## Resource

Dallas Cowboys training camp looms, and the QB battle for backup duties is heating up. While Dak Prescott locks in as starter, Sam Howell edges out Joe Milton for the No. 2 spot—thanks to real starting experience, proven grit (including a gritty Eagles game), and the advantage of playing with elite talent. Milton’s got raw talent but lacks NFL reps (just 112 snaps). Howell’s game-time readiness and clutch instincts make him the ideal insurance policy. The Cowboys need reliability, and Howell’s got that—and he’s ready to prove it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
