Dak Prescott on Fights: Cowboys 'Nobody's Little Brother!'

Safety Jayron Kearse sees the recent camp fights as a testament to the Dallas Cowboys' attitude heading into 2023. And Dak Prescott agrees.

Dallas Cowboys leader Dak Prescott is adding his two cents to the fight-marred final big workout of training camp in Oxnard ... and he's not exactly against the scuffling.

"For me, to see the passion," Prescott said on Thursday. "It's a testament to what we've all put into this thing ... You're ready to unleash your passion."

Jayron Kearse has become a vocal leader for the Dallas defense, and he unleashed with words. After a fight headlined by Micah Parsons and Tyler Biadasz broke out - the second team fight of the day - the safety was adamant in his support for his defensive teammates.

“They came for us,” he began. “So we ain’t taking no (bleep) from nobody. All 32 teams. We ain’t taking no (bleep) from nobody.”

Clearly, the Cowboys offense is not exempt. In the iron-sharpens-iron aspect of training camp, fights are not uncommon. They typically are not signs of discord or bad blood. Fans may hold their breath in the immediate aftermath - especially when stars are involved - but it ultimately is not anything to worry about.

That is a point being echoed by Prescott, who was involved in one way - he had the wisdom to tug Micah Parsons out of the fray after the defensive star punched the helmeted head of Biadasz a couple of times.

Said Dak: "That's a credit to everything that we've really put into this team, and into both units — feeling like we're nobody's little brother. I told the offense the other day that I grew up being a little brother, and that's not happening anymore."

“Whether it’s our offense or the next offense,” Kearse continued. “We're trying to show we're the best in the business.”

Kearse, 29, saw his contract guaranteed for the 2023 season on Wednesday. He’ll make $4 million dollars before potentially entering free agency. He can now solely focus on making plays for a Dallas defense that led the league in turnovers in 2022. From his point of view, fans can expect more of the same, at least in part thanks to their toughness.

“It got spicy out here,” he said. “It’s going to get spicy out here. It’s going to get spicy on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, whenever the (bleep) we got to line up. That’s how we're going to come.”

Parsons thinks the whole thing is a positive for all involved, saying, “Hell yeah, I need that. I’m here to make them better. I push myself to the greater good and me pushing myself is only gonna make them better, at the end of the day.”

The Cowboys will have a chance to show that "spice'' and that "greater good'' on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks in the team’s second preseason game. Prescott will watch that game from the sideline ... but he'll do so with pride in his guys ... on both sides of the ball.

"We're family," Prescott said. "It's a pleasure to be able to practice with those guys, with that passion, but knowing you get to the locker room and you're on the same team, and we leave all of that on the field."
