Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy discussed the team's new 'Texas Coast' offense when visiting with the media on Wednesday at The Star and indicated that he wants Prescott to take ownership of it.

"I love the way we've challenged Dak mentally, and more importantly, I love the way he's attacked it," McCarthy said Wednesday. "I wouldn't say I didn't know it about him. I just think it's like all of us: You don't really know until you really stress and push. He's really handled these changes and adjustments, the input, because at the end of the day, the quarterback ... they need to own the offense.

"I have no interest in being known as some guru coach or a smart coach. I want smart, Hall of Fame-type quarterbacks," McCarthy continued. "The only way to get there is you've gotta make them own the offense. You see it, he has the personality, but it's just like anything. This is our first year of playing the way we want to play, and he's done a really good job of taking ownership of that and with that the mental challenges. He's knocked it out of the park."

Shan, RJ and Bobby played the audio and discussed McCarthy's comments. Plus, we hear from Dak Prescott and how he's feeling about changes to the scheme.
