FRISCO, Texas -- When former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter tweeted out a video of Jason Witten’s first career catch on Sept. 7, 2003, the 10-time Pro Bowl tight end replied with the simple answer:
I Right 142 Y basic https://t.co/TEGh3APQc0
Carter's initial tweet is gone, but that was the playcall in Bill Parcells’ system.
Since that reception, Witten has gone on to catch 1,088 more passes. He ranks first in team history and seventh in NFL history in catches.
But what about the recall? The Cowboys haven’t run that offense since 2006.
