Workers who exceed expectations often find themselves facing challenges, particularly in today’s NFL where running backs struggle against the odds.

Trey Lance is set to channel his inner Lamar Jackson during practice this week.

Mike McCarthy held a press conference on Wednesday as the Dallas Cowboys gear up to face the Baltimore Ravens.

Although it feels early in the season to label this game as a ‘must-win,’ it certainly carries significant weight for the Cowboys.

The task won’t be straightforward, especially for a defense that was exposed by the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.

After a disappointing 44-19 loss, they must now contend with reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson.

McCarthy shared some positive news, emphasizing that they have a secret weapon in Trey Lance to assist their preparation. “He’s dynamic, No. 1.

We feel confident in what Trey can provide, particularly with the scout team reps, while Cooper [Rush] will handle other responsibilities,” McCarthy stated. “Lamar is an incredibly dynamic player.

”This is indeed the same Trey Lance who struggled with five interceptions in the preseason finale.

However, McCarthy believes Lance’s role won’t involve boosting the defense’s spirits through turnovers, but rather utilizing his athleticism to replicate Jackson’s playing style.

The Cowboys will need every advantage they can muster as they look to regain their footing against a formidable opponent. The defense will have to regroup quickly and rise to the occasion if they hope to contain a player as explosive as Jackson.

As they prepare for this crucial matchup, the focus will be on adjusting strategies and building confidence to secure a much-needed victory.
