00:00DallasCowboys.com has why the drop-off, the Cowboys explain Lamb's second-half stats.

00:08What's the reason for it?

00:10Well, you know, what they say is that the defensive coordinators are making their adjustments.

00:17They're adjusting.

00:18They're not letting it happen.

00:19They're stopping the bleeding, and that's opening up things for the other guys.

00:25In the Pittsburgh game, that's exactly what we saw, because he did have a nice start to

00:30things, and then after that, they kind of shut that down, and then Tolbert had a big

00:36game, of course, and nine different guys, I believe, caught a pass in that game, which

00:42is how you want to do it.

00:43You definitely want to spread the ball around, and everybody have confidence, and Dak having

00:47confidence in those guys, but there's no doubt about it.

00:51I mean, CD's got to be the guy from one to four.

00:53I mean, first quarter to fourth quarter, and a fifth quarter if needed.

00:57I mean, that's what they're paying for.

00:59That's the playmaker that he is.

01:01So I hear what they're saying, and yes, they're making adjustments, but I thought, I would

01:07have assumed teams were adjusting on Jerry Rice for his entire career, and they were

01:12still making plays, and Randy Moth, and Michael Irvin, and those guys, and CD last year.

01:17So I just think it's a combination of, yes, they're making some adjustments, but they've

01:23got to figure out how to counter those adjustments and still get him on the move, make him plays.

01:29I don't think they're using him in space enough.

01:32I don't think that they're stacking him on the line of scrimmage with other guys.

01:35They're putting him in motion enough.

01:37There's ways, I think, that they need to do to get him going even more than what we're

01:42seeing in the first half.
