The Cowboys believe they have a ‘secret formula’ to improving their pass rush, but have they done enough?

Jaydon Blue: “The game has slowed down completely for me. I just think I’m a completely different person than what I was at this time last year.”

The Cowboys are expected to sign edge rusher Charles Snowden.

He started 18 games over the last two seasons for the Raiders. Last year in 15 games (9 starts), he had 3 sacks, an INT and 5 tackles for loss.

He’s listed at 6-6, 250

Dak Prescott: Defense playing with “a lot of confidence.”

“You can just tell by how they’re communicating. … It’ll be a battle (in camp).

“(Defensive players) already warned me that it won’t be as easy as last year or some camps I’ve had in the past.” https://t.co/U3CPJ0tC15

Dak Prescott on George Pickens being at minicamp: “It’s great. You feel his energy. You feel his presence. It’s in the locker room. Obviously it’s out there on the football field. Everything felt good. He looks great. I know he’s going to be ready for (training) camp. The excitement, you can feel it.”

“That guy makes it easy. You see us just in routes on air out there, but you just go turn on the tape, that guy is going to get separation. He’s just different. He understands his leverage. He understands his routes. He understands where I’m looking for him at the catch point, the depth. So, yeah (throwing over the next five weeks) is going to be a beneficial time. It’s going to be great. But we can go throw a lot of touchdowns right now. That guy’s ready.”

Where can Prescott and Pickens improve? Dak: “Every ball that I throw him gets completed. That's my standard. That’s his standard.”
