Dallas Cowboys Have ‘300 Days To Reach The Super Bowl’
Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has a laser focus on the task at hand as we approach the regular season.
A successful year for the Dallas Cowboys will depend on the form of returning quarterback Dak Prescott.Â
When Dallas plays Tampa in Week 1, Dak Prescott will play his first game in 340 days. He trained for the first time since July 27 after recovering from a shoulder strain.
“We talked a little bit last night. We started this quest on April 19, there’s 300 days that are available to reach the Super Bowl and in between there you have to keep your eye on the target one day at a time,” McCarthy said.

“This is the first game, it’s the most important game because it’s the next game … But I’ve played in that game. I’ve been on both sides of it. The feeling in the opening game, it’s a ton of energy, it’s a great game to compete in. Our guys, trust me, we’re looking forward to it and we can’t wait to get there.
“I mean, not to be Captain Obvious, but it’s full-steam ahead to Tampa,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “We lost some opportunities to practice with Dak. Now that he’s back, our focus really, part of [offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s] focus and Dak’s focus really, this past week, we need to get as much in as we possibly can between now and the Tampa Bay game. Our focus is on Tampa.”

In the eleven days before the Tampa Bay game, the Dallas Cowboys have five practices. Mike McCarthy said they’re going to do ‘everything we can’ to get Dak Prescott ready. He’s been doing conditioning and footwork drills. However, we won’t know how ready he is until Week 1 begins.
