Opinion: Rod Smith to TE

[big dog cowboy]

Instead of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, why don't the Cowboys draft....a real TE to play TE?

They would've gotten more chances had they shown more than Escobar, which is quite likely given their production.

The Cowboys moved up to get Escobar. He didn't get chances because he didn't show enough, which is why he's not on anyone's roster now. The Chiefs didn't like him enough to even be Kelce's back up.

None of them got very many chances as long as Witten was healthy(and he always is).

Which will probably be real soon....

Idk. Could be a few more years. He might even be the type of guy to play till he’s 40. And I’m sure JG would not hesitate to use him.

This is the next Cowboys TE right here.

I'm fine with keeping Rod Smith where he is. As a RB, he'll likely come in handy subbing for Zeke, once he's suspended.

I vote for the fattest guy on the team to play NT.

They would have the size to play a bit.

He’s currently suspended

I was thinking Paea should've tried the middle linebacker gig before he retired..........

The way Jaylon is playing I don't see how Paea could of played worst lmao. Im sure Jaylon will get it together hopefully. Needs to learn how to shed a blocker.

Gavin Escobar was drafted for that reason. Unfortunately, Travis Kelce and Jordan Reed were taken a round after Escobar.

I like Rod, but I don't see him as a TE. Cross your fingers for Rico Gathers.

Give me some RICO

at 6'3 and 240 lbs he has the size to play it a bit. The skins TE's are about his size. I wonder if he can run routes, get open and catch with his hands consistently? ( With Zeke, Morris and McFadden I doubt Smith gets too many carries at RB).

We need a athletic TE that can make plays. Don't know how much longer Witten plans to play but we can see he had slowed way down already. Witten is steady, make tough catches and tough. #ThrowBackPlayer

His body and speed reminds me of that ex raider, Reece.

If you have to ask yourself... "can he run routes, get open and catch" then it's probably not a good idea. I understand you want to find more ways to give the man the ball. I agree with that sentiment.

I can see him as an Hback..

Can he tun routes out of the backfield.?

If so..let him go in motion in a 2 back set.

single coverage that he should be able to beat.

Ooooh that's a tricky concept!


Have a great week a Big Dog!
