Bring Witten in as a mentor to this kid

 

[Carson]

Bring Coach in and let me speak to the young guys

Witten will teach him how to alienate other tight ends on the team

 

[fredp22]

??? so pick up a phone and call him or ask someone in management on the team how to reach out to him. dk why it reads like it would be a challenge for them to meet

 

[MarcusRock]

Didn't Romo and Dak both watch a lot of film on Brady?

 

[Risen Star]

He won't have to use slo-mo.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Hope he doesn't teach him the 4 yard stop, catch, drop and roll.

It's smart to watch a former big time player at your position for your new team, but I hope Schoon mixed some Kelce, Kittle...some other WCO TEs.

 

[Stash]

I have a very good feeling about Schoonmaker. He just strikes me as the kind of young man that will do anything asked of him without complaint and bust his tail doing it.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This is good.......sure Jason mentoring him on being the complete TE

 

[WTtoolman]

Can somebody pop in a tape of Travis Kelce highlights for him??

 

[CowboysToTheBone]

Hope he doesn't teach him the 4 yard stop, catch, drop and roll.

This is funnier than it should be to me. Well done

For sure, but I think part of it is Witts all around game. That is the FO goal with him. They want to rely on him in any situation.

I believe Schoon can improve his route running by watching Witt and get a lot better.

Gehlken on 105.3 said that the Cowboys think he will be an impact player right away. NFL teams around the league hold him in higher regard than media did and believe he's a quality balanced football player.

Great interview. Really enjoyed it. My main takeaway is his positive comments about Schoon and how he is thought of around the league.

Watch all the tip-toeing out of bounds and remember *not* to do that.

TEs have 50 lbs on the secondary and should be *looking* for contact.

It's a different era. Go watch Kelce, Kittle, or Gronk. We need you to move the chains not run a route that's 2 yards shirt of a first.

Any high school or college athlete that aspires to be a TE in the NFL would have to know who Jason Witten is. It would be nothing more than common sense for such a person to want to study Jason closely.

Jason Witten was not a blue chip, naturally gifted athlete. He became one of the best TE's in history as a result of hard work, dedication, and a commitment to perfecting his play. He was the master technician.

At the very least, Schoonmaker knows what to say in order to endear himself to Cowboy fans.

I believe he wants to be a great TE for the Cowboys. However, I'm, not convinced he's just going to walk in and take over the position. He's going to have to fight to earn his percentage of play time. The designated starter, the one that receives the most opportunity, could be any of the three young players. It will be fun to watch.
