Dak Prescott said the Cowboys plan on “surprising a lot of people” this season. Not surprisingly La'el Collins Jersey , Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn’t one of those who will be surprised.

Jones said he wakes up every day feeling “better and better” about his third-year quarterback, Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The Cowboys expect to have running back Ezekiel Elliott for 16 games this season, assuming he stays healthy, and they have upgraded their offensive line with the second-round choice of Connor Williams, who will start at left guard.

But how will Prescott do with a revamped receiving corps that no longer includes leading wideout Dez Bryant and starting tight end Jason Witten? Allen Hurns, Deonte Thompson, Dalton Schultz and Tavon Austin are among the new faces Prescott will work with.

Jones, though, believes that the biggest addition is new receivers coach Sanjay Lal. Receiver Cole Beasley praised Lal last week, saying “it just feels like this is the first time I’m being taught how to actually run routes instead of just naturally doing them.”

“If you do right Myles Jack Jersey , Dak will do really right,” Jones said.

Translation: Receivers running precise routes will allow Prescott to go through his progressions and find the open receiver. It’s a reason Bryant no longer is in Dallas, and a reason the Cowboys haven’t committed big money to a No. 1 wideout.

CAROLINA PANTHERS (11-6)

OPEN CAMP: July 26, Wofford College, Spartanburg, South Carolina

LAST YEAR: Panthers enjoyed bounce-back season after failing to reach playoffs in 2017. Carolina lost three times to New Orleans, including wild-card playoffs. No deep threat, lengthy injury to TE Greg Olsen and poor pass protection doomed offense. Defense remained one of NFL’s best behind high MLB Luke Kuechly.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: Rookie WR D.J. Moore, WR Torrey Smith, WR Jarius Wright Brandin Cooks Jersey , RB C.J. Anderson, RB Kenjon Barner, G Jeremiah Sirles, DT Dontari Poe, rookie CB Donte Jackson, CB Ross Cockrell, S Da’Norris Searcy.

IMPORTANT LOSSES: G Andrew Norwell, RB Jonathan Stewart, DT Star Lotulelei, DE Charles Johnson Christian Covington Jersey , S Kurt Coleman, CB Daryl Worley, QB Derek Anderson.

CAMP NEEDS: Panthers need to adjust to three new coordinators: Norv Turner (offense), Eric Washington (defense) and Chase Blackburn (special teams). Turner’s relationship with QB Cam Newton critical to team’s success. Second-year RB Christian McCaffrey is featured back with Jonathan Stewart gone. Team expected to use more two tight end sets, play-action under Turner. Addition of WRs D.J. Moore, Torrey Smith and Jarius Wright should bolster passing game. Washington inherits defense looking to replace four starters (Lotulelei, Johnson, Coleman and Worley). Kuechly, DT Kawann Short, LB Thomas Davis Richard Dent Jersey , CB James Bradberry and pass-rushing tandem Julius Peppers and Mario Addison (11 sacks each) all return. GM Marty Hurney thrilled with second-round pick CB Donte Jackson, who’ll start.

EXPECTATIONS: Core of team that’s been to postseason four of past five seasons remains intact, but aging quickly. Peppers is 38, S Mike Adams 37, Davis 35, and C Ryan Kalil and Olsen are 33. Newton is 29. Plenty of pressure to win now under new owner David Tepper before window closes. Carolina should compete for NFC South title with New Orleans and Atlanta if offense improves.
