If schoon can develop it gives you options when Ferg becomes a FA. We tagged Schultz for a season because we didn’t have another option. The key is can he develop as a reciever and that’s yet to be seen. But he’s getting on the field and learning so hopefully he’s ends up being a good one
He is going to catch some more passes before the end of the season. I think they with throw him a deep ball before the season is over with.
I think you need less.
The big knock on Schoonmaker coming out of college was his receiving skills. He doesn’t appear to have very good hands. He’s had drops and has made mistakes with his routes. He’s going to have to improve a lot as a receiver to give us an option over Ferguson. I just don’t see Schoonmaker being here past his rookie deal. It wouldn’t surprise me if we attempt to trade him in the next couple of years like we did with Anthony Fasano. Fasano was a second round pick we traded after his second season. He had 28 receptions for just under 300 yards after his first two seasons. Schoonmaker isn’t even on pace for that. If he provides something as a blocker, he’ll be an asset. Fasano was a good blocker, but the Cowboys wanted more of a receiver, which is why they moved on from him. They wanted a good one-two punch at TE along with Witten.
Schoonmaker was a reach as a player and a reach of a position.
Recieving is the key. He’s a solid blocker already and will get better with a full off season and coaching. He wasn’t on my second round radar but hopefully they are smarter than me lol
I suspect that he will have 4 tds before the end of the season.
Hope so. Can’t have too many redzone targets. Generally guys have to learn blocking but he’s a solid blocker. Not just refine his route running
