As the Dallas Cowboys undergo a sweeping change in their coaching staff, the impact to the current roster remains to be seen. Some players will be helped and others hurt by the changes, so what about the intriguing tight end prospect Blake Jarwin? How will these changes affect him in 2020?

Jarwin dealt with a big surprise last offseason when Cowboys legend Jason Witten decided to return to the team after a year in retirement. After a hot end to the 2018 season, Blake was seen as a potential starting option going into the offseason.

But Witten’s return kept Jarwin in a minor role on the offense. Blake’s snap count total stayed relatively even at 38% compared to 35% in 2018.

Now there’s a new coaching regime in town. Mike McCarthy doesn’t have any loyalty to Jason Witten like Jason Garrett did; how could that change things for Blake Jarwin?



I think he will be used much more

Unless we sign Ebron or some other TE. I was fine with having Witten back, but was hoping we'd use him accordingly. Of course we fell right back to marching him out there all game every game.

I agree. I think he will have many more opportunities under McCarthy than he had last year.

I say we keep him, let Witten go, and draft another one. Some love Jarwin, some continue to think he’s not worth it (??) but he’s better than a lot of TE’s out there. Sure he isn’t Kelce, or Kittle, but he’s better than whoever the Falcons, Bucs, Lions, etc have. He has a lot of potential as well. Many say he’s one of the most athletic on the team. I say we give him a shot.

Yes he is. The former wide receiver is a weapon in the passing game. He may not be the best inline blocker but I'll take the trade-off. He has big play capability.

And it's been my impression that McCarthy and his offense's have placed more of a priority on 'big receiver' type TE's rather than physical blockers. That should help Jarwin's cause as well.

As long as he is used correctly (meaning TE2 instead of TE1), I still think Witten provides value. He's a player coach, he can still find soft spots in short range zones as well as anyone, he still has good hands. Out of Cooper, Gallup, Cobb, and Witten, Witten had the best catch percentage.

The problem in 2019 was JG insisting on Witten being the main guy and not allowing Jarwin more opportunities.

I guess I'm saying you cant blame the chess pieces if the chess player puts them in dumb positions.

I'd draft a TE, resign Jarwin, and leave it up to Witten if he wants to come back as a TE2/TE3.

As long as you get that "TE2/TE3" thing in writing? I'm down.

I'd prefer that to using a top 3 draft pick on the position.

I don't want to see them taking a TE before the fourth round. They have much bigger needs on defense that have to be addressed.

You take the best player available - if the TE is the best player in the second and third round, you take them. TE is a position of need, you don't go into the draft and come out thinking Witten will get a third wind and Jarwin is the next Kittle. You address it. You don't reach on defensive players just because.

Considering our new TE coach worked with Evan Ingram, who is also a just another big WR playing TE, I say Jarwin will get more opportunities and even be featured in certain situations.

Jarwin might be in a better position to prove he can be the TE1 if Witten is not around but I see him as more of a TE2.

You really think it's possible that this could "reach" for a defensive player in the first round?
