CeeDee Lamb’s drop issues were on full display during the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 12 win over the Eagles. After opening the season with four drops against Philadelphia in Week 1, he struggled again on Sunday. He hauled in just 4 of 11 targets, including three passes that slip through his hands. The Pro Bowler showed frustration on the bench and departed the stadium without addressing the media. It was a decision that intensified scrutiny on him. Shan Shariff of 105. 3 The Fan criticized Lamb for avoiding the media, questioning his leadership and labeling him a “fake leader.” Thanks for the submission! “Right now, CeeDee Lamb is acting like a fake leader,” Shariff said on Monday. “He’s a fake leader. And I wanted to jump fully on board because he charms us and wins us over every year when we sit down with him in Oxnard. He’s not this team’s number one receiver right now. You better be damn sure Brian Schottenheimer, while drawing up the Chiefs game plan. 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) Unlock Free tips from our Experts Get Picks Now “Real leaders don’t act like this. Michael Jordan misses a big shot. Go watch the last dance. Go watch when MJ rims out against the Pacers or turns it over against Orlando. Head down, walks to the bench, and walks back out into the arena. Not hands up towards other people.” Shariff noted that although Lamb was angry, he seemed to center his outrage on other people instead of himself. He added that the receiver’s decision to avoid the media was a poor impression given all of his “whining” during the game. Lamb won’t have to wait long for redemption. He’ll have chance to bounce back on Thursday as Dallas hosts the Kansas City Chiefs. Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer reiterates his belief in CeeDee Lamb after Week 12 performance Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer doubled down on his belief in CeeDee Lamb after Sunday’s 24-21 win over the Eagles. He emphasized that one poor performance doesn’t change his confidence in the star receiver. “CeeDee’s an incredible player. He’s not a good player, an incredible player,” Schottenheimer told reporters. “I think the biggest thing for CeeDee is to know we love him, we trust him. The ball is going to keep coming his way. The big go-ball that he caught down the field was incredible.” As Lamb battled through a rough outing, it was offseason trade acquisition George Pickens who took control of the Cowboys’ passing game. He hauled in nine passes from nine targets for 146 yards and a score. Pickens has 67 catches for 1, 054 yards and eight scores this season. However, even with his impressive surge, Lamb is still projected to lead the receiving corps on Thanksgiving against Kansas City.
