After suffering a 28-20 defeat to the New York Giants in Week 1, the Dallas Cowboys found themselves falling short of expectations. Many had predicted a victory for the team, given the offseason hype surrounding them, especially their improved defense. However, coach Brian Schottenheimer has nothing to worry about in terms of wide receiver George Pickens' performance.
According to The Athletic’s Jon Machota, Schottenheimer reassured everyone that Pickens "will be just fine. He’s going to usually catch that ball going down the sideline, probably pull through it, then jump over people, spin, and then jump into the end zone." Despite Pickens' impressive breakout season last year, which included 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns, the 25-year-old wideout struggled to secure touches against the Giants' physical defense.
Schottenheimer acknowledged that the team was "pretty poor" overall, as reported by the Associated Press, and emphasized that they had a humbling experience. Looking ahead, Pickens will be eager to bounce back against the Washington Commanders in their Week 2 matchup at AT&T Stadium.
