This release was published on openPR.Five guaranteed games remain on Mike McCarthy’s contract. hopes the keep his head coach for more. The Cowboys quarterback can’t meaningfully impact his team’s performance as he . That bothers him. “Your coach seems like he's playing on his last contract and [I’m] almost feeling helpless like I can’t help him in this situation, especially a guy you believe in so much and you believe in being your head coach,” Prescott told Yahoo Sports during a Tuesday afternoon Zoom call. “Control what I can control, help and support Mike to every extent that I can.” In nine seasons with the Cowboys, Prescott has played for two head coaches. He leans on his experience watching Jason Garrett coach the final year of his deal in 2019 to manage this season. Prescott said he was glad to hear team owner and general manager to consider McCarthy returning for a sixth season and beyond. “I believe in him wholeheartedly,” Prescott said, speaking in partnership with DICK’S Sporting Goods. “I don't want to necessarily get into the nuts and the screws of it all obviously, but I think he definitely deserves a chance — another contract and a chance to coach this team amongst more influence. ‘On his terms’ may be a good way to say it. “But I wholeheartedly believe in him.” The Cowboys posted three straight 12-win seasons from 2021 through 2023 under McCarthy. They’ve made the playoffs each of McCarthy’s years in which Prescott has been healthy for more than half of the games but fallen far short of their postseason goals. The Cowboys have not advanced to the NFC championship, much less the Super Bowl, since the 1995 season. After the 2021 season, the San Francisco 49ers upset the Cowboys in the wild-card round, 23-17. Dallas was the only division winner to lose in that round. The next year, Dallas beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a soon-to-be-retired-for-good Tom Brady in the wild-card round. But the 49ers eliminated them again in the divisional round. And after the 2023 season, the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers trounced the Cowboys at home in a 48-32 win that was more lopsided than late-game points suggested. The Packers led 27-0 with two minutes remaining in the first half. The Cowboys, who had won 16 straight games at home before then, went on to lose six straight before they . Jones said Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan that he believed momentum carries from season to season, and that the Packers loss continued to influence the Cowboys’ struggles this year. Can Cowboys carry strong end of season over to 2025? Interesting Jerry Jones response on . "No question you can carry over good play from one season to the next. Potentially we carried over not-so-good play against Green Bay that we had in our playoffs last year." — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) Dallas went 3-5 in games Prescott played. “It hurt,” Prescott said of the Packers loss. “You've got to learn from your lessons [and] you can't come in a playoff game starting slow, especially against a team that is hot. What Jerry is saying is a late come-on rally [can help]. I mean, look at Green Bay, a team that almost didn't make the playoffs last year, got going late in the year, able to make the playoffs and not only make the playoffs, [but] make a run and beating us, playing San Fran tight to the end and then that's propelled them into this season. “Winning two games back to back is huge, so we can continue to just do that and take some momentum, take some confidence, understanding that a huge amount of this team will still be on the team next year.” With Cowboys on two-game win streak, Jerry Jones tells that Mike McCarthy is "steady as a rock." "He’s genuine. He’s no B.S. for these players. I never thought for one second that the team had quit recognizing what an outstanding coach he is." — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) Coming off division wins against the Washington Commanders and Giants, the 5-7 Cowboys have a 4 percent chance of making the playoffs, per Next Gen Stats. The Cowboys next host the Cincinnati Bengals on "Monday Night Football." The Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders follow on Dallas’ schedule. Jones and the Cowboys' front office will decide the franchise’s coaching future afterward. Prescott knows his vote. He wants the coach who’s helped him sharpen his footwork and timing, teaching him nuances of the game that propelled Prescott to MVP runner-up last season. “The guy’s won a Super Bowl — I know Jerry's attested to that,” Prescott said. “There's not many guys or coaches who have done that and to have one that can do it from experience? I know how valuable he’s been for me.”
