#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones tells @1053thefan they believe they can use Rico Gathers to help them win ballgames.

I keep feeding the fool and he keeps taking it...I love it.... you ever feel like you are in quick sand? with every word you sink deeper..ever feel like you are all alone? like when you talk, it just goes right through people? no one ever looks at you or acknowledges you? you take the slightest response as a sign of friendship? do voices in your head scream? any imaginary friends? do you think these last few responses are PR for rico? do you have feelings of desperation?

and what will you do when rico is cut? feel like a failure? like your normal self again.... all of this and nothing.....what if rico doesn't even make it to any other NFL team.... and then no threads, no responses, nothing....just an empty echo and no one to communicate with any longer...going back to irrelevancy of your life.

I dont know why we didnt bother to start him even once this preseason. I think hes proven himself enough to make the team though. Hes a difference maker in a group without difference makers.

it is possible that they r well aware of the pass catching talent that many of us do.
in which case, they (and negative comments) simply want to push him to perform on the blocking side even though they intended to keep him.
that would explain making him block most of the time but with backup qb's to protect dak in case he screws up.

It's pretty simple. Put him in on pass plays and let him tear up LBs and safeties. I could care less if he cant block. Let him create problems for pass defenses. All this blocking paranoia by our coaches is flat out idiotic.

i need no acknowledgment. i am quite content. no matter what happens, i know i spent a few hours of time and did the most i can think of doing.
sorry to hear ur life is so sad. some of us has work to go back to and friends to hang out with.

I've thought Rico would be on the roster, and the first Red Zone play where Linehan isolates him on a 5'9" slot corner so he catches a TD a foot over the defenders head..... all negative posts will be forgotten.
