On the day the Cowboys reported to training camp, left guard Tyler Smith made headlines when he said the Super Bowl is a \u201crealistic goal<\/a>.\u201d The Cowboys, of course, haven\u2019t played in an NFC Championship Game since 1995, which was their most recent Super Bowl appearance.<\/p>\n

New coach Brian Schottenheimer has echoed Smith\u2019s words, and quarterback Dak Prescott called it the goal and expectation every year despite the drought.<\/p>\n

\u201cHell yeah<\/a>. If [Smith] doesn\u2019t believe it, or anybody in that locker room doesn\u2019t don\u2019t believe it, then I would ask him to get out,\u201d Prescott said Thursday, via Clarence Hill of All City DLLS. \u201cSchotty said it day one we showed up. If you don\u2019t want to win the Super Bowl, don\u2019t think we can win a Super Bowl, then don\u2019t come to Oxnard and you\u2019re in the wrong place. We know the standard when you wear the star. We know the expectations. And I credit Schotty for not shying away from it. I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s ever heard me shy away from it. So it\u2019s just making sure everybody understands that. We have to think that. We have to manifest that. I appreciate Tyler for saying it and believing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prescott heads into this 10th season with high expectations and the burden of a 2-5 postseason record. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019ve done or accomplished really doesn\u2019t hold any weight to me,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cThat\u2019s the true fucking motivation. That\u2019s the truth . . . in your stomach. Like that\u2019s what\u2019s in your gut. It\u2019s obvious that I don\u2019t [have a Super Bowl] so it\u2019s not like, \u2018Oh my God, somebody knows there\u2019s a secret.\u2019 Like, my secrets out. No, fuck that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what pushes me to be better each and every day, and that\u2019s what I wanted. That\u2019s not just for myself. It\u2019s for everybody. You\u2019ve got to love when your expectations align and your standards align with not only the coaches, the front office, but the fans as well. I think that\u2019s the great part about playing with the Cowboys is it says you\u2019re as good as your last game. Period. What are you doing for us now? And when your last games are playoff losses. . . . That\u2019s obvious. That\u2019s what sits on me, and it should sit on fans, too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the day the Cowboys reported to training camp, left guard Tyler Smith made headlines when he said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22198,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-22197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22197\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
