Now the No. 1 wideout, CeeDee Lamb ready to be 'that guy' for Dallas Cowboys
https://www.espn.com/blog/dallas-co...-lamb-ready-to-be-that-guy-for-dallas-cowboys
He better be ready
I just hope we use him more in crossing routes
Back in Dez days I never understood why we don’t use more crossing routes
Get the ball in the hands of playmakers on the run and let them do their thing
Maybe should have been the focus as our WR1 but he certainly wasn't treated as one, nor when he got the ball did he play like a WR1. Was this his fault, yup? Was it his fault Dak can't hit a second/third/fourth look target? Yup. Next year will be huge for this team, if he doesn't step up we will be looking at another draft where we have to take a WR in Rd 1.He was already the #1 here. Now he doesnt have to worry about the whiney Cooper having to get half his balls.

He wasn’t the 1 but I think cooper created his own problems in several ways. Whining was a part, attitude, effortHe was already the #1 here. Now he doesnt have to worry about the whiney Cooper having to get half his balls.
Lots of truth here. Good post.It's a difference between a team's lead No.1 WR ... and a top elite WR.
- The same perimeter and burden that was on Amari Cooper, the same will hold for Lamb.
He's flat gotta prove he can line up and beat the better coverage CBs in the NFL.
- i don't expect him to be Julio, Megatron or Randy Moss flat overwhelming, but
could he be an Issac Bruce, Reggie Wayne or even an AJ Brown ?
- Imo, i think the Cowboys overrate his play speed and run skills on certain things, he's not a jet sweep guy, and speed doesn't show up on
punt returns (a role we need to replace him as he's too invaluable)
and he's not a top end fast, over the top guy, such as Vikes Justin Jefferson.
But the body control and smoothness is there.
- Scheme, QB and supporting receiver cast is gonna have to help him all the more as well.
- i'm not as concerned with drops at this point, as those like Holt, Bruce and even Owens even had bouts with drops.
He's no T.O. or Irvin.
Irvin didn’t blow up until his 4th year.He's no T.O. or Irvin.
That’s exactly why he dropped so many. He needs to be just a little more patient.I have a gut feeling he'll STILL be dropping passes. He needs to stop taking his eyes off the ball.
