Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has dismissed criticisms from former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman regarding the team's wide receivers. Aikman claimed the receivers were running 'terrible routes' and specifically called out CeeDee Lamb for needing to improve his route running, contributing to Dak Prescott's difficulties. McCarthy countered these comments, stating that they hold no weight with him as he reviews all tapes and participates in practices and games. He acknowledged a need for improvement across all positions, not just the ones Aikman highlighted. Despite statistical evidence supporting Aikman's criticism, McCarthy emphasized the importance of focusing on internal assessments and improvements. The discourse highlights ongoing challenges for the Cowboys, who are struggling with a 3-3 record and coming off a significant loss to the Detroit Lions.
