Ferguson attributes his success to working with Dak after practice

This guy has already become on my favorites. He's the type of bruiser we need more of.

 

[GMO415]

We need another TE just like him

I'm glad there wasn't too much of a drop off once Jason Witten retired. We saw a little bit of production from Dalton Schultz before he left to the Texans via free agency, but Jake Ferguson has been more complete by being good both in the pass and run blocking. This was barely Ferguson's 2nd year. Looking forward to his 3rd year in 2024.

I don't really ever recall Dallas taking advantage of a 2 TE system. Honestly, not very many NFL teams at all. I only recall Belichick with Gronk and Hernandez.

We have had the talent level. Sitting on the bench. We had Schultz with Witten. We had Hernandez with Schultz.

This really makes me wonder if it is all Schoonmaker or not.

With a lack of WR talent/depth you would think this would be a no brainer to explore.

He's just scratching the surface ........... He plays with a chip on his shoulder. It's safe to say he's locking down the starting TE position for the 5-6 years.

A player putting in work after practice if this were to happen more often than not, the mentality of the entire team would change. Players working and helping other players after practice was a common theme in the 90s. One can only hope that other players will see the benefit of putting in a little extra work.

I agree, but they need to figure out how to get Schoonmaker involved at the same time.

Teams are not built to defend 2 effective TE's in the passing game.

dang, the next thing you know he will be going on camping trips with dak, sort a like Sean Lee.

 

[Swagger]

Every NFL QB should have a football field in his back yard heck after all those Playoff/SB wins Dakko and his Disciples have had you figure it would be mandatory by now?????
P.S. Just another PR show..................oh did you hear the one where Dak saved a busload of children?

 

[cowboyed]

Credit Dak for working diligently with Ferguson. Mutual performance benefits arise. I don't think Ferguson has a chip on his shoulder. He has the pursuit of excellence in his mind.

That’s why they have a 2nd round in the draft.

 

[Runwildboys]

That’s why they have a 2nd round in the draft.

Well, if a TE with a knee injury, domestic violence issues, or off the charts measurables with "untapped talent" is available in the 2nd, we're getting him!

its not a base offense scheme, given the emphasis on down field passing and speedier players. but if you have two good TEs, then maybe 30% of the time, can give defenses some headache. but the emphasis is on two good TEs.

Imagine that. Putting in the work paying off. This is what Dak should be demanding with any pass catcher on the in season roster. Coaches don't get enough time with players on the field. Growth comes from all the extra time players put in.

Everything is great until he's out for the season with an injury!! Typical cowboys stud on the rise!

How hard is it doing simple dump off passes all day, I guess he and the WR's aren't doing much

What a nice feel good story.....

don't feel good at all!

I don't want to down play anyone willing to put in the work regardless how easy we think it is. Imagine if Dak and CD took the post season seriously enough to prepare for greenbay. This is the stuff that should be encouraged and really demanded out of the highly paid professionals.
