Cowboys' George Pickens brushes off Brian Schottenheimer's critique, says team needs to improve

The Dallas Cowboys are struggling with a 2-4 record after failing to reach 20 points in consecutive losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer recently criticized wide receiver George Pickens for his lack of intensity as a run blocker, which the coach believes has hindered the team's ability to establish a balanced offensive attack.

Dallas currently ranks 31st in rushing production and utilizes the run on only 32.5 percent of their offensive snaps.

Pickens dismissed the individual critique, suggesting that the entire roster needs to improve collectively rather than focusing on one player. Teammate CeeDee Lamb defended Pickens, noting that the receiver remains focused and professional during daily preparations.

The Cowboys are currently 22nd in the league with 34 explosive plays, a significant drop from their performance during the previous season.
