Witten just looks different to me.. (1 Viewer)

I dunno. Looks bigger, slower. I've see most of the Cowboy plays this year and it's not all Romo. I don't think I've seen Witten hit in stride in the middle of the field once all year. With Austin and others having speed on the outside you'd think that they could have some mismatches. I was going to make the excuse that with the Cowboys pass blocking issues they are keeping him in for protection but I see him in routes almost every play - so that ain't it. He's almost droppable at this point..

Funny. I just had a simular conversation with my buddy during the 4Q of todays game. He looks lumbering - not the speed that he had last year.

He's getting open a bit but there's almost no YAC. We were at the bar laughing at the piano on his back when he did break that tackle for the key first down. I wonder if he's playing hurt .... he's definately not looking like a sure-thing top 5 option.

Yeah, that play in particular probably caught the eye of a lot of people. I also thought he didn't look that crisp as I watched him running some routes. Really does make me wonder if he's playing through some kind of injury.

I thought it was just me...he put one move on, a good stiff arm, but did not turn on any speed as he headed down the sideline. He just looked slower to me. The thing that frustrates me is that he is not getting the redzone looks like he did before. Maybe he's just not getting the separation?For Fantasy, with so many other good TEs this year, I don't think you can get much for him. On the flip side, who would you pick up off waivers and feel comfortable starting over him?
