GMFB-Brandt: Witten will silence those who criticized his broadcasting in '18

[Redball Express]

Based on what? Linehands great play calling? Dak & the TE's were a factor 2nd half of the season. despite him

Based on the coaches decision to bring back Witten.

Obviously.

Ask them.

We don't make the decisions.

TE's are still developing, Witten is back only because he will be a mentor.

no. lets just hope hes used correctly this go around.

A $3.5 Mil mentor?

Hmm.

Whatever you have against Witten..

it is irrelevent.

No offense but I just have an opinion like you.

I believe him valuable you don't.

No biggie.

Carry on

 

[Captain-Crash]

check down charlie will be glad to have him back to boost his % from short passes

 

[cern]

Witten was never a mentor to any other te. Ergo, I doubt he will become one now. Just hope he doesn't become a progress stopper for Schultz or jarwin.

 

[ShiningStar]

KM better use Witten as a weapon and not a security blanket. Dak as to get over that and last year was good for that.

 

[Gremell12]

We just need someone who can be open in the red zone.

Yep. He may not get us more than 5 yards after any catch, but if he helps us with converting first downs and helps score touchdowns in the redzone, then we should be happy with his contribution.

 

[Captain-Crash]

witten should be awesome. he can run 6-7 yards and that's as far as dak's accuracy goes.

 

[Scotman]

Witten ran the 40 in 4.65 at 264 pounds during the combine in 2003. He wasn't a burner, but the guy wasn't slow.

Party on Garth!

I had no idea Witten as going to both play and call games this season. That’ll be fun to see.

NEWSFLSASH - this 2019.

 

[CyberB0b]

He's going to silence his critics by quitting and playing football? How does that make sense?

There won’t be 10 tight ends that are better even with him being 3 steps slower then he was in his prime

Hahaha, ok

 

[Scotman]

NEWSFLSASH - this 2019.

Yes...I was commenting about someone saying he was slow when he was a rookie. I completely understand that they time him in the 40 with a sundial now.

 

[Bullflop]

Witten had his time with broadcasting and to me, seemed relatively average and a bit bland, to be totally honest. As compared to Romo . . . well, we mercifully won't subject him to that comparison in due respect for his past contributions to the Cowboys. Sorry, but I cannot help but believe he'll be of value in contributing many first downs this year. He might conceivably afford a rookie TE and perhaps our youngsters, the necessary amount of time to develop into a TE worthy of comparison to himself in his younger days. Would that be so bad? I think not.

 

[jazzcat22]

I will just wait and see how he does in games. That is all anyone can really do. TC and PS games really won't show us much. Except how Moore may use him in his 5 plays in PS games as well as all the starters get.

 

[Jumbo075]

One has nothing to do with the other. He needs to silence the critics about his game on this forum. He was not good as a broadcaster, he could be league MVP and not change that.

They need to cut back on that guy's caffeine intake, he bounces in his seat like a kid at times and is far too animated.

Emmitt Smith was my all-time favorite Cowboys - more than Lilly or Staubach. But he was so bad as a broadcaster that seeing people spoof his broadcasting was belly-laugh funny. Emmitt's failure as a broadcaster never diminished my respect for him as a player or a person. It just wasn't his gift.
