#Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer is usually quick to defend WR George Pickens when criticized for inconsistent effort. That didn’t seem to be the approach today. “GP is one of those guys where I don't ever see him really affected in terms of you know the emotion. Does he get the ball? Does he not get the ball? If these guys play a lot of snaps, I think part of it is us rotating those guys through. But he needs to understand that he impacts us in the running game as well. You know, he's got to do the same thing in the run game — picking up safeties and blocking corners — just like Javonte does, picking up blitzes so he can catch balls. That's part of the team-first mindset, and GP does understand that. And you know when he's going, they're going to play soft inside. When he's not going, the safety gets pretty good runs at our backs, and that's going to improve.”
