Calvin Watkins, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten is off to a slow start this season. He has three fewer catches and 33 fewer yards through four games than he did in 2005. Witten also has failed to score a touchdown this year. Defenses are using zone coverage against Witten in the middle of the field more this year and he has been used more to block on running plays and against blitzes. QB Drew Bledsoe said, "Jason will become more involved as we move forward. To be honest, he's become more of a blocker, and he's been unselfish."
