Is Ferguson even a jag?

The tape is pretty bad

Yup. That's the main issue with him not his receiving. I think if he had the opportunity receiving he'd be the same 10 ypc guy he was in 2023. But he blocked better when he actually wasn't a diva

His blocking has generally been viewed as functional but inconsistent. We already knew that. His 8.1 yards per catch this year tells you exactly what his role has been. It's a short/intermediate, chain-moving routes rather than stretching the defense vertically. That's what the Cowboys ask of him and he plays that role well.

People just refuse to understand this. The guy does what they ask of him.

He's JAG to JAG-

Do they ask him to fumble all the time too?

The Jerry lists are going to be interesting when it finally over.

-The HOFers that never saw a NFC CG.
-The number of people extended early that were awful thereafter.
-Guys that were absolutely cooked but stole a last pay day.

Hes a fairly average guy

Should have picked LaPorta over Mazi Smith.

Maybe. Shotty told Dak not to throw to an open Pickens to win the game last week. What they do ask Fergeson to do, same as Witten. Run a couple yards and sit down, wait for the ball. Yall want everyone going long. He is their dump off in case of emergency, not their #1 target.

Well this is just sobering.

Well this is just sobering.

This is probably the biggest reason the run game is inconsistent at best. You need your TEs and WRs to at least be adequate as blockers, especially your TEs...

Thanks for sharing these.

Fergy puts in some shockingly bad effort in those last two clips, but I think #1 is the reason why. Ferguson's got zero power left in his legs. He comes in with a running start at Clowney, gets low, and Clowney still throws him aside like he's stuffing a freshman into a locker.

Fergy knows that if he takes these guys on square, he's probably going to get blown up. Easier to try and reach-block a guy, or release a little earlier into his route...