Future of Software Asset Management Managed Service Market: Analysis and Leadership by B-lay, Bytes Technology Group, Business Continuity Services (BCS), Deloitte, Elee, Derive Logic, Aspera, CerteroASHBURN, Va. (AP) — When Dan Quinn left the Dallas Cowboys after three years as their defensive coordinator to coach the Washington Commanders, it looked as if he was leaving a perennial playoff contender for a rebuilding project. Instead, Quinn's Commanders are in the thick of the playoff race even after consecutive losses provided something of a speed bump, while the Cowboys' season has fallen apart . Dallas (3-7) visits Washington (7-4) on Sunday in a franchise role reversal for the NFC East rivals. "For me and for the guys, man, it’s Washington-Dallas Week, let’s get down," Quinn said. “I don’t make one (game) too often bigger than another. I just think they’re all really important, and we absolutely go after it as hard as we can.” Quinn, defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. and a handful of former Dallas players have been part of Washington's turnaround, including pass rusher Dante Fowler, defensive end Dorance Armstrong, center Tyler Biadasz and receiver Noah Brown, who famously caught rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary toss for the game-winning touchdown last month to beat Chicago . Armstrong has followed the Cowboys' downfall since leaving in free agency, saying simply, “It’s not good.” And that was before a piece of their stadium's roof fell Monday night before their fifth consecutive loss , a 34-10 blowout by Houston . Injuries, including starting QB Dak Prescott's torn hamstring that led to season-ending surgery, have been the backdrop for Dallas' forgettable year. Coach Mike McCarthy, who's approaching the end of his contract and possibly his tenure, said he and his staff are “going to stay the course” and play who's available. That means Cooper Rush again getting the nod in place of Prescott, though McCarthy said a package of plays could open up to get 2021 No. 3 pick Trey Lance into the game. “Cooper’s been there for a little minute, so he knows the system really good," said Fowler, who leads the Commanders with 8 1/2 sacks. "Trey Lance is really good with his legs, and he’s a dynamic quarterback, as well. You don’t want to go out there half-stepping against those guys because they do play good football, as well.” The Commanders have played far better football than the Cowboys so far this season, so much that the home team is a 10 1/2-point favorite on BetMGM Sportsbook. Washington has never been more than a nine-point favorite against Dallas in any game going back to at least 2003, according to BetMGM. The Cowboys could get a bit of a spark with the anticipated return of receiver Brandin Cooks, who has seen way too much sorrow around him since he last played in Week 4. “Get guys playing at a high level, playing fun, playing free, and having a great time out there,” Cooks said. “That’s what I’m not seeing right now. I think we can go out there and be more joyful in our process.” There's plenty of joy in Washington, with the playoffs still on the line, unlike Dallas. “It’s definitely cool to be in that type of position rather than being on the other side," Fowler said. “Just cool to see what Coach Quinn has just done since he came here with this team and getting a group of guys to come together and play as one.” A rib injury knocked Daniels out of a rout of Carolina on Oct. 20, and while he did not miss a game, the 23-year-old has not been as dangerous or effective since. The No. 2 pick out of LSU and reigning Heisman Trophy winner has completed 59.5% of his passes the past four games after 75.6% before getting injured, and he has had his average rushing yards cut nearly in half from 53.1 to 27.5. Quinn insists Daniels is not injured and pinned the regression on a lack of practice time in recent weeks. Daniels also said he's good to go after some extra rest following a 26-18 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday, Nov. 14. “The mini bye, I think it just helps everything, just to reset your mind and get ready for the second half of the season,” Daniels said. “I was able to reset and refocus, restart.” The offensive line has been a problem all season for the Cowboys. Now it’s a major injury concern. Perennial All-Pro right guard Zack Martin and promising young left guard Tyler Smith sustained ankle injuries on the same drive in the fourth quarter for the Cowboys against the Texans. Martin, who is also dealing with a shoulder issue, is doubtful. Smith is questionable while also working through a knee injury. T.J. Bass and Brock Hoffman were the replacements at guard against the Texans. The Cowboys could start four linemen 25 or younger, although veteran tackle Chuma Edoga could make his season debut. Edoga was the projected starter at left tackle before injuring a toe in training camp. He is listed as questionable. “With Zack, he’s a keystone for our offensive line," McCarthy said. "That will be a big one. But it’s more opportunity for these young players who haven’t played a lot and are getting a lot of work." McCarthy said the Cowboys “took a step backward, clearly” running the ball against Houston after making progress the previous couple of games. Rico Dowdle, now the clear lead back after ineffectiveness and off-field drama from Ezekiel Elliott, had just 28 yards on 10 carries, and the Cowboys finished with 64 yards. They allowed 141 yards, including 109 and three touchdowns by Joe Mixon, and have the NFL's second-worst rushing defense. Washington's Brian Robinson Jr. has already set a career high with seven TD runs and could be in for a lot of carries. “I look forward to running the ball any time,” Robinson said. “I’m prepared, I’m ready and if it happens like that, I’m ready for it."

1 2 Nagpur: Despite raising their voices after being deprived of chance to vote during the Lok Sabha elections held earlier this year, majority of the residents of old-age homes in the city claimed they couldn't exercise their franchise in the assembly polls too. Those in the 85+ age group were hoping to avail the home voting facility but complained they did not receive enrolment forms for the same. "We tried to plead that the home voting facility be extended to those 70 and above, but to no avail," said Mohan Sarwate, caretaker and manager of Soham Seniors Home which is a shelter for 60 members aged 65 to 90. Sarwate added that around 45 senior citizens from the old-age home had to travel to different parts of the city, such as Gokulpeth and Ring Road, to reach their respective polling stations and cast their votes. Makarand Kolaskar (76), a resident of Soham, was unable to vote during the LS elections as he did not have an voter card with a local address. Speaking to TOI, Kolaskar said, "Travelling to the polling station was a bit challenging as I had to arrange for transport, although Soham made travel accommodations for a few since all the polling stations were scattered. Preference was given to senior citizens at the polling station. I did not require assistance in walking or getting to the polling station, but officers at the booth were more than willing to help." The Elder Joy Care Centre and Old-age Home in Pratap Nagar, has 15 bedridden and paralysed senior citizens. Owner of the place told TOI, "None of these people were able to vote in the Lok Sabha elections. I tried to contact the authorities and local representatives of political parties, but to no avail. The members ranging from 50 to 92 years old were eligible for home voting because of their disability, but none of the authorities answered queries satisfactorily regarding the matter."17 MVCC students join Spire honor society
