“As a leader, I openly accept this,” he said. NBC’s Jason Garrett. “You have to work. I use that as a building block. If you’re saying these outside routes are lazy, that kind of thing, let’s get out here every week. And I’ll show you my routes… You know what? Personally, I take that as constructive criticism. What we do is In this business world you can’t take everything personally.

“Especially the things we can control. So if we can, let’s get out here, work on it, and keep getting better. For me, I’ll work, I’m a hard worker. So everything you want, tell me I haven’t done it, I’ll show you that I did.”

“I think they run terrible routes,” the three-time Super Bowl champion said in an interview. 96.7 Ticket in Dallas. “And I’ve thought about that beyond this year. I think CeeDee needs to improve his route running. As a quarterback, it’s hard to play that position if you’re not sure where guys are going to be on a consistent basis. That’s what it is.” I understand.

“I see guys coming off the line of scrimmage lazily. Sometimes they run, usually if they run, it’s because they predict the football will be won on that play, but if they don’t run, they don’t run. And it’s all connected, I’m not impressed with that part at all.”
