Twitter: Troy Aikman on Cee Dee Lamb

[Hawkeye0202]

Interesting....where are the coaches, pounding this over and over. One word......accountability. Some players need hard coaching....

Love it. Romo mentioned the soft coverage many times during the broadcast. Said something like OC's tend to overthink things.

Sounds like we need an oc that wants to get back to basics. Either moore sees this and understands or we get to bring in somebody who does. If I am McCarthy I’m lobbying to be able to fire Moore and if that doesn’t happen I keep a tight leash on him and possibly take over olaycalling full time. Now that I’m McCarthy am I smart enough to run my offense that way

Dak was terrified to throw the ball though Troy. That’s the difference.

He can’t let go of the ball until he sees a WR wide open.

 

[Shane612]

True.
I think he's talking about "taking what the defense is giving you.".
A good receiver can take a 7 yard pass, and turn it into a long gainer. CeeDee is a good enough receiver to do it.

Troy has been feisty lately. He is pissed the Fox did not get this game.

When the DB has fallen down usually.....

I love Troy. The last great Cowboys QB. What he says matters. This is an indictment on Offense and of Dak of course.

Dak sees 1 on 1 coverage and looks the other way.

 

[JPM]

Ok Troy should be the OC next year. Done and done.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Aikman is absolutely on point.

It’s mind-numbing we can’t get our top receivers 8-10 targets a game.

 

[visionary]

Moore and Philbin need to be gone

I only hope that Jerry and MM are hoping Moore gets hired as HC somewhere

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I don’t know about you but I loved it when Dak plays hero ball and throws a bomb into double coverage to Wilson.

This is so much of a truth bomb. He cannot throw his WRs open and is late so often with his passes.

Per the Dak-stans on this site, we run a lot of comeback routes. I thought the scheme was the problem.

I thought Lamb sucks.

So is it Moore’s fault that Dak isn’t throwing against single coverage when he sees it?

Is Aikman saying Dak’s stats are inflated because e got WRs that can win their one on one matchups all day long?

I mean isn’t that what Amari said? Throw me the damn ball, because I got opportunities?

Isn’t that what Dez said, but he was declared a cancer. I though Dak’s ‘shining glory’ was in the fact he doesn’t ‘force the ball’ to a single WR and he didn’t need a number 1 And he ‘takes what the defense gives him”…

"I don't know if any team in the league necessarily needs a No. 1 receiver," Prescott said via Pro Football Talk. "It's about getting the ball out, spreading the ball around, keeping the defense on its toes."

How many excuses you going to make for your ‘elite’ QB?

 

[pitt33]

I love Troy. The last great Cowboys QB.

You got that right.

 

[Acheman08]

Moore is just not experienced enough. Garrett wasnt either when he was OC. Linehan was meh.

How can you blame Moore? He's calling plays that get guys open. He can't throw it to them too.
