Blunt take from Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb.
Frustration within the team was palpable, especially after owner and general manager Jerry Jones gave a sarcastic response to legitimate concerns about the blinding sunlight in his stadium, which cost the Cowboys what appeared to be a sure touchdown.
The receiver in question, CeeDee Lamb, was targeted ten times against the Eagles by quarterback Cooper Rush, but he only amassed 21 receiving yards. Rush is now the starter for the Cowboys following the season-ending injury to starter Dak Prescott.
Ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the in-state rival Houston Texans, Lamb is assuring fans he’s ready to put in the work necessary to correct those numbers and establish a rhythm with Rush, via DallasCowboys.com.
“The work is going to get done,” said Lamb. “And, with me, I take full responsibility in getting in sync with him. We’re going to ride this thing out through the rest of the season, so I have the most confidence in him. I don’t care what happened last week, and last week is last week.”
Lamb also stated that he feels bad about what happened to Prescott, who elected to undergo season-ending surgery to repair his injured hamstring.
“I hate that for him,” said Lamb. “He just had surgery and we pray for his speedy recovery. We’re all thinking about him. But as far as for us, we’ve got to go out there and compete for him as if he is there — as far as the competitive spirit, the leadership and everything he’s expecting. We’ve got to step up.”
The Cowboys and Texans will kick off on Sunday starting at 4:25 PM EST.
The Cowboys are rolling with Cooper Rush after the injury to Dak Prescott
The Cowboys have turned to Rush in the wake of Prescott’s injury, while also bringing back former backup Will Grier to the practice squad.
However, he did land on the Cowboys’ injury report with a neck ailment; however, he’s expected to be able to start on Sunday against the Texans.
