Brian Schottenheimer stepped into the debate surrounding George Pickens and openly defended him. After the deleted message, the coach adopted a calm stance, refusing to escalate the controversy. “I’m going to judge George by his body of work, and his résumé shows he’s an elite player,” he said.
Schottenheimer made it clear that he saw the post and plans to speak with the receiver. He insisted that a single reaction online does not change his opinion. Pickens came off a quiet performance, producing just 37 yards and committing two penalties, which reduced his offensive value in a game where Dallas needed leadership without Lamb.

According to Essentiallysports report, Sherman intensified his criticism. He said the receiver “looked uninterested.” Later, he added a final response for those comparing achievements and playing resumes. “The kid hasn’t done enough to deserve a response from me,” he stated.

With irony, the former cornerback reminded everyone that he earned an All-Pro selection and reached the Super Bowl during his San Francisco stint, labeling that stretch as an active part of his athletic prime.
Meanwhile, Pickens continues to post relevant numbers. His season already surpasses 1,000 receiving yards, signaling strong production, even though his most recent showing did not match that output. The conversation quickly evolved into televised analysis, social-media debate and public scrutiny.
The focus now falls on his competitive reaction. Dallas will look for a response when facing Minnesota. The stage demands stability, leadership and performance without emotional impulses that create external noise.
