BEAUTY UNLIMITED
ROSE
This week’s Beauty Unlimited feature is Rose, and she is as beautiful as her name. Her very presence invites people who want to get closer to her, but she’s very careful about who she lets into her inner circle. With maturity that defies her years, Elizabeth is able to navigate her way through the most-deepest of conversa- tions, and she also knows how to remain humble and let others feel comfortable around her. She’s already enjoyed some success as a model, and is preparing for the next journey on her road to suc- cess. We wish Rose all the best and congratulate her for appearing as this week’s Beauty Unlimited feature.
Optimistic About
Separating From
Contract After
Season
Jarrett Stidham In
Despite
the break-
down in ne- gotiations
prior to the
season, Dak
Prescott is
clearly confi-
dent about
his future
with the Dallas Cowboys.
Prescott and Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones both agreed this week that they are optimistic about being able to work out a long- term contract for the quarter- back at the end of the 2020 season to prevent Prescott from reaching free agency.
Prescott said he believed the way the preseason negotia- tions ended would help Jones and his agent, Todd France, see “eye to eye” in future nego- tiations.
Patrick Mahomes Working On Adding Even More Throwing Styles
PATRICK MAHOMES
Patrick Mahomes has gained plenty of attention for some of his unorthodox throws during games, but it appears we may have a lot more to look forward to.
Mahomes has been work- ing on essentially pitching the ball to teammates during training camp thus far, and he suggested Sunday that he’s looking at other things that have worked for other quarter- backs and is trying to emulate them.
Mahomes is immensely talented and an incredible ath- lete. He has made ridiculous throws in games that few other quarterbacks, if any, could make. The fact that he’s look- ing to expand his repertoire should be very alarming news for opposing defenses.
QB Competition?
DAK PRESCOTT
The New England Patri- ots are holding an open competition between their three quarterbacks that is in all likelihood going to be won by either Cam New- ton or Jarrett Stidham, but the two may be trending in opposite directions early on in training camp.
Stidham had a brutal practice on Tuesday. The second-year QB threw three interceptions in just 11 pass attempts as he split reps evenly with Newton and Brian Hoyer. The three picks came in the span of five throws, and there was no indication that any of them were tipped balls.
One could argue that practice doesn’t mean much, but it is more important than ever this offseason. Quarterback competitions typically play out in presea- son games, but those have all been canceled. That means Patriots coach Bill
To His Game
CAM NEWTON
Belichick will have to choose a Week 1 starter based on training camp alone, so Stidham can’t have too many days like Tuesday if he wants to win the job. He looked more comfortable than Newton on Monday, but Belichick will want to see progression rather than regression.
Newton also threw an interception, but he com- pleted 9-of-12 passes with two drops.
