When you win 40-0, finding any problems from a victory like that is hard.
Although everyone has something to work on, if you watch as I do, I’m sure we all noticed the drop by Peyton Hendershot in the endzone on a great thrown ball by Dak Prescott on a gross rainy night in New York.
Another pass was dropped before that for a first down, but things went about as well as they could have last week.
Now, the Cowboys are staring at one of the best defenses in football in the New York Jets this week.
With the loss of Dalton Schultz, the drop-off in production would take a bit of a hit, but not a ton.
You have three guys in that room who can make up his production, but first, they must catch the football!
Schultz only caught two passes for four yards in week one for the Texans, so it’s not like he did any better.
That was his decision to go after that money.
Jake Ferguson was the only TE to catch a pass for Dallas. He had two for 11 yards. Henershot dropped a touchdown right in his bread basket and another right at the sticks for the first down.
The Cowboys will continue to trust these guys. They run a lot of 12 personnel. (One running back, two tight ends).
They will need to be on the field.
We knew we’d have to deal with growing pains as this is one of the youngest groups on their team, but they need to stay ready and catch the next ball thrown their way.
There’s no reason to worry about it, but Dez Bryant thinks the Cowboys should trade for Kyle Pitts.
I can’t say I hate that idea with how he’s being used in Atlanta.
Pitts was the leading receiver for the Falcons in week one, with TWO catches for 44 yards.
Yes, they beat the rebuilding Panthers, but If I were the Cowboys, it wouldn’t hurt to get on the phone in a few weeks and see if they would deal with him after they are out of playoff contention.
They have a solid young team, so it is hard to see them dealing with him, but with Jerry Jones, you never know.
End of the day, the Cowboys will be 2-0 after this Sunday. The tight ends will need to play a significant factor in the running and quick passing game this week.
The Jets have a top-five defense in football. The Cowboys should live in the 12-personal all game.
Drops are one thing, but it isn’t very pleasant when you drop them for a touchdown.
It was the first week, and they won 40-0. So let it go and move on. Let’s also remember that it is pouring down all night. That doesn’t help with first-game jitters for those guys.
This week at home is the perfect game for them to get on track, and ready for the rest of the season.
Expect one of the guys in the room to catch a touchdown pass this weekend.
