CeeDee Lamb Had Classy Response to Troy Aikman's Claim About Cowboys WRs Being 'Lazy'
Lamb Says He Respects Aikman's Opinion
CeeDee Lamb was asked about Troy Aikman's recent comments about the Dallas Cowboys wide receivers being "lazy" and "not running routes." Lamb said he respects Aikman's opinion, but he disagrees with it.
"I think we're a hard-working group of guys," Lamb said. "We go out there and we compete every day. We want to be the best receivers in the league, and we're going to keep working until we get there."
Lamb Says He's Proud of What Cowboys WRs Accomplished in 2022
Lamb also said he's proud of what the Cowboys wide receivers accomplished in 2022. The Cowboys led the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns, and Lamb was a big part of that success. He finished the season with 1,102 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
"I think we showed what we could do this year," Lamb said. "We're a young group of guys, and we're only going to get better. I'm excited about the future of this offense."
Aikman's Comments Were Met with Criticism
Aikman's comments were met with criticism from some, who felt that he was being too harsh on the Cowboys wide receivers. However, Aikman stood by his comments, saying that he was simply stating his opinion.
"I'm not trying to bash anyone," Aikman said. "I'm just saying what I see. I think the Cowboys have some talented receivers, but I also think they need to be more consistent. They need to run their routes better and they need to make more plays."
Cowboys WRs Have Been Dealing with Injuries
It's worth noting that the Cowboys wide receivers have been dealing with injuries this season. Michael Gallup missed the first six games of the season with a calf injury, and James Washington missed the last four games of the season with a foot injury. Lamb has also been dealing with a foot injury, but he's played through it.
Despite the injuries, the Cowboys wide receivers have still been productive. Lamb has been the team's leading receiver, and Gallup and Washington have both made significant contributions. The Cowboys are hoping to get all of their wide receivers healthy for the playoffs.
Conclusion
The Cowboys wide receivers have been a topic of discussion all season long. Some have praised the group for their production, while others have criticized them for their inconsistency. Aikman's comments only added to the discussion, but Lamb's response was classy and professional. He defended his teammates and expressed his belief in their potential. The Cowboys wide receivers will have a chance to prove themselves in the playoffs, and they'll be looking to silence their critics.
