Signed by Cowboys Lunda Wells being brought in as new TE coach

[Verdict]

I like the hire for 1 simple reason, it is McCarthy hire. I want McCarthy to hire the people he wants and trust. Not who Jerry wants, not who fans want. McCarthy is HC it is his choice and his alone and that I like very much.

It is refreshing.

 

[Verdict]

I assume this is meant for me but I have no idea what you talking about but either way, we'll see what Mike decides, which is fine by me.

It was a general statement.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Do not think he is coming to teach Witten anything.

It's the rest of the TEs who need a new approach.

Think about how much Rodgers uses his TEs to make big plays in their offense. They generally are receivers..not run blockers.

Look for a high draft pick on another TE in April. Jay Novechek was never a blocker but he was one of Aikman's main weapons.

McCarthy needs a pass catcher to fix things and stop running the position by committee.

Actually I was just looking the Packer's use of receivers during Mike's tenure ( 2006 -2018 ) and was surprised how little he used the TE. Here, check it out for yourself......... note of Donald Driver and Jordy Nelson also

[Hawkeye0202]

Figured it out. We are bringing guys in who are like MM. Big guys who are as big as the players.

Hold up, is this the same guy? What's going on here........lol

I don't know that the TE coach for the Giants is the reason they've sucked for a decade.

The Giants offensive line has sucked and been one of the worst for several years and he was their assistant coach for 5 of them.

 

[dogberry]

How do Witten’s hands compare to our other receivers?

Interesting. Do a google search and it comes up with a ton of pics of a big guy. Maybe he lost or gained a bunch of weight?

Got ya.

Yes..

I see what you are seeing.

Maybe its just magnified to me becuz he continually drills us in our games against him.

I am sure that is becuz the defense under Richard and others never really disguised anything. Therefore easy to defeat.

Not good.

So many times other teams mentioned how much they were easy to read our defense as well as the offense.

Thank goodness I think MM knows this and will do something to correct it.

Fingers and toes crossed.

If he can still get it done let him play limited snaps. Limiting his snaps will help get our other TE quality snaps. Witten is a dinosaur but can still be useful.

Let Witt pass protect while Jarwin runs a quick cross in the flat from a two TE set!!!

 

[America's Cowboy]

He is actually a year younger than Jason Witten. For those who care ;


As coach:

• LSU (2008–2009)
  Offensive line assistant
• LSU (2010–2011)
  Assistant special teams coach/assistant to the head coach
• New York Giants (2012)
  Offensive assistant
• New York Giants (2013–2017)
  Assistant offensive line coach
• New York Giants (2018-2019)
  Tight ends coach
• Dallas Cowboys (2020-present)
  Tight ends coach

(In bold ^^^): Good to hear new TEs coach, Lunda Wells, has some experience coaching the Oline. Hopefully, this will help our TEs become more physical and better blockers.

I don't know that the TE coach for the Giants is the reason they've sucked for a decade.

No kidding. Their TEs actually played pretty well.

 

[baltcowboy]

Thank God it isnt Witten

Does that mean he might return as a player?​

 

[Doomsday101]

It is refreshing.

I agree. Just from a loyalty side of it. HC needs to know his staff are his guys. It is not a knock on any coaches we had like Kitna or Richard or any other assistant coach, it is the simple fact as HC you want guys you know and trust to carry out what you want and expect.

 

[D4KADON]

The Jason Witten sudden hate thing is just perplexing to me. Dude played more than a whole decade here and some of you are no better than Eagles fans.

 

[willia451]

............and some of you are no better than Eagles fans.

That's because some of the posters out here ARE Eagles fans. Or Steelers. Or Rams. And God only knows what other kinds of heathens and trolls. They delight in torturing us.

But for the real Cowboys fans. I think the feeling is we were stuffed with former players at the position coach level and its time to move in another direction.

Whether or not that is fair to say.................who knows? But that's the way it is at the moment.

 

[glimmerman]

Useful for what? A door stop? A speed bump? A cheerleader? Maybe.

NFL tight end? No. Not worth a roster spot.

Who you got to replace him. If Jarwin gets more snaps this year then kool. I like him. But the big knock is they cant block. You will see action with the TE this year because MM uses them.

 

[Oneiros]

I don't know much about this hire, so will reserve my judgment until I can see the work being put in with our TE's this offseason.

It'll be telling if he can actually teach our TE's to block though. If so, it's already an improvement over what we had.

 

[Blake]

Witt just threw his hair piece across the room

It hit the wall and stuck.

 

[CWR]

We're bringing in a coach from a team that's sucked for almost a decade?

He did pretty good work with Evan Engram, although he is a talented pass catcher.

 

[Redball Express]

Hold up, is this the same guy? What's going on here........lol

Thanx for posting.
