Why did the Cowboys pass CeeDee Lamb in the second and third quarters after getting off to such a fast start against the Dolphins? – Fred London/Morristown, Tennessee Nick Eatman: They asked Dak the same question after the game and he mentioned that it seemed like the Dolphins made some quick adjustments to their plan and tried to limit the ball to CeeDee.
But honestly, I always thought that’s why people like that appeared on the show. When you play every position and develop like them, it’s hard to take a receiver out of the game. Wouldn’t the Cowboys find a way to stop Tyreek Hill from making nine catches if that were the case? So I find it hard to believe that they completely excluded him from the program. Sometimes I think Dak trusts all the receivers so much that he just reads the ball and lets the coverage dictate his actions. I think in a game like this, where you have to score points, and after the first quarter, as we saw, the ball had to go more and more towards Lamb, and it wasn’t happening all the time. just not.Kurt: That’s probably the biggest question coming out of this loss in Miami, and rightfully so. Lamb had four catches for 93 yards in the first quarter alone, which was the seventh-highest first quarter total in franchise history. His efforts also included a 49-yard touchdown run that gave the Cowboys an early lead with a 9-yard run thrown in for good measure. And then… phew! Nothing for the next two quarters. I might have thought Miami had changed its media coverage after being burned so early and so often, but Lamb himself said they wouldn’t do anything different. So was Mike McCarthy just trying to keep the Dolphins off balance by bringing in more players? Didn’t Dak Prescott like the looks he got? Who knows? But as we’ve seen time and time again – and as confirmed by the fourth quarter of the same game – the Cowboys’ offense is better when Lamb gets the ball. If you don’t do it when you need a win in a big away game, it won’t do any good from then on. Or as Lamb himself said: “Very strange.”
