Who is fantasizing about slot receiver options?

we have three top WR.

What “options” are even relevant here?

I imagine your posting process as something along the lines of this

You just close your eyes and your fingers begin typing while your mind goes on a stream of consciousness ayahuasca fantasy-realm journey while you have 1078 regular season Cowboy games playing an old reel to reel as your “inspiration”

You guys should stop giving this guy free material and make him actually do his own research and work for it. @Reality why do we let this guy pimp members for his own work? He comes in here drops a couple dumb thread headlines and that's it. He doesn't comment on any other forum threads but his own. He's a leech.

I cant wait to see some bunch formations. And no te formations. I hope this coach doesnt leave these Awful tes on the field for every passing down like we did with the ghost of witten and Swaim. Barf Barf Barf some more.
I agree.

No more playing WR and TE by committee.

TE has to be sorted out more. Jarwin is simply not a blocker. When he enters the game..its a 'tell' it's a pass. Zeke will suffer in the run game with Jarwin.

Schultz maybe the answer. I don't know yet.

Those are topics for other threads.

Again, how can you praise Jerod Cook, and condemn Blake Jarwin even though Jarwin's first 2 seasons were significantly better than Cook's first 2 seasons? You stupidly ignore facts in favor of a fantasy football viewpoint where you apparently must be deluded into thinking a 4th WR in lieu of a TE is going to push 1,000 yards and 10 TDs.

Im pushing substitution and rotation for the down and distance. Again Cook had deep ball and 50/50 ball skills. Jarwin doesnt have those skillsets.

I begged to pick up cook because i thought he would be better on a better team w a better qb. Going from grass to turf.

Ive seen Jarwins skillsets. Hes a checkdowner. The top tes have 50/ 50 ball and deep ball skillsets.

Quit throwing empty stats at me. Im judging both tes by skillsets not stats

I told ya 6 years ago we couldnt win with our style of tes. They dont catch deep balls or score. How can you justify our te style in the red zone or 3rd and 15? Thats why they aren't everydown players imo. How many times we gotta watch these tes not make these plays.
Cook actually made some of these down and distance plays. Cook is a top 10 te on paper.

CD can rotate in at the slot or outside WR positions as can Cooper. But we also have Pollard and Jarwin who can run some inside routes as well.

i think we are just guessing on Jarwins stats
but i am hopeful
our three WRs will play together 70% of snaps. based on match ups and some other variables, its only smart that they will all exchange positions.

Yes, Genius. Make him a PRer. Or a kicker.
Are you really this addled? I clearly said he was drafted as a receiver and could play slot or outside, and you sarcastically respond as if I had said he could play any position on the team. Sarcasm borne from an inability to comprehend a simple sentence has the opposite effect you intended - it makes you look ridiculous.

Our te core hasnt pushed 10 tds in my kids lifetime lol. The whole te core pushes about 4-5 tds a year. 2 years ago swaim had 1 td all year and Jarwin had 3 in a meaningless last game against the giants.

When the production comes is just as important as the production. Lol. If Jarwin goes all year without a td and we lose every game and then he has 5 tds in a meaningless last game then im gonna see his production as trash because he went 15 games scoreless.

If were losing the game and he cant win ir for us then wt f is he playing those snaps for? I hope the Undrafted underdog morphs into a Great te and can generate some winning production. Winning stats. If not I have a problem w him playing EVERY PASSING SNAP!

Its the 9th inning and your behind by 2 runs and the bases are loaded and your pitcher is up to bat but hes not very good.

Are you gonna let your pitcher bat or go for the win w a better batter with some winning skillsets? Im bringing in a guy who can get the job done. To win that game. Im not losing that game to appease the pitcher. Lol. Im bringing in some firepower.

Austin and Pollard are more firepower than Jarwin imo when the game is hinging on a big play. Same as 82 for 6+ years. Lol.

To be a starting everydown skilled player ya have to be able to make winning plays consistently. If you continuously fall short of winning when your te is playing but not producing then Substitution is vital. A guaranteed loser down the stretch is the history of our te core.

Those good tes win 3-4 games a year for their teams and playoff games also. Our tes go 6 years without winning a game.

