Yep. He should go spend an entire offseason with the staff of teams like the Patriots, Seahawks, Ravens, Steelers, or Saints then he'll see firsthand just how ass-backwards the Cowboys environment is. Simple things such as seeing players and coaches being held accountable for poor performances would blow his mind.
I think it’s every receiver’s job to point this kind of stuff out to their QB in practice, really. That’s normal football, even in Dallas.
I've seen Witten chew some ass before. I think he is more fiery than you give credit. But he needs experience working his way up as a coach. And frankly he might suck at it but I could also see him developing into a good coach. It just shouldn't be here.
He has the work ethic, I just don’t believe he has the knack for coaching it into others, especially the under-achievers.
Witten would probably be a good coach as well as a leader of young men.
I applaud the passion but if I'm a player on the sideline I'm thinking -Bro, you've dropped about 2 passes and have a false start penalty yourself. Shut yo' 2-yards-after-the-catch-average-ass-up.
I agree. However I think he needs to do it elsewhere. Here's my reasoning.
Seems high.
God every time he caught a ball my mind immediately went to how much more yardage Jarwin would have gotten. How many drives stalled because we threw a crosser to Witten instead of Jarwin.
What exactly is advanced scouting? Like developing metrics? His talent evaluation and coaching sucks. I guess maybe he can count broken tackles or time before a ball is out of a QBs hand.
From my limited understanding it can be things like scouting opponents for tendencies (no-huddle %; personnel groupings, etc) and they write reports. Judging how unprepared our STs were last year, it makes you wonder why they felt this was a good role for him.
This is right, different teams might define it slightly different but generally it's scouting the tendencies of upcoming opponents.
