The Best Group of Receivers Since 2006

Vela mentioned this in one of his blogs...

"For the first time in his career, Dez Bryant is a certain option heading into a season. With Austin and Witten healthy again, the Cowboys may have their most potent receiving trio since Terrell Owens, Terry Glenn and Witten featured way back in 2006."

I hadn't really thought about it, but I think he's right.

I think its the deepest I've seen for quite awhile looking at the overall group.

This could be best offense in franchise history. Dez is going to have best season ever. 90 catches, 1700 yds and 20 TDs

Yeah, it is deep. Williams really is a talented guy and I like what Harris and Beasley have to offer as well.

If Williams plays up to his potential and Dez and Austin play well, it is going to be a dizzying display this offense puts on. Plus, with what I sincerely believe is going to be an improved running game and with Dunbar playing Charlie Garner for Callihan, I honestly expect a top flight offense.

Yet we are talking about the Cowboys running the ball more successfully this year behind that improved line. I like the balance and direction Garrett is leading this offense.

That group with Laurent Robinson was pretty formidable.

I would put this group ahead of the 2006 group, Owens and Glenn were no doubt a great one two punch, but both were at the tailend of their careers. The depth behind them was crayton and hurd, I think there is more upside with williams and beasley. Though have to say Crayton was always an undervalued player. Witten is a bit older, but is still one of the best tes in the league. Gotta like the Hanna Escobar combo better than Fasano.

points, points, points, points, points.

that's all that matters.

if they get 'em by throwing to the tackles, i won't care.

Poignant. And true.

This team could go places...

Should be way better. I'll go out on a limb and say in the top half of the league which is a fair piece to go.

Why people continue to put Beasley ahead of Harris just amazes me.

This. I'm hoping the change in playcallers helps with this as well.

I really hope Garrett's role is significantly diminished. We've seen what he is as an OC. Middle of the pack. Let him try being a HC.

 

[CyberB0b]

Let's see if:

Austin can stay healthy
Dez can be consistent
Williams lives up to the hype (1 catch?)


This team has a tendency of hyping up players.

I do think Harris is a better all around player, but Beasley brings a different dynamic to the offense that Harris cannot. Ive been impressed with how Beasley finds the open holes in the defense and the niche role he plays could be more valuable in certain packages.

He's white.

You're kidding right?
