Best TE Unit in Cowboys history?

[tyke1doe]

The best TE unit in Cowboys history?
We are SO prisoners of the moment.

I did like Ferguson' Lambeau Leap, though. Fergie executed three great moves (leap, hurdle and bull rush) all in the same play.

man...i'd give the nod to that early 80s group
billy joe dupree
doug cosbie
jay saldai

but it is a helluva 3 headed monster.
jake ferguson is doing what he did at wisconsin...make plays.
fun group.

 

[VaqueroTD]

I'll take a Novacek or Witten in his prime over a solid TE unit .

Only one of those guys has a ring. If the Boys make it all the way this year, I’ll take the teamwork over the stardom.

 

[Whyjerry]

Can we talk more about Ferguson? Guy looks like a steal.

 

[Cowboys5217]

The Cowboys have one of the richest traditions at TE of any franchise. So many great names and good players.

I agree that only in the Landry Years will you find a unit that can compete with that depth. Partly due to the salary cap. Nice to think Ferguson and Hendershot are both rookies and haven’t even touched their ceilings yet.

Witten wasn't the reason he never got a ring. Put Witten on those 90s teams and he wins one also.

yes.
i was very familiar with big jake in college.
but i haven't watched an indiana game since they had anthony thompson at rb.
hendershot has been a revelation to me.
2 excellent young players.

There have been bigger names as the starter, but I feel like you would be hard-pressed to find a TE unit with that much depth and plays that well together. In recent years, the Witten-Campbell tag team is about as close as I can recall. Witten-Bennett had potential but never seemed to sync like this unit.

Witten is a HOF player
He and a JAG would be a better combo
They are playing good and the young guys show some potential but best ever? Not even close at this point

I was in diapers

I've never actually seen the Cowboys in the NFC Championship Game... much less the Super Bowl. I'm starving more than you.

I was wearing diapers that day also but I'm kinda kinky that way I still like wearing them

Shout out to Jake Ferguson.

Guy hobbles off the field twice only to come back and do a Jay Novacek-like hurdle. On Thanksgiving too, just like Jay in 1995.

Cowboys fans in my age group remember.

Hendershot still has more potential than him.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Bottom line is that we are set at TE for the next few years.

 

[RomoIsGod]

Don’t know, but these young guys 87 and 89, are just goofy enough and good enough that I love watching them play.

swagger, moxie, it’s just infectious

Zeke called them Dumb and Dumbers and Marie Kate and Ashley.

That was a classic and the first time I’d seen anything like that in the NFL. Jay was awesome. Tall and lanky, rancher strong.

He was the modern day TE ahead of his time. Great memories and I still watch games from the 1990's.

 

[Cowpolk]

Wife says it makes me look like Baby Huey

 

[Einstein]

Probably the best group without a stud #1

 

[EPL0c0]

We have depth at key positions: TE, OL, DL, RB, even QB.

That will likely be important in a playoff run.

Yeah, quality depth is always a good thing. We could have 1 big time TE or 3-4 good enough TEs that get the job done. The rotation keeps them fresh... I'm good with that.

Can we at least wait until the team has accomplished something before we start declaring all-time greats? Some of you have such a short perspective on this franchise that you really shouldn't make any declarations.
