Afrigather Each week, we take questions on X (Twitter) and Fb about Dallas Cowboys gamers and different points surrounding the workforce. So let’s get9 proper into it.
“One thing that’s not appeared proper for me this season is the Dak and CeeDee Lamb connection. Is there any points between them off the sphere?

Mike: As quickly as this query got here in it was despatched up the chain to employees over in Dallas. The reply was easy, don’t fear. The media tried to spin a story and make on the market’s some form of friction between the 2 gamers however the messages that got here again from employees contained in the constructing say that the pair are shut and there are not any points between them. Some creases do exists on the sphere primarily based on the actual fact Lamb wasn’t in camp, however you’ll be able to already see with every sport the chemistry is reforming.
Dana: The Dak & CeeDee points are strictly on the sphere and hopefully it’s only a matter of getting on the identical web page after Lamb missed all of coaching camp. The dwell broadcast inferred that there was some pressure between them after Prescott threw the ball to Lamb’s again shoulder leading to an INT. Nevertheless, Lamb and Prescott have refuted these claims, noting that Lamb was simply saying “Soar balls 4, Soar balls. I bought you”.
After Prescott signed his new extension, Lamb confirmed in an interview with Kay Adams that it was actually vital that they stayed collectively. They’ve a extremely good relationship, it’s only a matter of getting on the identical web page on Sundays.
With Prescott being clutch on the finish when it mattered, how do the Cowboys transfer ahead from immediately?

Mike: This offense has at all times had issues getting off to a superb begin. Going ahead it could be good to see Mike McCarthy get the offense right into a rhythm early, and which means some simple play calls with excessive charges of success. That may settle the offense early and provides them confidence which can repay as the sport develops.
Dana: There was a whole lot of good that got here from the last-minute win in Pittsburgh that this Cowboys workforce can benefit from shifting ahead. For one, Rico Dowdle appeared to seek out his footing within the operating sport. He was in a position to pressure some missed tackles and get some chunk performs, serving to the workforce in these lengthy drives within the second half. Jalen Tolbert additionally stepped as much as announce himself as one other menace on offense exterior of Lamb and Jake Ferguson. Defenses will now must put extra concentrate on Dowdle within the operating sport and Tolbert within the passing sport, probably releasing Lamb from so many double groups. The offense ought to open up much more if they’re able to construct off of these two payers stepping up.
Does anyone have any concept what’s occurring within the locker room?

Mike: Locker room dynamics is one thing that has followers asking questions. The issue is these questions get requested after main losses like towards New Orleans and Baltimore. For anybody who’s been in a locker room on a workforce after a serious loss realize it’s by no means a superb place to be and there’s loads of finger pointing and pessimism. The one actual option to get a damaging locker room again into good spirits is to get a tough fought victory, just like the one towards Pittsburgh. Get wins, locker room turns into happier, a happier locker room helps get extra wins.
Dana: When issues aren’t going completely on the sphere, lots of people are likely to go searching for the issue contained in the locker room, even when there isn’t one. I imagine that’s the case right here. This workforce is stuffed with opponents who care about successful video games and when issues aren’t all arising roses, powerful conversations should be had between teammates. Good teammates know the right way to handle these points collectively and transfer ahead.
