FEATURED Twitter: Mike and Witten had a great conversation

[Loso86]

And you are ... from what land?

Oh I'm from this land lol just amazed me often

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I think he deserves a little better respect than that.

He's gotten his respect by playing 3 years longer than he should. Any other team would have given him a bus ride back to Tennessee in 2017.

I see. Comport yourself like a gentleman and keep the Oi music down.

Umm!?

Please turn the page on Witten...let him bring out the practice dummies or something like that, but nothing more.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Yeah that’s probably how you guys wish it went but I’m sure much more respect was given to him than that.

So MM praised Witten for wearing a hair peice afterwards?

Neat

 

[Cmac]

…..at some point, if he doesn't want to see the door, you have to show it to him.

 

[Walker]

Witten will be staying just watch

Fail.

Jason Witten will be the best TEs coach in the NFL on running 2 yard curl routes.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Fail.

After you got a chuckle out of it.

We can tell anybody anything from behind the keyboard!

 

[Seven]

In both tweets........who is "he"?

MM or Dak and Witten?

 

[cern]

What I gleaned from the conversation is witten won't be the te's coach and has to consider his future which doesn't include him on the cowboys roster. Wish him the best. Too bad he blew it with the networks. He just doesn't have the gift of oratory.

Not necessarily, but he wouldn’t have been featured as prominently. He is still useful if his role is more limited.

Witten has had a nice career, but it's time to hang up the cleats.
Dallas would be wise to sign or draft a talented young TE that can be paired with Jarwin..
With hopefully more emphasis on receiving than blocking.
Follow the model set by the Patriots and Eagles when it comes to having two dynamic, athletic TEs.

 

[America's Cowboy]

why?

He outplayed every TE on the roster.

not even close.

Witten outplayed every TE on the roster?

And why is that?

Answer: Witten was given an overwhelming majority of all TE plays for whatever reason this past season. That's why.

Let's look at both Witten's and Jarwin's regular season stats...

2019 Regular Season:

Jason Witten:
REC YDS AVG LNG TD
63 529 8.4 33 4

Blake Jarwin:
REC YDS AVG LNG TD
31 365 11.8 42 3

Witten caught just over double the amount of passes than Jarwin caught (63 to 31), yet Witten barely managed to receive 164 more yards than Jarwin with a much lesser yards receiving average (8.4 to 11.8), much lesser longest catch (in yards: 33 to 42) and barely 1 more TD (4 to 3). Arguably, had Jarwin been given the same (double) amount of catching opportunities as Witten, Jarwin possibly could have doubled his total catching yards from 365 to 730 and possibly doubled his TDs from 3 to 6. That would have resulted in 201 more receiving yards and 2 more TDs for Jarwin over Witten.

With this all said, who truly would have best served the team to have received a majority of all TE receptions? Witten or Jarwin?

 

[LocimusPrime]

MM: hey Jason what I can I do for you
JW: can I be the TEs coach
MM: no but hey great talk Jason. You can show yourself out

That’s an oversimplification because they were used in different situations for different purposes, but it’s true that Jarwin is better able to make bigger yardage plays. We all knew that without seeing stats.

 

[Manster_Mash]

Once a great player, but the Cowboys won nothing during his career. He is a symbol of the failure, disappointment, and dysfunction of the past 2 decades. As such, I feel little reverence and attachment.

What did his "leadership" accomplish?

His time passed several years ago. If they dont have a better TE option, then that is one sorry scouting department.

What different situations were Witten and Jarwin used?
