Dak played 98.59% and both Fred and Collins played 100%.

The guy is a warrior, HOF, ROH, etc etc but that number has to change folks if we are going to go anywhere next year folks. That's just ridiculous.

What do you think happens? That number has to come down to at least 70% at least. But does JG and Linny have the clout to do it? We are the slowest offense in football right now!

They're the coaches, right? What's the worst that happens, Witten runs to Jerry and ruins his image of being a team player? Somebody just has to tell him! Despite having impenetrable job security, Garrett doesn't have the balls for it.

Why do we suddenly need speed at the TE position when we haven’t had it any of the last 15 years again?

I don't think we necessarily need speed at TE, but we sure need it somewhere.

We don't have speed anywhere else, teams have figured it out, and are exploiting us because of it.

I think the wideouts are the biggest individual problems, but the larger problem is having no one to threaten deep, and no wideout that commands double teams.

Witten isn't a big problem, but he's won't be doing much to contribute to a solution to our problems either.

Witten played 98.4% of the snaps in 2017.. and he gave 100% probably on all the plays.. not like he's out their jogging around or standing still because the ball isn't going his way.........

Yeah, that’s how I see it too.

The disrespect for witten is unbelievable...

Witten has NEVER been fast or a RAC kinda guy... NEVER!!

People are acting as if his age has slowed him down but put on a game from 07 and I guarantee you that Witten looks the same .


Witten made a living finding soft spots in the zone but now that defenses don't fear the deep passing game, there is no room for him to exploit..same thing happened to Beasley.

I guarantee you that the day we start throwing an occasional deep pass to the WRs Witten will go back to being the guy that is "always open despite the fact that he is so slow"........
