Why this is a big game for CeeDee Lamb as well as Gallup

[RustyBourneHorse]

As well as being a big game for Gallup, this is a potentially career defining match coming for CeeDee. This is a chance for CeeDee to show why he should be a number 1 WR and be the person that the Cowboys trust to take the markings that Coop usually gets. Let's see what he does on Sunday.

It's also why "trade Gallup" at the trade deadline was a bad idea. Next season is next season. WR depth is important, and we'll need it now.

This, and I was guilty of wanting him traded during the offseason and drafting a new one. THis is why that wasn't a good idea in all honesty. We need Gallup here.

We didn't miss Gallup and we won't miss Cooper....we have good depth at that position

That we do. I just think this game is a big one to CeeDee to show how he can perform sans Coop.

He'll be fine....Coop is a stud, but teams haven't been ignoring Lamb.

Oh no doubt there. Lucky we got the depth we do.

They should change the rules to make it more fair. Winning should depend on those attributes that we learn from the game like teamwork, commitment, overcoming adversity.......the outcome of a game shouldn't be determined by a random event that puts one team at a disadvantage.

Here is the new rule I would like to suggest.

If a player is out due to protocol then the corresponding player at that same position for the opponent should also be disqualified. That would make it fair to the teams and their fans.

If our kicker is out then their kicker must also be out. If our backup middle linebacker is out then their backup middle linebacker sits out.

Which means in this case............

Tyreek Hill would not be allowed to suit up.

Now, that's fair isn't it? Seems absolutely fair to me.

Yeah, I honestly believe that the WR’s will be fine with Lamb, Gallup, Wilson, and Brown. I don’t think they’ll miss a beat.

That offense is a machine that is so efficient that missing one guy won’t really effect it. It even functioned pretty well with Dak out.

With the balanced run/pass attack Moore has been running, there's only so many passes to go around anyway...

Life does not work that way and would be a ridiculous rule.

And unenforceable to boot...

The way life works is being changed, It's the dawn of a new era!

Nah, you're right, but ridiculous does seem to be trending up recently in the NFL.

 

[DogFace]

I’d still like Lamb in the slot for several plays. I’m not sure if Wilson has played or will play on the outside much.???

Has he?

 

[Starforever]

These are professional football players. They don't fret like the fans. Dallas has talented players to offset any deficiencies left by Cooper. Just catch the ball when thrown in your direction!

One player should not have this offense shook. They won in Minnesota without their starting QB. They are paid professional football players; they should play accordingly.

 

[baltcowboy]

The good news for Amari is that he gets a two week break to heal that hamstring and the other nagging injuries he has. Similar to Gregory, the calf injury keeps him off of his bulky knee.

 

[Jarntt]

A little overdramatic. CeeDee is clearly in the minds of opposing DCs with or without Cooper. If he plays great or struggles it's really just another week and doesn't foreshadow anything long term. A little bit of an issue for Gallup and to a lesser extent Wilson as the team may need to make a Gallup vs Cooper decision in the offseason which also impacts Wilson. Just saw from Patrick Denver got a 3 year deal worth a max of over $11M per. Gallup is better. We can't afford to give a big deal to Gallup and retain Cooper while we have a stud like CeeDee on the team in a cap world with our other weaknesses. Need to make the hard decisions somewhere...

Not really. Lamb has already shown that he IS the #1 WR. One week wont change that either way.

However I fully expect him to go off. Dak looks for him and he gets open.

Oh we’ll miss him. That’s a given. But, we do have sufficient depth and talent to be able to adjust. But make no mistake, KC is very glad that he’s out.

From a GM's standpoint, if you have a lot of good receivers, trading a WR for a player of need is good business, if all is well.
However, injuries pop up like weeds after a rainstorm. Can't have enough depth. Same for the Oline.
