He usually starts slow. Tonight's game will help him going forward. Ferguson and Tolbert stepped up. We still need more speed. Brooks is slow. We can get everything brooms drinks p!us home run speed from flourniy. He's wasted snaps at this point.

I've been saying for weeks, Cowboys need to bring Tyron Billy-Johnson back. He has deep speed and was lighting it up with deep catches during training camp.

It’s about the time he stops whining when something bad happens. Not sure what he said to Dak, but Prescott isn’t having it, not even from Lamb.
Not sure what he said, but I agree he needs to keep his composure and grow up. But Dak had no business throwing the ball to him there. He was double covered. No angle to get him the ball.

They say he said "Jump ball, 4. Jump ball. I gotchu." If that's true, he wasn't mad, but Dak ignored him, so...

I think he was talking to one of the coaches... and was saying make it a jump ball basically. When you look at the angle though, I originally thought he was talking to Dak.
But, I think he was saying it to someone else, but making sure Dak heard it.

Dak threw for 352 yards, and the offense moved the ball pretty easily against the 2nd overall defense in football. Hopefully CeeDee is a big boy and understands what he got paid and now he can just pay his part- I doubt it though.

That’s what it looked like, but without the play in front of us, we can only speculate what Lamb was supposed to do on the route. Dak got some good looks during the game, but he threw into some tight windows as well, a common theme this season. Sure looked like Dak was expecting him to come back for the ball and at least be able to make a play on it, even if that play turned out to be breaking up a pick. They’ll work it out, though.

Agreed. I believe Dak forced it to CeeDee because CeeDee probably keeps complaining on wanting the football. Doesn't excuse Dak's decision to force it into double coverage though. They both need to fix this.

He gets plenty of looks until he loses his composure and checks it in. He had 130 catches last season....he and Dak need to work this out.
I think CD lamb needs to look inside his head and get this figured out. I never saw a player go so sideways because of money. Know how many people must be calling him for handouts. It was screw up the best player.

Fans should remember he's a WR........these players are divas. Their emotion and mindset are on a different level, more so than any other position on the team. What we are see with Lamb is no different from many other elite WRs when things aren't going their way. Dez, OBJ, Michael Irving, Chase, Diggs, and Cheeta had controversial relationships with their QB, coach and teams. In other words, they usually high maintenance player who requires excessive managing.

Here's a very good article by Brian Billick on managing OBJ temper tantrum in 2016. If you recall, Troy had the same issues with Michael Irving and Romo with Dez. My point is, I wouldn't take CeeDee emotional outburst too seriously........it's part of the package.

Odell Beckham Jr.'s antics: How to handle a diva wide receiver​

Published: Oct 19, 2016 at 04:35 AM


If you're a New York Giants fan, you've probably already spent too much time this season pondering Odell Beckham Jr.'s ongoing relationship with a kicking net. Two things are true: a) OBJ is a sublime talent who has the skills and work ethic to become one of the best wide receivers in the game; and b) his combustible nature has been a distraction to the team this season and feeds into the perception of highly skilled wide receivers as temperamental divas who need to be managed as much as coached.

I'm reminded of Mike Tomlin's saying: "I will tolerate you until I can replace you." He wasn't the first coach to utter those words, but they've never been truer than they are in today's NFL. While it is unlikely that Beckham's antics will escalate to the point of him being run out of town, it's not entirely unprecedented. Remember Terrell Owens? Chad Johnson? Both were terrific players; both were judged, at certain points in their respective careers, to be more trouble than they were worth.

I just hope Lamb isn't becoming an issue. Not skill-wise, but the guy needs to not meltdown or flip out when things aren't going the way he likes in a game.

Yeah, that level of dramatic pouting should be reserved for high school girls who show up to prom and see another girl in the same dress.

So apparently he told Dak to throw him a jump ball…. “Jump ball 4”….it sucks because now he says anything he’s a malcontent. I’m victim of it too especially with the pass Dak threw but Lamb really isn’t as bad as these other guys are he has fire but it’s not ODB bad.
