Yahoo Sports NFL on Jake Ferguson
From the article
Ferguson caught three of four targets for 11 yards against Houston (granted one was a crucial fourth-down catch), but the bigger concern was what he did, or failed to do, as a blocker.
STACKED’s take
Ferguson's blocking inconsistency is a sell; Cowboys need reliable tight end play.
Ferguson caught three of four targets for 11 yards against Houston, but the primary concern is his blocking performance. He spent much of the afternoon chipping against Houston's edge rushers with multiple moments where his technique and effort left Dallas' offense in difficult positions. Dallas relies on Ferguson to be both a pass-catching tight end and a reliable blocker, but he has had too many snaps where he either misses assignments entirely or makes contact without finishing blocks. With Prescott playing at a high level, Lamb virtually impossible to contain, and Javonte Williams a major part of the offense, the Cowboys need reliable blocking from their tight ends. The Buccaneers will use multiple methods to create pressure and have held three consecutive opponents to 285 yards or fewer, meaning Tampa's pass rush could be a problem and Dallas cannot afford preventable pressure through missed blocks.
