Cowboys' Prescott excited to add Cooper, but admits WR isn't 'magic pill'

Dallas Cowboys' wide receivers have struggled to produce in 2018, so it's not surprising that quarterback Dak Prescott was excited when he discovered his team acquired Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders.

"I was like 'dang, that's sweet,'" Prescott said Wednesday, via Sports Day's Kate Hairopoulos. "When you add a player like that, he's explosive, and his talent speaks for himself. Everybody's excited. Guys on defense are excited, DBs are, everyone is. We just know what he can bring, he's another weapon."

"It will be fun," he added. "He's a guy that his talent speaks for himself, he's going to run good routes, he's going to get open. When you have a guy like that, it will just happen naturally."

Despite singing Cooper's praises, the former Offensive Rookie of the Year admitted it requires more than one player to turn an offense around.

"This isn't the magic pill," Prescott said. "One player isn't going to make all these errors that we've had go away. But we have to do a better job, and we're going to...find a way to play complementary football together. Just execution. When we start doing that and you add a player like Amari Cooper in there, then that's where this offense takes the next step."

Dallas currently ranks 29th in total offense and passing offense through seven weeks.
