FRISCO, Texas -- While the envisioned veteran wide receiver being their No. 2 pa s-catcher after acquiring him in an offseason trade Abdel Nader Jersey with the , quarterback actual No. 2 target behind All-Pro receiver is second-year tight end , a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin. His 32 catches and 328 receiving yards both rank as the second-most on the team, while his three receiving touchdowns are tied for the most alongside Lamb."Fergie is playing at an elite level," offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Monday. "He had a big fourth-down conversion for us on the under route (against the ). Obviously, the touchdown is amazing, but you talk about a guy that plays the game the right way. I don't know how much shit he talks, but he definitely talks shit. He has fun. He is pa sionate about what he is doing. ... To see him from the start of the offseason to where he is now, I wouldn't say surprises me, but he is playing at an elite level. I think he's just scratching the surface." Ferguson totaled a career-high 91 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven catches -- tied for his career-high -- in the Cowboys' at the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9." Ferguson is the lead dog in the (tight end position) room," McCarthy said Monday. "I love his pa sion and aggre sion that he plays with. Dalton (Schultz) was an extremely productive player here the last two years, and now Ferguson being the guy in the room, to play that many reps is where he needs to continue to grow because there is a conditioning that goes with the physical, mental and emotional. I think he does a really good job, and I know Dak and him have a very strong connection." DAL TE #87 TAR43REC32REC YDs328REC TD3FL0 That connection flashed during a streak of 19 consecutive completions from Prescott to Ferguson earlier this season."I think we're making the right strides for sure," Ferguson said. "Especially where I want to go. I think definitely taking the right steps, but there's definitely a lot more work to be done. A lot more things will happen. I think the two balls that I dropped (against the Eagles) were definitely catchable, and that's something that I focus on and after the game, we talk about. He's like 'Hey, I don't know about that beeline.' I go, 'No, no I love it. Keep throwing those. I love that ball.' I just have to come down with it and e sentially not shy away from the hit. I think taking the right strides for sure and definitely more work to be done."Just le s than halfway through the 2023 campaign. Ferguson has already smashed all of his totals in targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns from his rookie year. He credits his breakout with increased communication with Prescott now that he is the "lead dog" tight end. "It's crucial whether it's texting after practice, in the meeting room, whatever it may be," Ferguson said of his two-way feedback conversations with Prescott. "If you're correcting it, then you're on the right track. ... One mistake happens, we try to attack it head on and talk to each other, talk it out. When the next time does come, it's not even a question. ... It's a little more vocal this year. Last year, I was just trying to get my feet under me at the beginning of the season and then towards the end, just put my head down and work. I can really make an impact and some big things on offense. I just have to be there every single time. So when Dak says, 'I'm throwing it to Ferg,' he has the ultimate confidence that I'm coming out with it."His quarterback agreed that regular dialogue between himself and his pa s-catchers is critical when it comes to finding succe s in the pa sing game. Prescottsince Week 6. Communicating off the field is going to develop with age, but when I came in as a rookie, I knew I had to Chris Paul Jersey be on the same page with guys being thrown into the mix," Prescott said Thursday. "You have to be able to communicate and communicate well to expedite that proce s of getting on the same page with guys. There's no difference now with me being older. These young guys need to understand that and they have to communicate with me what they're thinking and more importantly what I'm thinking because I've got to get you the ball and we've got to be on the same page there. So your off-field is huge. During games, if a play comes up, I don't wait. I'm going to these guys now and talking about what they need to do because that play may come up in a very similar situation a few players within the next drive or later in the game. It's always better when it's fresh in your mind, especially with the guys that catch the ball." Following the Cowboys' stunning , the only win for the 1-8 this season, Ferguson made an increased, concerted effort |
