Tight End Speed

[Billyd]

I think someone was claiming last year that Witten still ran a 4.65. I was skeptical.

Swaim, Schultz, and Jarwin all around 4.7. Rico is slower. We're not getting speed out of our TEs. And I can live with that.

SWAIM RAN a 4.67 coming in 2015.

Although Witten was 4.65 (4.55-4.76 range with 4.65 official) there's no way he was that fast 15 years later. No way

And that's even taking not account the extra 10th most guys get when they are hand timed on their own field. My guess is that he was 4.85 or so.

Agreed..Novacheck was faster than i thought!

Aikman used to call him Paycheck Novacek because throwing it to him was like taking money to the bank.

Staup it..lolol

4.66

Witten was slow but would have been fine if the Cowboys WRs had a lot more speed.

Dez was very slow in 2017.

Beasley is very quick but his speed didn't threaten defenses either after the catch or deep.

TWill was faster than Dez but has very average speed for an NFL WR.

Replace Dez with Randy Moss in his prime and replace Beasley with Tyreek Hill and Witten would have been good enough to play a few more years.

Whitten just a good route runner with full tree when came in, waz never blazing..you dont have to be if you run tight routes.

Twill 6-2 4.5 Runs okay routes, decent blocker but nothing more than a avg 2,in production..less last few years likes the comeback route!

Different places always say different times. I tend to go with NFL sites first. NFL says 4.7. I'll go with that.

I know alot of fans want shultzy in there but Linehan and Garrett both dont like using rooks..i know shultzy smart football player but they wont rush him into snaps unless they havd to..swaim will start, and Jarwin will most likely be the other tight end..RICO if he blocks better will get snaps in rotation but his blocking is suspect..he is just ignorant enough to blow an assignment and wonder why he is getting *****ed at! THEN catch a td..

The TE acumen of the posters in this thread is at an all-time low. The Cowboys will be just fine with their "TE speed" this season. It's not a pressing issue. Rico is 4th on the TE depth chart so his so-called,"speed" must not be all that great of an asset.

Idc really thats fast enough to take and end out about to crash a qb or a rb in the backfield!

I think i said 4.75 to begin with..his blocking is his issue!

 

[kskboys]

Someone was very generous with his time. Some of our OL could probably outrun him. Lol

Witten is very quick, which is generally a better trait to have than pure speed for a TE.

I didn't acknowledge you said anything about him. The thread is titled "Tight End Speed" so that's why I mentioned it.

 

[Billyd]

How many tightends run less than a 4-6 in the league? Maybe 5?

P.S.: Get over yourself.
