But what does CeeDee&#8217;s return do for the offense?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Way more dangerous,&#8221; Pickens added. &#8220;Way more explosive too when you got other guys like CeeDee and Turp out there. It&#8217;s another component of explosiveness that you can&#8217;t really describe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Given the lack of production from Matt Eberflus&#8217; defense, the Cowboys will have to rely heavily on that offensive explosion to win games moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s not ideal, but at least Dallas has the weaponry to make every game a shootout.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George is ready for CeeDee&#8217;s return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":108382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
