The criticism surrounding the Dallas Cowboys continues to ramp up, and this time it’s coming from one of the team’s legends.<\/p>\n

Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman ripped into the team’s wide receivers for their effort this season and he did not mince his words.<\/p>\n

Aikman made the comments during an appearance on 96.7 The Ticket.<\/p>\n

“I think the routes are terrible. I think they run terrible routes. And I’ve thought that beyond this year. I think CeeDee (Lamb) has got to improve in his route running,” Aikman said, via\u00a0Jon Machota of The Athletic. “As a quarterback, if you’re not certain where guys are going to be consistently, it’s hard to play the position.<\/p>\n

“That’s what I see. I see guys lazy coming off the line of scrimmage. Sometimes they run, usually if they do, it’s because they’re anticipating they’re going to get the football on that play, but if they’re not, they don’t. And it all ties together. I’m not impressed with that part of it.<\/p>\n

He also clarified that his thoughts are not any indication of what quarterback Dak Prescott is saying.<\/p>\n

“I just finished watching the Baltimore Ravens because I have them this week. You put on film of theirs and watch their receivers run routes and they come off the football, so does San Francisco’s and Green Bay’s and others.<\/p>\n
