C.D.
Lamb left the game; he's in concussion protocol after taking an absolutely nasty hit, Uh, in the course of this game, he was out of the game.
Now, obviously, for the Cowboys, they have George Pickens.
They have someone they believe can step up and be one for them over the course of the rest of the season.
It's not like he hasn't.
Had to do that already.
Uh, but certainly, when you think about it, They need to get offensive, having anything less than the best of your weapons is less A less than ideal situation as we come down the home stretch.
Number one, most important, is that CD be healthy, uh.
But this is certainly a blow to the Cowboys.
It was really scary.
It was a really scary scene.
It felt very reminiscent of Tua.
That's the most important thing.
You take care of yourself.
Especially with head injuries and concussions.
Uh, the NFL approaches that with a ton of sensitivity, as they should.
So, to your point, first and foremost, I'm hoping for the best for C.D.
Lamb.
I'm hoping he can get out soon.
There as soon as possible.
You know, Kaylee Hartung was saying on the broadcast last night that he was telling them, The medical team said, Hey, look, I want to go back out there.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I don't need any help.
I don't need any help.
And I do understand that feeling from C.D.
Lamb, who's such a huge part of this team, And, you know, he's a competitor.
He wants to go out there and win a game.
Knew it was kind of win-or-go-home.
I do understand that.
But it's, it'sI hate to see that for C.D.
Lamb as a person and as a player.
And then there's another side of that, that's the football side.
The Cowboys, as much as we want to write them off, and as much as I already mentally Have they still statistically alive, but That will be an uphill climb without CD Lamb.
Like you said, George Pickens can carry big Part of that load at times, and in games this season, George Pickens has been the Cowboys' One.
But that's what I think is so special about This Cowboys offense is, on any given night, can be a one, George Pickens can be the one.
So yes, you have George Pickens who can carry that load.
But when you don't have C.D.
Lamb out there to take attention away from the defense, That just makes life so much more difficult for George Pickens and for Dak Prescott.
