Twitter: Schoonmaker's snaps are declining due to inconsistent play

[HungryLion]

Cowboys front office may as well just set their second round pick cards on fire.

The end result would be the same

 

[exciter]

Hendershot got some snaps and caught a pass last night for the Chiefs. I wish Andy Reid and his staff were the Cowboys coaches. Because ours don't seem to know what they are doing.

Coaching matters and the Cowboys have many poor coaches including their TE coach. I'd like to see a really good TE coach and OC work with Schoon to see if he can become a better contributor on offense. I see Schoon playing on special teams as expected. But we need him producing on offense where we clearly need lots of help.

Lol,
So now we’re singing the praises of the Hendershot who everyone wanted out of here in favor of a converted WR who couldn’t catch in college?

Hendershot making a few catches isn’t surprising, he’s a receiving TE whose con is being slow and not much of a blocker!

Yeah, both bottom of the barrel players, who cares

 

[kskboys]

Oh no, we had some who were defending the pick and continued to defend while he couldn't get on the field or did nothing when he was on the field.

Some, yes, just not a horde of them. Most were highly disappointed.

Now they are burning their 4th round picks too.

Scoonmaker was supposed to be a great blocking TE who would be like a 6th lineman, him catching was just a plus

If he isn’t doing that then he needs to be cut

 

[MikeT22]

Schoonmaker caught all of 35 passes his senior year. 54 total, in 5 years.

Sooooo, exactly what made us think he was 2nd round worthy?

They thought they had to have a TE and then there was a run on them and they panicked and took Schoon. Did the same thing with Kelvin Joseph. Trying to squeeze in a pick for need.
But with Schoon we didnt actually need to take a TE. But on top of not being able to properly evaluate him we also didnt properly evaluate Ferguson who was already on the team.

Blocking TE's are 5th rounders.

Well said.

It was blatantly clear that Fergie was going to be at least decent, and most likely much better than any TE we took in the 2nd.

Well, that explains why so many of you rail on drafting for need. It's not that drafting for need is bad, it's that we draft badly.

True. I do get that in todays league you have to keep an eye on need much more so than before, but these clowns take it to an extreme, as well as expecting those players to all be ready to make an immediate impact when drafting late in a draft that isn’t overly deep.

The draft is basically free agency for them, and Stephen thinks they outsmarting everyone. Hasn’t really gone that way.

It’s impossible to draft as perfectly as they seem to think they can.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Lord! these Michigan players.

 

[CWR]

Our last four 2nd round picks:

Marshawn Kneeland - injured
Luke Schoonmaker - dog house
Sam Williams - injured/suspended
Kelvin Joseph - out of the league

Will McClay is over rated. He's looking like another Jerry yes man these days.

Had you known this ordeal?You keep schultz.

We draft horribly. When drafting for need, we do an extremely poor job of evaluating the player: Schoonmaker, Kelvin, Taco, Mazi.

I loved Schultz and still do, but he was not worth the 15 mil he was insisting on. Are you aware that we offered him 12 mil/season and he turned it down?

Will got lucky on a few players, and everyone thought he was some draft guru genius.

 

[quickccc]

We need to take Michigan players off the board. We may miss out on a Brady or a Charles Woodson but it’s worth it.

Although cb Jordan Lewis seems to have turned out a solid career role for us.

 

[Plankton]

They panicked. It was a deep TE draft. As much as they count on young players they refused to count on Ferguson and needed to replace Schultz.

They passed on LaPorta (a reported finalist) for Mazi, then there was a run in the early second.

That’s what happens when you fixate on position need in a draft. I was saying for years they were getting away with that but would eventually bite them and it did.

If they kept fixated on need, and took Tucker Kraft instead (who I preferred at the position), it would have been a different outcome with much more upside attached to it.

It wasn't a need pick. We did not need a TE.

I don't even know what to call the Schooner pick, except incredibly dumb.

You seem a small bit upset over this.


Just kidding. Most of us are. Just trying to break up the tension. Carry on…

The worst part is having to listen to the “we draft well” narrative…even from people other than the usual suspects, who seem to be conspicuously absent around here lately.

The second and third rounds of late have killed this roster, and the refusal to use FA to compensate doesn’t help.

It sucks man, and badly. I’d much rather be talking football than trashing the FO, but I don’t see it changing any time soon. They think a lot of themselves despite the results, and anyone that questions that is threatened or laughed at.

It’s somewhere between tough and impossible to root for them to lose, but I really cannot see how change ever takes place otherwise.
