Jonathan Gannon Addresses Powerful Cowboys Offense

Gannon, who previously spent time as the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator, knows all about Cowboys QB Dak Prescott - though a change of scenery presents new challenges for one Gannon as Dallas touts one of the NFL's best offenses.

"You just made me nervous with that question. Yeah, that's why their stats are what their stats are. This is a very explosive offense. They have a bunch of playmakers, and I would add on a couple other guys too that you didn't talk about," Gannon said when meeting with reporters on Thursday.

"The running back (Cowboys RB Javonte Williams) is really good. Their third wide receiver (WR KaVontae Turpin) is really good too. (Cowboys QB) Dak's (Prescott) a premium player. Whatever structures you're ink, however you're playing, you have to play well.

"You also know that you have to really do a really good job of knowing where the strength and the stress of the call is because how you play, they're going to get their touches and make their catches and yards, but you have to pick and choose your spots and make sure that when we're calling a call that it takes away something that doesn't beat you.

"Obviously, I have a high opinion of Dak. He's been a good player for a long time, and he’s got some ‘war daddies’ out there with him, which is why they put up what they put up. It's a big-time offense, big-time challenge.”
