Anyone else think we need a new TE?

[Sarge]

I'm not trolling this is a serious question . I love witten , but let's face it he is not getting any separation anymore . Escobar seems like a bust and Hannah is a decent 2nd TE . I think we need a freakish athletic TE that can stretch the field . Witten's best days are gone .

I've been saying this about Witten for the past 3 years. He is still very good at getting open in zone coverage, but as soon as he catches the ball, he might as well just sit down. There is no YAC with him anymore. He was never a burner to begin with, now.... I almost ache watching him run. He looks stiff as a board.

There i

There is a reason he is barely playing . A 2nd round pick should be an immediate impact starter . No ifs or buts I'm tired of excuses .

That's unreasonable. Go back and look at the history of the draft. Some are immediate impact starters. Most aren't.

I know we talked about going more 2 TE this year, but I really think Escobar was drafted for the future, when Witten becomes too expensive, or just not good enough to keep around.

I think we need a couple, grab one in the 2nd and another in the 4th. I prefer slow, weak handed guys with the ability to look good while whiffing on blocks. Oh, a good touchdown dance would be a plus.

Witten is still very viable. But you can't win with just him, Dez, and Murray. Everyone else sucks pretty much.

Romo and Garrett are the combat zone problems, and Jones and the other misfit coaches in the booth are going to continue to help lose the war on a yearly basis.

Don't get me wrong, I love Romo. There's not many better....... but he will only have a chance for a super-bowl with another team. I don't know what it is...somethings just out of whack and has been for a long time.
Given that everything stays pretty much the same, they will never be successful.
It doesn't matter if you make the playoffs every year, or every other year... and always go at least 9-7 or better. If you dont win the last game of the season you have failed. Pretty simple

Is it really insane to expect a 2nd ROund pick to have an impact or is it more insane to be content with taking 2nd round TE busts over and over ? Have you read the definition of insane ? This organization is it . We are 133 and 133 since 1997 .

You said that a second rounder should be an immediate impact starter...not contributor.

Witt imo is fine, stop putting him on these stupid 5 yard out routes. Yes he is as stiff as a board but if we would hit these TE's down the seem more I think he is fine there. Escobar will be a good one imo as well, obviously not based off of this years production.

Nobody is more critical of the FO than me, but I am not ready to write off Escobar yet. It is true he couldnt block a JV player, but as a receiver he seems sure handed when he gets looks. The reality is Witten is getting his targets right now. Lets give it another year particularly if Witten gets cut in the off season.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

lol....the guy who basically carried the passing game last week is now not able to get seperation because our whole offense sucked last night? Some of our fans are just absolutely dumb.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Escobar was a terrible pick. Let him prove us all wrong. But at this point, he has shown absolutely no reason for optimism

After just 7 months?

He is Niether lol he is contributing with the Gatorade drinking .

By the time witten is 15 yards down field romo is sacked . I'm telling you watch the film he has no juice left downfield . It's hurting us espiecially when witten is the primary downfield . He isn't getting g separation and he can't make athletic plays .

 

[9of11]

Hard to get separation when 50% of your routes are 2 yard routes

And the O-line cant block anyone for more than two seconds...

 

[fifaguy]

we have the game changer... Escobar

All the problems this team has, particularly on defense and this is your concern?

And you've come to this conclusion by breaking down all 4 of his catches this season?

 

[panchucko]

If blocking is his problem then why don't they split him out if he is so good at receiving ?

Why ask why, why doesn't DEZ get put into motion to try and create mismatches. Why doesn't Dunbar get used on check downs try and get him into open space. The reasons are the coaches they seem to not trust anyone.

 

[maxdallasfan]

As I said in the other post, Escobar is too slow. Hanna is fast, same 40 time as Jimmy Graham has. Hanna should be running the routes that Witten is, but for some reason, he's not allowed to.

Witten only gets open when someone breaks a coverage or slips. Otherwise, he's blanketed.

 

[dragon_mikal]

Didn't we have this same discussion last year? Right before Witten had his best season as a Cowboy?

Of course you need to eventually find replacements for your star players but come on guys. Again?
