why did we draft escobar again.

[IrishAnto]

It doesn't matter what his skill set is, when the coaching staff doesn't know how to utilize them. It wasn't that long ago, many of those same things were said about Marty B., big, athletic, great red zone target.... When Marty B. didn't produce to expectations, people blamed his lack of focus, work ethic, etc. He goes to NY and played reasonably well and now in Chicago and he seems to be playing well. Was it the player or how that player was used? Personally, I think it was more about inadequate play design and how that player is used.

I think Escobar was a bad pick, but not because of the player, but more about what the team's urgent needs were and the team's current offensive philosophy is. The offensive staff hasn't shown any ability to design effective 2 TE sets, so his talent will go wasted and thus a wasted pick.

Couldn't agree more.

I think Witten has lost a step.

I thought this was the week we would really see him used.

Hannah was out there getting killed in the running game.

He got killed to the tune of 5yds a carry.

Problem isn't wiith Escobar, it's with a coaching staff who have no idea how to take advantage of it's personnel.

Hanna has good hands, seems to be able to seperate and has 4.49 speed, you would think he would get a touch?

Dez ignored for the entire second half until a late fourth quarter desperation drive.

Yup, but Romo doesn't seem to care because you know he'll target his old bff a dozen times every game open or not.

When you have witten now was not the time to draft for luxury. Where is the vaunted 12 offense.

Garrett lives in a fantasy world. He wants to follow what the top offenses in the league is doing. Thus we wasted draft picks, energy and resources only to find out that the 3 receiver formation is out best offense play.

Pointless pick. First the guy is weaker than WNBA players, second no one on our staff has any clue about the 12 package.

The running game was good, Hannah was going backwards blocking all day.

And I completely agree I have no idea why hanna, Dunbar and Escobar are not part of the game. They certainly would be on other teams, it's beyond disappointing.

I was thinking the same thing: we lost this game because of our third string TE.

Third string te? Your 2nd round pick is 3rd string? That funny in itself. The point is that you could have drafted someone that could contribute on defense now

 

[birdwells1]

I think Witten has lost a step.

When was the last time Witten piled up yac? When he catches thd ball Im hoping he already have a fd because he isn't breaking a tackle to get it.

Cinci has a pro bowl TE in Greshem...they draft a TE in the 1st round. But they're using him. Eifert's got 12rec 159yds. Escobar has 3rec, 40yds.

CInci has made room in their offense for Eifert. This feels like Martellus Bennett all over again. If you're not willing to put a guy into a game to be a pass catching TE, then don't draft one that high. But then again, we have Hanna and he's not being used.

I am so damn tired of this lame *** coaching staff and their lame *** game plans.....Under utilizing what appears to be solid contributors, sick of this crap.
