FWST: James Hanna emerged thanks to Kyle Orton, says Cowboys' TE coach Wes Phillips
James Hanna began to deliver on the Cowboys’ investment in him late last season, and one person they can thank is backup quarterback Kyle Orton.
“People saw the end result where he started making plays, but we also saw when he was running scout team at the beginning of the year and Kyle Orton is on him every single day about how to practice, how to be a pro, how to work,” Phillips said Thursday in meeting reporters for the first time in his new job. “He really made some strides.”
“He really impressed us as far as his work ethic and how he went about his job,” Phillips said. “Learning how to finish, learning how to go about meetings and study and prepare, all those sort of things. He’s a very intelligent guy, and we’re looking forward to continuing his development.”
Thank you to all donated to the Jason Witten Camp drive!

I think Kyle Orton is a lot better QB then most on this board give him credit for.

Nice to see growth and development out of a TE besides Witten...

The way people keep talking about Hannah, you'd think the dude had 80 catches, not 11.
We heard this with Bennett and John Phillips. Hopefully, this time, it's for real.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

In order to have a chance to get 80 catches Hanna has to start and that's not happening with Witten on the team. It didn't happen for Bennett either but you saw when he got a chance that his numbers went up. So it's kind of hard for Phillips, Bennett and Hanna to shine when they don't have the opportunity to shine. |

I never heard anything like that when someone described Bennett.
This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

No one ever said THAT about Phillips either. You know what my point is, but feel free to take your shot.

One of the 2-3 best backups in the league and a solid pro. Just a great guy to have your team.
Hannah was just a rookie, so we should see some nice growth this year. I think he is potentially the most explosive TE that we've had in a long time, but there's a guy who get 90+ catches every year in front of him. |

I think he's one of the top five back-up QB's in the league. I feel comfortable with him coming in for Romo for a game or two. Hopefully the Oline wouldn't get him killed. |

He's a top 20 QB. Teams are just trying out younger players but he's a top guy. |

I dunno if he's a better QB than I think he is, but he's definitely a better leader/teacher than I ever gave him credit for. This is realy great to hear. This is a true team player.

Really? I think most of the board considers him to be one of the best backups in the NFL and is very happy with him. I don't really recall hearing a lot of other talk, but maybe I'm wrong? |

I like Orton. He's value doesn't just rest on his ability to play QB |
