Has anyone discussed CeeDee’s injury last week? I know nobody wants to say much because of how great he’s been this season so far, but the version of CeeDee that has always bothered me showed up again against Tampa Bay.
When the Cowboys are struggling and it’s obvious they’re facing an uphill battle, CeeDee has a tendency to show that entitled, crybaby attitude you see from athletes who have mentally checked out. His body language was terrible from early in the game, and before you knew it, he was acting like his leg was about to fall off.
I love 88. One of my favs. There’s no questioning what he brings to this offense. But this team needs him to be a leader when things are going wrong just as much as when he’s putting up monster numbers in a Houston-type game. Probably even more.
There’s a big difference between being visibly frustrated like GP was when he banged his helmet, and hanging your head, sulking, and looking defeated. One shows frustration, the other sends the wrong message to everyone around you. As a leader, you can’t do that.
