Saints coach Sean Payton doesnt expect D

[lovelystyle]

took the entire NFL by surprise last season. A fourth-round pick coming out of a spread-offense system at , Prescott was drafted as a developmental prospect behind incumbent starter . When Romo went down with yet another injury, though, Prescott seized control of  Michael Adkins II Jersey the job and blew the league away.The result was a Rookie of the Year campaign that saw the Cowboys quarterback complete 67.8 percent of his pa ses at 8.0 yards per attempt while throwing 23 touchdowns against only four interceptions. That gave him a 104.9 pa ser rating, one of the best for a rookie in history. He added 282 yards and six touchdowns on the ground, proving himself a dual threat. He also showed up in the playoffs, becoming the first rookie to  Kerwin Roach II Jersey throw for three scores in a postseason game while leading the Cowboys on a huge comeback that could have sent their game against the to overtime were it not for being an inhuman laser-thrower.When a player is that succe sful as a rookie, one of the things that often comes up is the idea of a sophomore slump. Count coach Sean Payton among those that doesnt see it happening for Prescott.   Im not even talking or discu sing sophomore slumps, Payton said during a radio appearance earlier this Johnathan Hankins Jersey  week, . Im looking at cutups and looking at improving and inserting some new thoughts and ideas. You shake his hand and you feel like hes a guy whos hard to get off his spot and thats going to serve him well throughout his career. I like the look in his eye. When the game starts and youre watching the game, you feel calm watching him play -- and thats a good trait because you trust him.While a handshake seems like a flimsy thing on which to base the idea of a player not experiencing a sophomore slump, there is certainly something to Paytons contention that Prescott inspires a calm feeling when watching him play. Thats something people noticed over and over during his rookie year -- his patience and calmne s in the pocket helped  Bryce Wolma Jersey avoid turnovers and create positive Dwayne Sutton Jersey  plays, even if they were short gains.  He was undoubtedly helped along by an elite offensive line, excellent weapons in , , and , and a star running back in fellow rookie , but all of those things will be there for him in Year 2, along with the scheme that put him in position to have succe s. Its of course po sible that he falters during his second season, but all the ingredients should be in place to let him build on what he did as a rookie.