Do you comprehend that on paper their stats may look productive but the team is LOSING because the production is not CONSISTENT OR WHEN IT MATTERS IN RELATION TO WINNING

As great as our #82 Hof te was he couldnt win the game down the stretch. His stats are still Awesome but winning shouldnt be sacrificed for 1 guy

Not a matter of good and evil, just a matter of basic reading comprehension. It was a short sentence with very simple content - hard to figure how you can't grasp it.

How many #4 WRs have pushed 10 TDs in your kids lifetime? And how many can both catch passes and block on the O-Line? And how many TE's on any team get 10 TD's? It's not the norm.

Sorry fantasy football guy, you are still running from facts and refusing to answer simple questions and displaying no knowledge of football.

I mean how old is your kid? The Cowboys did it in 2013.

10 touchdowns for TEs is high anyway. Travis Kelce has only done it once, Goerge Kittle has never had more than 5. Teams having 10 TD receptions by TEs is the anomaly.

From the stand point of getting open..

is it easier as a wideouts to be split wide or stay inside?

If we assume CeeDee is going to be a slot guy..

yet he is a WR in college..

which is better?

:eek:

And some seem to think Amari will canabalize a defense if he comes from the slot.

I played TE and LBed in HS but was slow as pancake syrup at both positions.

So what is it at the pro level?

For Dak, it's a quicker throw to the slot which I think he is much better at than the downfield timing throws.

What think you?

:huh:
I'd begin by saying that playing in the slot usually does not command the top corner on the opposing defense. If you put Amari in the slot and he gets the top corner shadowing him, then Gallup or CeeDee are facing 2nd/3rd corners. Kellen Moore is going to have a lot of fun this year.

How many did Gronk and Hernandez get.? It not always about the tds Its about whether the player contributed in a consistent winning fashion. Our tes never do. They got 3 tds and zero gamechanging plays. Kittle makes game changing game winning plays though he may not always have the sauce to score.
My kids are 21 and 19. Witten was here 15 years and There is 1 that 1 playoff td #82 scored against gb when we lost and thats all they got that I know of. The receiving core has always had to carry these tes. They arent competitive when it matters. They cant win those 50/50 ball skills. Had we not had Dez Bryant the Cowboys woulda been trash. Our tes are feet on the ground flat footed receivers. . They are drawing the worst coverage but yeah every now again even a blind squirrel get a nut. That is the Identity of our TE Core. They just arent great enough to lead a winning team just a 8-8 team.

Not enough nuts to play that every passing down role they suck at cuz they got no big play in them. No winning identity.

I was hoping tavon austin as the 4th wr or pollard rotating in the 4th spot. But if i could have had a te named Jared instead of Jarwin then I with you all the way to the playoffs and beyond.

Everybody is talking that CD Lamb gallop and cooper will be everydown receivers. That goes against everything theve done on 10 years . BEASELY HAD THE HIGHEST OPEN RATE IN THE LEAGUE AS A SPOT PLAYER AND NEVER GOT INTEGRATED AS AN EVERYDOWN PLAYER.

Rogers also argued against Beasely being a 3rd everydown wr over witten and Hanna. Lmao. That guy that has 2 catches in 5 years. Beasely shoulda been a starting everydown wr but got spot PLAYED lol.

Now we assume Lamb is gonna overtake jarwin a a full time player. But that would undermine Everything the Cowboys were doing with Beasely. Lol.

Is Lamb gonna be an everydown wr or Jarwin gonna be an everydown te? I think jarwin should get bumped down but the cowboys love their 12 and 11 personell. Lol.

That has never had the talented te to beat anybody w that containment style coverage they draw if they even get coverage. Lol

Your obsession with me is ... embarrassing.
Quit stalking.
Or do I need a safe place?

Im all up for a guy contributing. As long as its in a winning fashion. If hes not winning 2-3 games for us that is as good as a loss. We have 3 tough opponents right out of the gate so this te core should fall flat on their face right from the beginning. Not score 2 tds in 2 games and flatline lmao

Peeps said #82 was serviceable that we were ok at te. Well i wasnt one of them and we managed -8-8 is all . Cook woulda did well here and earned his roster spot and $$$
