Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was interviewed by former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett for NBC’s “Football Night in America,” where he responded to criticism from franchise legend Troy Aikman.

Aikman had criticized the routes and effort the Cowboys pass catchers put in, specifically calling Lamb out for “lazy” routes while appearing on 96.7 FM the Ticket.

“I think they drive terrible routes and I also thought that after this year. I think CeeDee (Lamb) needs to improve his trajectory and as a quarterback it’s going to be hard to play that position if you’re not sure where the guys are going to be consistently. That’s what I see, guys lazily coming off the line of scrimmage,” Aikman said.

Lamb said he has listened to Aikman’s criticism and will use it as fuel as the season progresses.

“As a leader, I naturally absorb it, I use it as a building block. For example, if you say our routes are lazy, I personally consider that constructive criticism. So for me, I’m going to work, I’m a hard worker, so anything you say I don’t do, I’m going to show you I do,” Lamb said.

The All-Pro pass catcher also answered questions about his and Dak Prescott’s side conversations that have drawn attention all season.

“The frustration obviously comes from the competitive level of work we did all week,” Lamb said. “If (Prescott) has any frustration, he comes and tells me and vice versa. It’s not that we’re saying it isn’t something of that negative nature. It’s constructive criticism, it’s not me hitting him or bashing him, but let me help you and you help me.”

The connection between Lamb and Prescott hasn’t been as sharp this season as it has been in years past, but the Oklahoma product has still had success and has the 10th most receiving yards in the NFL as of Week 8.
