The Dallas Cowboys have been on the receiving end of some scathing criticism after their 8-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the 2018 NFL season opener. Needless to say, wide receiver Cole Beasley is fed up with it.
The doubt surrounding the Cowboys' talent on offense started long before the regular season. According to Clarence Hill of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Beasley had some blunt words for the critics:
He called critics of the Cowboys offense “all full of poop” and added that he still believes in his team offensively.
“There is no loss in confidence in all,” Beasley said. “Watching the tape there were plays out there to be made. It was maybe one guy on any given play didn’t do their job that was breaking everything down making it look worse than it was. We still had plenty of opportunities to move the rock. We will clean those things up and get better.”
It is easy for Beasley to speak on behalf of himself. He enjoyed a solid outing despite the struggles on offense after catching seven passes for 73 yards. He has managed to establish himself as a safety net for quarterback Dak Prescott early on. Unfortunately, he seems to be the only wideout Prescott is comfortable throwing to. The next most productive receiver on the day was Deonte Thompson who registered three catches for just 27 yards.
Dallas could not get running back Ezekiel Elliott going until late in the game. He finished with 69 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. That said, there is much to be concerned about for the Cowboys moving forward.
Regardless, it is clear that Beasley has already gotten fed up with the constant criticisms of the team's current personnel. Although he may be able to pull his own weight on offense, it will not be enough to spur any wins for the Cowboys.
