Shoonmaker has got to go!

[VaqueroTD]

Spann-Ford played 243 snaps on STs and he is a better blocker than Schoonmaker which is part of why he took over the 2nd TE role.

He really impressed last year. Even times I felt he played better than Fergy.

Keep in mind that Schoon (a so-called blocking TE) isn't all that great at blocking.

I think he gets knocked for that more than he deserves because we're not happy spending a second-round pick on a blocking tight end. Spann-Ford is almost like having an extra lineman out there, which is why he gets the nod over Schoonmaker as the second TE. Their receiving ability looks pretty similar.

I'd be just as disappointed with Schoon if he were a 4th-round pick, but the reason he's still on the team is that he was a 2nd-round pick, imo.

Trigg looked better in a the few series he played than shoon ever has. This will show me if jerry is finally getting smarter and getting over his player coddling. Trigg has some serious upside and seems to also block.

His name isn't Shoon.

I don't know about that. He hasn't done anything IMO to run himself off the roster. He just hasn't done anything to elevate his position, either. He hasn't stood out. As a third TE, that's OK. You want to upgrade the position if you can, but I don't think he's shown himself to be unworthy of an NFL roster/backup role, which is all I expect of players taken on the third day of the draft. I expect more of second-round picks.

He never should have been here. At least not as a 2nd round pick.

An evergreen lament of Cowboy fans.

I dont know i've been playing Madden 27 and i am killing it with the 2 TE sets and motioning him around. he's caught more passes than Ferg at this point and im only 1/4 of the way in to the season.

Politics over performance.

It’s the Cowboys way!
We like our (highly drafted) guys!

 

[IceStar-D7]

Agreed....Weakest link by far at tightend

 

[StarBoyz83]

He will for sure be on the team this year.

 

[doomsday808]

Big dose of Trigg this weekend, if he played like he did, game over for Scoon.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Spannford is the #2 so frankly Schoon can go right now and no one would miss him

Yes. Because injuries never happen. I dont want him on the roster either but he is better than anyone behind him at this stage unfortunately.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

He’s saying he heard “reports.” I’m saying I didn’t hear or read anything that said other teams were thinking of taking Schoon in the 2nd round.

I was referring to you following the draft more closely than anyone else on here.

 

[DandyDon52]

schoon may be a good ST player, maybe thats why he is still around?

Catching passes maybe. His blocking is not good.

I'm just sitting back and observing how this year's TE room works out. I wouldn't be surprised if "Schoon" isn't there after the final cut.

Nor would I care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The obsession w/ cutting players before someone beats them out is just so strange. It's especially odd when the obsession is about keeping one bottom of the roster player over another.
