As good as our offense is it's not completely set. Still need to see what we have in these young WRs and TEs we have.

 

[Teague31]

225 is awfully light for a blocking TE at this level. Shame Rico isn't ready to roll yet

 

[lkelly]

Does he just play special teams or do they have some pass routes for him in mind? He doesn't seem like a guy who will handle the blocking chores without getting run over.

Maybe he is just scrappy and will hold his own - guess we'll see.

 

[sbark]

Kinda same size as Jay Novacek was ...too quick for lb.. at 225 too big for cb ...if he can just pick up some stuff from Witten on the go

 

[Common Sense]

He's an interesting player. Too many holes in his game to probably ever be much of a WR, but could make for a neat H-back / slot receiver hybrid this year and then factor into the bottom of the receiver rotation next year, where we'll probably be looking to replace T-Will and Butler.

I think he is inactive and the reps go to Escobar.

 

[reddyuta]

No way is he playing Hback,imo he is playing WR and special teams if he is active.

I imagine they'll just use him to con defenses into sneaking an extra DB on the field for running plays in shorter yardage situations. It's a wrinkle that could be the difference between Escobar vs. a team's first-team LB or Mayle vs. a team's 3rd or 4th DB. Later in the year once injuries have set in is the perfect time to start testing other teams' depth.

Cowboys must have a plan going against this #1 defense Mayle is not to be confused with a TE wannabe. I like the move.

Man, I hate that car commercial with that line. What does that mean? Other than it rhymes.

Back in the 70s casinos had 3 piece chicken dinners for under 2 bucks. When people get and won, the dealer would yell " winner winner chicken dinner" lol lol

Yes, if they use him like a TE, he will likely be blocking the slot CB. That seems like a favorable matchup. IIRC his blocking as a WR was very good in the preseason.

So ... congratulations on your promotion Gavin Escobar?

 

[Zman5]

Coming out of the draft, he was projected as a WR/H-back. I think he can make most impact blocking on a run play.

 

[Gaede]

I like this move. Would be cool to have another Lucky Whitehead type threat--where you have to account for his unique presence

 

[Screw The Hall]

I think this has more to do with special teams ability than the third TE. Mayle was excelling at special teams in training camp if I recall correctly.

Nope, look out BB. People are getting benched these days! ST is a plus!!
