38 passes for 648 yards and seven touchdowns this season, becoming a reliable and big-play target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. With a need at the tight end spot, the Cowboys would love to somehow have the NFL legacy fall to the second-round, or at least in striking distance for Dallas to consider making a move.And if you have any questions or concerns about his ability to block — don’t.Clelin Ferrell, EDGE, Clemson:One of the better pass rushers in this draft class resides in Clemson, South Carolina, and will look to reside in the Clemson Tide backfield on Monday night. Ferrell flirted with the NFL Draft last offseason, but opted to come back in hopes of winning a championship for the Tigers. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound EDGE has 47 tackles, 17.5 tackles-for-loss, and 10.5 sacks to his name in 2018.Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson:Much like fellow defensive line teammate Ferrell, Christian Wilkins could have left Clemson early for the 2018 draft, but he too wanted another shot at glory. Wilkins, 6-foot-4 and 300-pounds Youth Byron Jones Jersey , has been a key piece on the Tigers defense since his freshman campaign. In 2018, Wilkins has made 46 total stops, including 12.5 TFLs and 4.5 sacks. Look for the Massachusetts native to hear his name called on day-one or day-two come April.Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson:The majority have LSU’s Greedy Williams as the draft’s top corner, but Clemson’s Trayon Mullen has a case to be right up there. The lengthy 6-foot-2, 190-pound defensive back is the Tigers best player in a secondary that will look to make life hard for Alabama signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa. Mullen has not picked off a pass yet this season, but he has made 25 tackles, three behind the line of scrimmage, and has gotten to the quarterback once.Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama:Perhaps the most unknown draft prospect in this game is Alabama tailback Josh Jacobs. The Oklahoma native was under-recruited until after a huge senior season to cap-off his high school career. Playing a backseat to running backs Damien Harris and Najee Harris over the past two seasons, Jacobs has been overlooked by many; however, Jacobs put his name in the national spotlight in the semifinal game against the Sooners — rushing for 98 yards on 15 carries and adding a receiving touchdown in the win. If the junior decides to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft, expect the ‘Bama back to be in the conversation as the best at his position in the class.Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama:LSU’s Devin White is the top linebacker in the upcoming draft class, but Mack Wilson is certainly not far behind. The former five-star recruit has been a star for Nick Saban’s defense during his time in Tuscaloosa. Wilson has totaled 65 tackles, one sack, and a pair of interceptions in his junior season. There has been some speculation that Wilson could return for his fourth year Cheap Demarcus Lawrence Jersey , but he would be a first-round selection in 2019.Deionte Thompson, SAF, Alabama:The best safety in the 2019 draft class plays for the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Texas native has had a huge 2018 season for Saban, making 75 tackles, two interceptions, and forcing three fumbles as a redshirt-junior. Thompson, 6-foot-2, is a true centerfield prospect that should make an immediate impact in the NFL.Austin Bryant, EDGE, Clemson:Overshadowed by some other beasts on the defensive line, Austin Bryant is yet another playmaker for Dabo Swinney’s Tigers. Bryant was a candidate to come out early, but decided to return to school with his teammates for the very game that the Tigers are playing in tonight. We wrote on the Clemson defender last fall when it appeared as if Bryant was going to make the jump to the NFL:Jonah Williams. OT, Alabama:The consensus top offensive tackle prospect in April’s draft is Alabama’s Jonah Williams. The former five-star prospect has lived up his billing for the Crimson Tide, anchoring one of the most explosive offenses across the nation. Williams, 6-foot-5 and 310-pounds, is projected to be taken within the first ten picks of the draft. Williams is not the longest, but he is a physical lineman that is capable of being a key piece on a good offensive line on the next level. Custom Tennessee Titans Jerseys
