Yahoo Sports NFL on Jake Ferguson
From the article
Jesse Holley, former Cowboys wide receiver and current analyst for DLLS, was on top of Jake Ferguson all game as far as his run/pass blocking. To put it politely, Holly was disappointed in what he saw from the Cowboys Pro Bowl tight end.
STACKED’s take
Ferguson's poor blocking drew criticism; Spann-Ford's rise could signal role pressure.
Ferguson's blocking performance drew criticism from the source Jesse Holley, who was disappointed in the Cowboys Pro Bowl tight end's run and pass blocking effort throughout the game. While Ferguson remains a reliable pass-catching target for Prescott in the red zone and on crucial downs, his blocking has been a persistent question mark since joining Dallas. The Cowboys demand significant blocking contributions from their tight ends in the run game and against elite pass rushers. If Brevyn Spann-Ford, who is described as "night and day better at the blocking game," receives increased snaps in passing situations, it could signal the coaching staff's message that Ferguson needs to improve his blocking to maintain his No. 1 tight end role.
