Cowboys’ Prescott clicks quickly with new QB coach Kitna

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott’s new quarterbacks coach with the Dallas Cowboys has far more NFL starts and touchdown passes than either of his predecessors.

Oh, and Jon Kitna easily has the most interceptions as well.

“It’s just the fact that I can tell them, ‘I’ve already paid that cost for you. You don’t even need to look at the route when you get this coverage. I’ve already done that. I threw that pick. So go somewhere else,’” Kitna said. “I think there’s some respect for that.”

Experience aside, Kitna clicked quickly with Prescott by appealing to his desire to build on his first playoff victory, which came two years after the unheralded fourth-round pick became the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in what began as a fill-in role for the injured Tony Romo.
