Twitter: New TE coach is nitpicking Witten...Quotes Post #77

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Somehow he gets open on most plays and you can't deny it. I always scratch my head how he gets open because we all know how big and slow he is

He needs it, those 3 yard out routes on 3rd and 8 have to stop, and he needs to run his routes when doing those more precise. Yeah Romo shouldn't even be throwing to that dumb *** route, but with him running it so sloppy it always almost get's picked off or gets him clocked

Bwahahahahaha. Stupid Cowboys fans.

Bwahahahahaha. Stupid Cowboys fans.

This coming from a Homer.....yeah. This team can do no wrong, what was I thinking?? Hell if we bring back Keith Davis, and Danny McCray to start at safety, our coaches are the best

Yet, another demonstration that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Keep going. Let all that stupid out at once. You purge. I'll laugh. It'll be fun.

I'm sorry man, just trying to agree with you.

So who do you want to come back? Reeves and Ball at corner? How about Lance Frazier? Better yet we could also bring back Roy Williams the WR. If we do this, you would still be happy, no?

Yes, I understand that you get mad at anything Negative said about this team. I'm sorry, our players can do no wrong. Our team could do no wrong.

So again, who would you like at corner? If we bring any of those guys back, you wouldn't be upset right?

He doesn't pick his own routes.

He has to read the defense and adjust his route to run the tree just like all the other receivers

How is the new TE coach a guru anyhow? Wasn't he with the Giants last year? Their fans hated him. At least the ones on the Giants message board did.

Mike Pope is one of the best TE coaches in the league. He has been for 30 years. The Giants loss is definitely the Cowboys gain.

There ya go. Keep purging the stupid. Go, my friend, go.

Yeah yeah, all that good stuff.

So Reeves, Frazier, Ross, or Ball? You won't mind right?

 

[Frozen700]

some so called internet expert thinks he knows better than a future HOF player. This is funny in a pathetic way

Tell about it, pshhhhh

New tight ends coach Mike Pope is “nit-picking” with him, but Jason Witten said it’s for his own good.

“He’s been honest with me in trying to really push me to ‘Let’s even take this to another level,’ ” Witten said of his new coach, a 32-year veteran NFL assistant who started with the Giants under Bill Parcells in 1983 and was on the staff of all four of the franchise’s Super Bowl championship teams.

“I appreciate that challenge and the way he’s gone about it,” Witten said. “I know he’s kind of the guru of tight end coaches.”

Pope, speaking at the Cowboys’ rookie mini-camp last weekend, said Witten is an ideal model of habits for younger players, but that there are no “zero-defect” players.

“I’m excited, and he’s excited – he says he is, anyway; I don’t know him to be anything but truthful – but there are some areas that he’s hoping, and I believe, we can help him, with the years that I’ve been doing this with all different types of players,” Pope said. “So I’m looking forward to keeping him on an upward spiral and then bringing in Gavin Escobar and James Hanna along and fill in more of those spots with more production.”

Two years ago, Witten set an NFL record for catches in a single season by a tight end, with 110. Last year, his eight touchdown catches were his second-highest total for a single season.

“His picture of running a route is worth an hour of classroom for me, because that’s how you do it,” Pope said. He said the free agents and rookie tight ends were told last weekend, “Just look at that, and just simply be a mirror of that player, and you’ll be pretty close to right.”

Witten, who turned 32 on May 6, acknowledges he has less time ahead of him in his career than he does behind. But he says he still has room for improvement, which is what Pope wants.

“There’s always room to improve,” Witten said. “He’s nit-picking for sure, but that’s what I like about him.”

Yup

So many things with this post.. where to start. Btw, how've you been Frozen?

Ok, first.. Witten doesn't choose the routes he runs.. the coaches do. Second, he runs pretty much one route all game.. go five yards and break towards the sideline, and yet he caught over 100 balls just a year ago because nobody can ever stop him, even when you pretty much have to know what he's going to be doing, and doing fairly slowly in his older age.

That leads me to believe, he most certainly does NOT run sloppy routes, and he uses his body very well in keeping defenders off the ball.

You can call me an idiot now if you want, lol.

Ah yes, I forgot, Lord Witten can do no wrong.

I did not say he runs sloppy routes. You all are just so quick to Defend the Witten, your Lord. I said he runs the out Route real sloppy, just runs up and turns real quick, yeah, he's really fooling the defense. Tell me, how many first downs, while doing that route for 3 yards, on 3rd and long has he picked up for us.

I might be blind, but on 3rd and long, when he does this, he is either hit immediately and rode out of bounds, the ball is thrown at his feet because there is a defender right there, or a guy flashes right in front for the near int.

Witten has lost a step, lets not pretend he is still this great TE that no one can guard. He's a cowboy, cool, but lets not act blind.
