Blake Jarwin, outjumped by a 6' guy?

[RonnieT24]

Some of the red zone issues still showed up again yesterday but one of the reasons I keep citing leaped out at us on the throw into the end zone in the third quarter. Dak lobbed one up really high and it's Jarwin against a DB who he has 6 inches in height and a foot in reach on and the DB wins the jump ball. Good lord. If that's Dez it's a "Git off me" touchdown. The Cowboys desperately need a legit red zone receiver to emerge if they're going to get were they wanna go. You're not always going to be able to finesse your way open in that compressed area if the defense drops 8.

If the ball had been a foot higher, it would've been all Mr. Jarwin.

Go Cowboys!

Defender was behind Jarwin and made a good play to jump out in front and get his hands on the ball. Sometimes you just got to tip your hat to the opposing player.

It was low and the DB jumped in front of him. He did not out jump him.

No it wouldn't because Jarwin never got up as high as the DB on that play..

So Muggsy Bogues was all of 5' 3" yet he could dunk (net height 10') so not sure the point as some guys have better leaping ability than others.

His pro day showed a 34.5 inch vertical leap. He may have lost a bit of that with the acl injury. Even so, every jump isn't equal, the pro day all he has to do is concentrate on the height of the jump and hitting a stationary measurer, game play is different, he may have thought the ball wasn't going to be so high, etc.

Let's see if it's a continuing thing or not...

LOL.. people see what they wanna see. Adderley's hands go up a foot higher than Jarwin's. But he didn't outjump him? Good lord people..

Jarwin clearly got out jumped. Are we really debating this? He looked like Superman.

Oh it was definitely a good play by Adderley.. but there is no question that a better leaper with that sort of size advantage goes up and takes that ball from him. I'm just concerned that we have a need for a red zone beast and we don't have one that I can see.

I’d like to see it again but I think there were other issues like him being off balance and it wasn’t just a pure jump ball from his POV.

Jarwin can jump out the gym. Maybe not as much after the injury, but Adderley just jumped in front and got higher. The ball needed to be higher anyways. People are saying Jarwin didn't get "out jumped" bc Jarwin didn't jump as high as he could he looked like he was just trying to position himself to catch the ball. Yeah Adderley jumped higher, but he also jumped in front of him.

I have not seen a replay so that was what I remember.

Jarwin looked like is momentum carried him backward and away from the ball, but Adderley has got some ups.

Julio Jones is 6' 3" with a 38.5" vertical....Jarwin is 6' 5" with a 34.5" vertical.....so basically based on measurements Jones would do no better in coming down with that pass.

I agree I dont think we have a "Gronk Type" redzone threat on this roster.
