Mike Tannenbaum wants Jerry Jones to sign Beckham as he works his way back from a knee injury. There is a time and a place.
After the third practice of training camp, it became clear that CeeDee Lamb was very important to the Dallas Cowboys. He didn't do what he did on the field. He didn't do it.
Lamb did not participate in drills. He is a young man. He is in his third year. He doesn't have a history of injury.
Lamb said that he was perplexed. I was told I was done practicing. I wasn't sure what to do with myself. I am not accustomed to that.
According to personal history, players are more likely to get injured in the third or fourth practice of camp.
McCarthy said it was just a rep count. There was no physical presence there. It's important to trust the numbers and the gps. It was done by design.
The Cowboys decided to move on from Cooper because they believed he was ready to be the No. 1 wide receiver and because they believed Lamb was ready to be the No. 88 jersey.
According to multiple sources, Lamb's importance to the Cowboys' offense became even more important when James Washington broke his foot and will be out for six to 10 weeks. The Cowboys No. 2 receiver, Michael Gallup, is still recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, which will keep him out of the season opener.
Noah Brown is the only healthy receiver to catch a pass from the quarterback in a regular season game.
The move to the No. 1 role doesn't affect Lamb, who has been to the Pro Bowl in each of the last two years.
It is the work that the coaches and front office believe will catapult him into the top-tiers of NFL wide receiver.
After a day of red zone work, Lamb and Prescott spent extra time with each other to perfect the steps and ball placement they hope will become second nature when the season begins in September.
Lamb said that they've been doing that all through the summer. When you have a body in front of you, things are different. To make it happen in the game, you have to piece together a few nuances.
For a few days in July, Lamb, Tolbert, Shultz, and McKeon traveled to Miami to work out at the University of Miami. It was the first time Lamb had been involved in a pass-catching trip like that.
They got together at the home of the quarterback to work on the field. He was still recovering from an ankle injury.
The time in Miami wasphenomenal.
It builds character and it builds stacking better days from training camp if you have that experience with your quarterback.
To create a fantasy football league you want to play in, you need to choose your league size, score, and rules.
It's free to create your own league.
Lamb had a one-handed reception of a pass near the sideline. He and the receiver connected on five of the six passes. Three were in traffic with other people. They all went for a first down.
Lamb has made strides wherever he has gone.
"He loves to work, whether it be in the film room, whether it be out here on the field in drills or on his own." He is going to get better and his mentality can be followed by everyone.
McCarthy has been involved in this progression before. During his time with the Packers, he saw Donald Driver hand the No. 1 receiver role to Greg Jennings, who in turn handed it to Davante Adams.
McCarthy said that the light is brighter internally, as well as responsibility and opportunities he is given. It's very similar to how we do it here in Dallas. I don't think it's possible for a receiver to play inside and out. The defense can take it away if you only play one or the other.
"Cee Dee's experience of playing so much in the slot last year is only going to help him now that he is at flanker." We have to make more opportunities for him.
Lamb won't have the players around him to distract the attention from him. If the Cowboys add a high-profile receiver through free agency or a trade, I will not. Jerry Jones doesn't see any need to add a veteran receiver because of Washington's injury. The loss of Washington is significant because of how the Cowboys are constructed at receiver, but he had just 24 catches last year for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Lamb said that he would affect the game regardless of where he lines up. The attention will be on me and I am prepared for it. I don't think it changes anything for my game. It's just going to be a play.
Gallimore knows Lamb better than most on the Cowboys because he was with him at Oklahoma. They talked about their football dreams in their lockers.
Gallimore said that if he was thrown in the fire, he would come out on top. I know he's ready for this opportunity and I'm excited, but I'm not going to speak on it too much. He is a good guy. He is going to get it. He needs to bring a lot to the table. He's going to have something special this season. Absolutely.
The man has no doubts. The quarterback walked behind the scrum with a message as he addressed reporters for the first time.
Cee Dee is that guy.
If not Lamb then who?
