One of the more curious attempts to place a positive spin on the Cowboys’ salary dump of Amari Cooper in Cleveland has been the suggestion that it now opens the door for CeeDee Lamb to be the guy, to become Dak Prescott’s go-to receiver in 2022.
The cynical side of me would say that in order for Lamb to be that go-to receiver, he will have to park himself between the hash marks about four yards downfield directly in front of tight end Dalton Schultz. Putting that aside, it’s just interesting to me that it has been made to sound as though Lamb has been kept under wraps or that the loss of a four-time Pro Bowl receiver from the opposite side of the formation will elevate Lamb’s game.
Mostly what it will do is increase the amount of double teams that Lamb faces, at least until Michael Gallup gets up to full speed sometime during the regular season or until we see the finished product of this offense following free-agency and the draft.
