I've never seen an entire fanbase(almost) woefully underrate a player as badly as most do Schultz. He wasn't elite of course, but he is a good solid TE and a decent blocker. If Fergie doesn't pan out, we will miss him. Luckily, it appears that Fergie will be good.
You are so right. Shultz was awesome against Tampa but all anyone remembers was that brain fart against San Francisco. I think he plays well for the Texans.
He is definitely already ‘Dalton-capable‘. I’m sure he’ll make a few rookie-esque mental mistakes but I agree with OP in that I saw a lot of national media types spell doom and gloom for us without Schultz, not understanding Ferguson’s potential because he wasn’t your typical facetime big player. Only us fans saw the frequent hints of his big play capability. And already convinced Schoo will be a solid depth provider, especially with the blocking. Not worried about the TEs or WRs at all.
Schultz had 2-3 blown blocking assignments, and I think they were at really bad times during the game. Newsflash, all players, no exceptions, have blown assignments.
No, he isn't. Not yet. I do believe he is a Schultz clone and will be fine, but we won't know until the test comes this season.
Agreed. That was a fan thing. Just as I think Ferguson is underrated by the national media, because all they know is Dalton, I think fans can overwatch the game and in an attempt to be the armchair coach, and generalize the player’s consistency just on a few facetime plays.
I’m not proclaiming Schoo as Mr. All Pro but I do think he’s shown enough in the preseason that he can play at this level and be at least solid depth. Basically, what Ferguson was to Dalton last year.
Agreed.
Olivia Newton John my childhood crush!and don't forget his awesome Olivia Newton-John sweat band. "come on lets get physical, just not when we need you to block, physical"
she was a hottie and that accent was killer
I still don’t understand why he didn’t take the contract the Cowboys offered him. It seemed like a good contract for him and the team. Our draft would have been much different if he signed that extension. Just strange……
I think Shoo has shown enough that he won’t be a bust, but yeah, would have been nice to continue the Schultz/Ferguson rotation, and spend that high draft pick on an improved offensive lineman, if there wasn’t enough money or talent to go higher than Edoga In free agency.
X millions.
Schoon is not an issue. It’s just that maybe the Cowboys would have drafted the top player on their board instead having to take a tight end.
Edoga has been injury prone from the start. Terrible signing. I have no idea why Jerry ignores when players are prone to injuries, but it's the gift that keeps on giving.
I still consider it a luxury pick w/ Fergie and Hendershot on board.
Maybe. I don’t think they like McKeon as much as the Broaddus says they do. We will see how they use those three(Ferguson, Hendershot, Schoonmaker) soon enough.
