Sure is nice having a TE who can block now.

 

[Mr_437]

That's a plus...gonna need that blocking vs the Jets.

Yes, I’m pretty amped and giddy over that. It’s a good thing…..

 

[stiletto]

Now if we can just get him to catch the ball, he'll be decent....

He is already paying dividends.

Not based on all those dropped passes I saw….

Nevermind that we run a lot of 2 and 3 TE sets.

No

Between him and Schoon we have the WCO blocking TE duties handled. As they keep making strides in the pass game we’ll have even more weaponry.

That's like saying having Amari Cooper makes drafting Cd Lamb a waste. Schoonmaker will get a ton of playing time as the season moves along.

Welcome, and good point.

Why? Seems like this offense will use multiple TEs frequently.

Jake Ferguson averages about 1 reception per game. The blocking is nice but it’s 2023 and it’s a passing league. There’s a reason the Cowboys reached for Schoonmaker.

I have a feeling the Jake Ferguson fans have a lot of overlap with the Zeke fans. People that don’t know which millennium we’re currently in.

I’m shocked at Fergusons and Hendershots drops.

They went to Wisconsin and Indiana! They should be used to crap weather!

Eagerness. They haven't shown that to date, so I'm not worried about the drops. I'm not sold on Hendershot long term thought. He's very "Eric Bjornson" to me.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I did notice Fergy jumping off the screen with his blocking. He is a very good receiver too, but the elements were obviously not the best. Same with Hendershot. I think we got three good TEs and combined all earn less than one third of Schultz salary. Not a bad deal in my book.

Cowboys run a lot of 12 sets. Plus Schoon brings in good receiving skills. Plus he is likely the most talented TE on the roster.

But hey, good job at derailing the thread.

you can't go by his previous numbers with schultz taking majority of the work in front of him. that's recency bias...look at what's happening today. He was targeted 7 times. He will get a lot of targets going into the season - the whole bengals roster couldn't even catch the ball in the same weather conditions i would cut him some slack. Target workload will be there going forward and he will produce because we won't have that type of weather week in and week out.
