Mac Engel: Wide receiver is where the Cowboys will really need to coach them up

BC-FBN-ENGEL-COLUMN:FT — sports (700 words)

OXNARD, Calif. — The biggest acquisition for Dak Prescott this offseason was an assistant coach.

Unless first-year wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal can turn water into beer, which if he can I will marry him, he can’t be expected to turn Allen Hurns or Terrance Williams into Antonio Brown or Julio Jones.

The high end for a position coach is that he may be able to dramatically affect no more than about one guy per team per season.

Thus far into training camp, the receiving corps for the Dallas Cowboys looks like what we all expected: A lot of No.
