Jason Witten: The Overlooked Dallas Cowboy

The 2012 season of the NFL was a fun one to watch. Adrian Peterson was 9 yards short of the single season rushing record. Calvin Johnson broke the single season receiving record. Second year defensive end, J.J. Watt was two sacks short of the single season sack record.

It was an exciting season, which saw many records challenged and broken. Our very own Jason Witten broke a couple of records this season, however most fans didn’t realize this. This year Witten had 110 receptions, which broke Tony Gonzalez’s single season reception record by a tight end. In addition, Witten also had his 4^th 1000 yard season, which ties Tony Gonzalez’s for most 1000 yard seasons by a tight end. In week 8, against the Giants, Witten had 18 receptions which broke the single game reception record by a tight end. Finally, Witten broke a Cowboy’s record for most career receptions. (more…)

72 – The number of sacks quarterback Tony Romo has endured the past two seasons behind our offensive line (36 in 2011 and 36 in 2012).

8 – The amount of rushing touchdowns our ‘Boys accumulated as a TEAM last season behind that very same offensive line. And only 13 the past two seasons with that Romo guy accounting for two of them.

1,265 – Total rushing output from ALL Dallas running backs last season which resulted in the 31^st ranked rushing offense (there are only 32 teams).

1 – The amount of offensive line positions that are essentially guaranteed heading into 2013.

ZERO – The tolerance I will have (as well as many of you) if Romo continues to have to run for his dear life every other play, suffering through yet another season of taking 36 sacks. (more…)

Going into the 2013 NFL Draft the Dallas Cowboys had a set of needs they had to fill. There were the obvious needs along the offensive line and at safety, but no one had cornerback as an area Dallas had to address. Simply put, Dallas needed to get better all around and they were able [...]
