Dallas Cowboys have a 3 headed monster at Tight End

Bill Parcells would be very, very happy with the end status!

I may be one of the few. But I am excited over our 3 TE's and what they can possibly do this season.
If they keep 4 TE's. McKeon, as they seemed to like him, and Fant may even have some potential. At least to sit and learn if need be until called upon.

TE > RB group.

Is there a team in the league that can't put together a 1 minute highlight reel of their top 3 TEs (including college highlights)?

Totally agree with you, JC!

If rookie Luke Schoonmaker can get past his recent case of plantar fasciitis in time for the regular season, I believe this young trio of Tight Ends are going to dominate and truly help elevate our Offense. Even if Schoonmaker is not able to be ready in time, having Ferguson, Hendershot and McKeon makes me feel very optimistic for our TE group!

There's some decent upside, and I like this group, but it's really not any different than 20-something other teams.

There's 3-4 difference-making TEs and groups #5-32 are basically all the same.

If they're in the NFL they probably have atleast had a few highlights from college . However, I'm still excited to see what this TE group can be.

I think they have 3 guys who can fill the role Schultz had with the team the last few years. Hope they can do more but i'll have to see it to believe it.

Barring injury, the team will keep only 3 TE.

Ferguson and Hendershot were on the team last year, so the only meaningful change in the TE roster is swapping out Schultz for Schoonmaker in a cost saving move.
Time will tell on that one...

 

[Jarntt]

or could be a disaster...
I'm guessing we most likely have fewer career receptions at the TE position than any other team. I'm optimistic, but stay tuned...

 

[Adreme]

More like the Cowboys have 3 sprouts and they are hoping one of them turns into a productive player. It is not the worst way to build a team but calling them monsters at this point seems like a stretch.

 

[CouchCoach]

The TE position is the least of my concerns with this offense. OL, RB, QB, WR.

Don't know about a three headed monster but I think it will be on of the top half TE groups.

I think "could" was a key word in the video title that was left out of the thread title. We have no idea of exactly what we've got at tight end at the moment. We've got potential with a little bit of evidence of ability to play on this level. We don't know to what degree that potential will be actualized.

I think they keep McKeon unless Luepke or Fant prove to be worth keeping as a fullback instead. McKeon got some playing time as a third tight end last year, especially when Schultz was sidelined.

I think people underrate this. Could be a disaster. I like their potential but for next season? Who knows if they will be ready.

As long as these guys aren't a David LeFluer, we'll be fine.

 

[KJJ]

To say we have a three headed monster at TE is going way overboard. We have three young unproven TEs. I’m just hoping one of them steps up and becomes a great player. However, the jury is out on all three of them.

 

[Havic]

I think they will be more than serviceable.

I agree that last TE spot might depend on Luepke. He has the potential to offer several things: run blocking, short yardage carries, pass protection, receiving, and special teams. That's a lot of "ifs", but there is the potential for Luepke to be on the field for quite a number of plays- much more than a 4th TE.

Hopeful conjecture of course!
