God, I hope Williams and Escobar have way more than that.
450 Yards and 5 TDs? That's almost what Ogletree had by himself last year. Literally like half of what Laurent Robinson put up in 2011.
I don't expect massive numbers but if we're "wishing" lets get a little closer to actually making a 2nd and 3rd round pick worth while, not just helping out to the tune of 30 yards per week and a little over 1 TD per month between the two of them. Honestly, if those two only combine for that amount I don't think the offense will be all that successful unless Dallas were to have utilized the 2TE formation far less than what is planned AND Williams was unable to beat out the combo of Harris/Beasley/Coale. Escobar is being billed as a very good receiver, I think with the playing time he'll have he should get those numbers on his own and considering how hard up the team is to get the receiving threat from the #2 TE, he should surpass what would be his share of those numbers by a fair amount.
Honestly, I think Hanna and Harris could have gotten those numbers had they been given the playing time that Williams and Escobar appear to be lined up for. Harris had half the yards but didn't even get significant snaps on offense until Thanksgiving. Hanna probably only saw a play or two in any given game until the end of the season. PFF has him down for 109 snaps, 65 of which he was running a route and 40 of those came in the last month of the season. Half of all his snaps came in the last month. Even at the 86 yards he put up in that month, that'd be over 300 for the year.
I really don't know how much of a role the two of them (Williams in particular) can possibly have considering that one of them being on the field almost means that the other is not. I can't see any way that Dallas would take Austin or Bryant off, Witten never comes off the field and I doubt that Dallas goes empty backfield all that much. Unless Williams somehow passes Austin or Dallas tries to preserve Miles by giving him a good amount of plays off every week, I don't know how much of Williams will be seen. Seems like he's more of a pick for the future when Dallas decides to move Austin in a couple years. But supposedly he's looked sharp in the early stuff so who knows, maybe he'll play well enough to pull some real playing time this year.
One thing I will agree with is this:
A real ball hawk safety emerges And i don't care what his name is - it could be Rowdy
I pray that one of the young guys can make some serious strides and take what looks to be a starting job from Allen. He's the only guy with any experience at all in the system or any significant amount of experience in general, so I think the job is pretty much his. If that isn't the plan I have no idea as to why the team would sign him if his experience could be trumped by a rookie (or in Johnson's case, basically a rookie) who isn't ready to play and who has no experience at the NFL level.
That said, I hope one of those guys blows the doors off the competition and puts Allen into a sub role. If they can't, I think Allen starts and I don't have much confidence in a guy who's last interception came when Roy Williams was a good safety in the NFL and a guy who basically didn't play for multiple years until forced into a bit of act last season. He's started 9 games in the last 6 years after having been sent to the bench by Kiffin in Tampa. Just doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me but I can't imagine he'd be much worse than what has been out there for the last couple seasons.
