are some of these posters here getting confused with Witten the possible coach... vs Witten the continuing player?
You wouldn't think of his high football IQ and knack for the game, with the way he continuous collects yellow flag penalties with these false starts and illegal motion, etc.
but I hear from several testimonies from players and coaches, how he is like having a coach on the playing field and how he leads, guides and teaches players of all offensive skill sets
improving awareness, preparation, techniques, assignments and adjusting on the move.
I think I heard one from DeMarco Murray that if a key rookie or vet player wants to learn the game right and quickly, go to and always stay around Witten.
And take in his vast experience with the TE role alone, which I think he'd immediately be one of the very best in the NFL, and not just in the pass game but in-line blocking as well.
