Did Escobar Play?

[hendog]

Didn't see him on the inactives list but dont remember seeing him in the game. I did miss the first quarter.

 

[dwreck27]

He was a no show like our Defense was in the 2nd half...

They must have all had a sick madden tourney going on in the locker room

 

[Danger]

I think people need to understand that these WRs will not be properly utilized with a limited QB at the helm.

 

[CyberB0b]

He held a guy on the McFadden TD. Other than that, he was a ghost.

 

[vlad]

At this point I'm losing any hope that he will ever be anything...he's sold as a receiving TE and we have no outside threats...I am not sure what other conclusion to come to other than he can't play.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Like I said in the Street thread, you can't judge a receiver or TE with Weeden at QB. Weeden threw to Witten because he is Witten. He threw short passes to Beasley and the RBs. No one else really got a chance. Williams dropped a couple, but those were his only chances. Escobar was coming along with Romo at the helm. I'm afraid he may lose all confidence getting absolutely no targets at all.

He's a bum. Another wasted draft pick on a TE.

 

[jblaze2004]

thats why u dont waste second round draft picks on basically a blocking TE.

 

[Gameover]

He'll be good... in NE when he signs their on the cheap. We'll still have ol' slow poke tho!

He can't block. He's a vertical threat TE who can't get vertical.

Do any of our projects/cats really play? Dallas has to have some kind of secret initiation to allow them on the field and actually use them.

There are several roster spots being wasted on this team. Garrett seems reluctant to change and it takes a miracle or an injury for someone to get their chance.

Look at Dunbar, how long did this take?

Christine Michael is another example. He won't see the field either unless something drastically changes.

Lets look at Cassel. Does anyone really think he becomes the starter? They won't let a RB get in there because he isn't familiar with the offense, nevermind a QB taking over. He will need at least two years to learn the system according to some around there........

 

[Cowboyz88]

LOL…he's so underutilized it's crazy.

We'll cut him, to the delight of many here, then he'll go off and be serviceable (Fasano, Scott Chandler) or Pro Bowler (Bennett) and then, those same fans will lament his exit.

Jimmy Graham can't block either. Think he's had a pretty good career.

But Jimmy Graham has size and can catch the ball. Jimmy Graham is bigger, has better hands, and is more physical. He also runs better routes.

Escobar has size, athleticism, and good hands. His route running has improved. When he's gotten opportunities he's made plays.

He's had 22 receptions for 263 yards in 3 years. Graham had over 200 receptions for over 2500 yards and 25 touchdowns in his first 3 years. He isn't Jimmy Graham.

Did I say he was Graham? No, but Escobar definitely has the skills to be a productive TE in this league if we actually use him. Graham has gotten a lot more opportunities. This looks like another Marty B situation.

The problem is Escobar is soft. He will always be soft. Wasted pick.

 

[RS12]

Escobar is short to intermediate routes. They need someone who can loosen the D.

I agree and as I said in another thread is that as long as Weeden is QB this will continue until Romo returns no way the final score would've been 39-28 and the Cowboys held scoreless in the second half if Romo is out there case in point the Falcons didn't respect Weeden.
