Is anyone else happy with Kevin Ogletree's development?

[CowboyStar88]

Is anyone else happy with his development so far this season? He has become steady and reliable. I am so very thrilled with this kid and as the season moves on and with Witten in this "slump" I hope that Romo starts to settle in and use Kevin as his security blanket. I have noticed that they are trying to get Kevin down the field more as well. Also I found the irony that in game 3 last year he had issues where to line up, and in the 3rd game he was telling Miles where to line up. ( not dissing miles) just found it funny. This kid has really grown up and it makes me happy. I am sure it makes John Garrett happy as well since he has coached him since 05. Myself and a few others have stayed in his corner even when some wanted to throw him off the team. I will be thrilled with a 45 catch 5 td 700 yard season which I think he can manage. Keep up the good work Kevin. Stay humble and keep working hard.

I am surprised, but glad he finally arrived. I never thought I would say it, but he is a better receiving option than Witten for the time being.

I think that as far as our WRs go this year he has been the most consistent player and has outplayed Dez Bryant by a good margin and is right up there with Miles Austin as the best receiving threats for Romo this year. His routes have been crisp, he gets open and he doesn't drop the ball.

I'd really like to see him light up an opponent where he gets a big run and catch and see his confidence really to through the roof.

I only wish that Garrett called his number more and put Witten down to #4 receiving option behind the 3 WRs who are all playing at a much higher level. I also want Witten out of the middle where he clogs everything up. This offense is much better with the WRs running across it than with Witten running 5 yard outs. I was happy that he picked up the first down early in the game but that was his highlight.

We need to get Otree out there more and he needs to be a bigger part of our gameplan.

I really hope that instead of switching teams next year that we manage to re-sign him to a reasonable deal. He runs the best routes of any of our WRs and the light has just turned on for him. With his speed, routes, size and hands he has a pretty high ceiling. I've been waiting for this kid since his rookie preseason performance and it's been a long time coming.

You and I have been in his corner for a long time. I am with you I hope he becomes a bigger part of the game plan. You can see his confidence grow with each and every catch and game. I would also like to see Witten has the 4th option only because it would force Romo to push the ball down field and open up the underneath routes for Witten. Also I would like to get Harris and Hanna out there in some packages with Dez Kevin and Miles and Murray. That's a lot of speed and we could have some very favorable match ups.

Yes, it would be nice to get Hanna and Harris out there more as they bring some skills that the guys above them on the play chart don't have.

For Harris, he is a very slippery guy in RAC but also has a strong compact body so he very much has RB type skills once he has caught the ball. He would be great at running some of those bubble screens and could be very good at working over the middle and working out of the backfield as a receiving option.

For Hannah, he has an elite combination of size (6-5), strength, speed (4.48 in 40), explosion and agility. He can create matchup nightmares - too big for CBs, too big and too fast for most Safeties and too fast and agile for most LBs. Now given that you want to provide deep help against Miles and Dez who can snatch the ball away if left 1-on-1 against CBs deep down the field, Hanna should get some pretty favorable matchups for us. All it will take is him breaking one of those for defenses to really back up off of Miles and Dez so they can provide more help when he is in the game.

I know Garrett has been reluctant to put young guys in there at WR and TE but I really think these two can make major contributions and this offense has been struggling the past two weeks. It'd at least give the defense something to think about when they are in there which may take some starch out of the pass rush.

KO has been pretty good... He just needs to keep working hard and remember the routes!

Get out of my head!!!! Lol this is the thought process I wish Garrett would use. Bring in Hanna single back Murray run miles and Harris in both slot positions with Dez and Kevin on the outside and send Hanna up the seam. I just don't see how you can't create and take advantage of match up issues with that group on the field. Someone is bound to be open and make a play. What are you gonna do play a man over the top on Dez and risk single coverage on Miles or Kevin or Harris matched up on a safety? Or heck a big speedy TE matched up on a linebacker? Lets start getting the speed on the field get some 3 step drops to help the line out and get some yac!!!
