Why Dallas expects ‘tough guy’ Mike McCarthy to be on the sidelined vs Eagles
The cowboys After having an appendix removed, Mike McCarthy is in “good spirits” and is anticipated to “show toughness” against the Eagles, according to CBS Sports’ Garrett Podell.
It is expected that McCarthy, the offensive play-caller for the Cowboys, will be coaching against the Eagles on “Sunday Night Football.” Should McCarthy be unable to coach the game on Sunday, Quinn would not even address the speculative scenario in which offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer calls the offensive plays.
“Do you really believe that rugged Irishman won’t be playing in this game?” Quinn grinned and said. “We definitely plan on having Mike return for the game. We’ll put it on hold while we rehearse. Knowing him, you can be sure that he will be on the internet tonight, eager to discuss everything from third down to red zone. We anticipate that on game day, he will be amazing.
Prescott’s reaction on McCarthy’s availability was comparable to Quinn’s.
Yeah, I figured that from the jump, knowing that guy,” Prescott said Thursday when asked if he thinks McCarthy will be on the sideline calling plays on Sunday. “Knowing how tough he is too and how tough he says he is with a great chance to prove it. So, yeah, I figured he was.”
When discussing how McCarthy has contributed to his success this season, the quarterback was far more serious. Prescott leads the NFL in throwing touchdowns (26) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (26–6) in his first season with McCarthy directing offensive plays for Dallas. He also ranks in the top five in several other passing measures.
Prescott stated on Thursday, “Yeah, his playcalling has been great honestly, and it’s a credit to him and the communication.” “It’s communication throughout the week and then the same sense, with Brian Schottenheimer, the offensive coordinator, and the way they’re installing and game planning early in the week.”
