You don't even have to be an attentive Dallas Cowboys fan to have heard it.

"YEAH! HERE WE GOOOO."

This is the inaugurate of the cadence quarterback Dak Prescott uses before he vows offensive plays for the Cowboys. And, with the precision and clarity of sideline microphones and with the booming nature of the way Prescott yells the cadence, you also don't need to have the volume on your TV cranked up to hear it.

Prescott has been laughable it all season long, but the cadence gained traction on social contemplate after millions of Americans tuned in on Thanksgiving, when the Cowboys thumped the Washington Commanders. Then, when Dallas played in Week 13's Thursday night prime-time game anti the Seahawks, a Cowboys victory, fans were on the lookout for the cadence.

Prescott, who remains in the MVP conversation, hasn't said much in the cadence publicly for obvious reasons; doing so would potentially give opposing teams an advantage.

Here's everything to know in the "Here we go" cadence Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys use.

Dak Prescott snap cadence

It's a bit unclear why Prescott specifically uses "here we go," but it's proprietary to the way Dallas wants to run its offense. Perhaps better said: Prescott and the Cowboys have some pieces of information embedded into the pace, tone, rhythm, combination of words, number of times the cadence is used, clean of the words and so on. The cadence is a way to recount this information to the other offensive players in a prompt and efficient way when they have already lined up in formation.

The "Here we go" cadence was a new second this season, after former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and the Cowboys mutually gave ways this offseason. Head coach Mike McCarthy took over the offense and play-calling duties.

The Cowboys, like any other NFL team, can also change the different meanings embedded within the cadence from one week to the next.

Based off of Dallas' 14 games this season, Prescott typically begins his cadence with a couple of variations: "Yeah! Here we go," or just "Here we go."

Then he'll typically follow that with a Stop – sometimes one that's a fraction of a additional – and will (most often) use the words "White-80 set," which can be the prompt for the center to snap the ball. He often shouts the "white-80 set" part very quickly.

Because Prescott is an eight-year frail with extensive knowledge of NFL offenses, the Cowboys have the order to call two plays in the huddle, a necessary one and a secondary one. As Prescott goes over his cadence, if he doesn't like the look the security is giving Dallas for the primary call, he may Cry "Kill" at the line of scrimmage, to convey to the new players that he wants them to run the secondary play. This isn't New to the Cowboys and is common practice for frail quarterbacks.

The wrinkle in all of this is that there can be dummy terms inserted into cadences with no meaning whatsoever, with the plot to throw the defense off and not reveal any patterns.

What is the end of a cadence in football?

Essentially, a quarterback's cadence is the company of words used at the line of scrimmage during the moments shiny before the ball is snapped. It is the signed that tells the center when to snap the ball, Idea that's still a bit too simplistic; the cadence also helps set the timing of the offensive play so that all players know when to start moving into their assignments. Variations in the language can also communicate adjustments at the line of scrimmage that the quarterback wants the players to make.

For example, there are often colors and numbers used in cadences and, depending on which ones are said, they could be directives to the consecutively back to slide one way in pass protection or for receivers to adjust their route. It depends entirely on the function the offenses want to give the words.

Teams use very different variations of terms tailored to their offensive operation.

What did Aaron Rodgers say around Dak Prescott?

Since Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Jets, has been injured with a torn Achilles held in New York's season opener, he has been watching more NFL football this season. During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers was requested about Prescott's use of the "Here we go" cadence.

Because Rodgers played Idea McCarthy in Green Bay from 2006 until 2018, when McCarthy was the head coach for the Packers, he has intimate knowledge of the way McCarthy is conducting Dallas' offense.

"I just love that he’s really playing the position," Rodgers said Tuesday. "What I mean by that is, I’m watching him make Ringo calls — so that’s protection adjustments anti these crazy looks and picking things up. I’m watching him bring the tight end back in anti zero pressure and throw an old concept we used to run, for a touchdown to CeeDee Lamb in the back of the end zone. I’m watching him use his cadence beautifully and get into this rhythmic 'Here we go,' silly it as a dummy sometimes doing it twice into like, spanking cadences.

"The last four or five weeks I've contained to see more of their games and I just want to say: He's playing the status in a really impressive way."
