Twitter: Rico throws shade at Witt?

If anything it's more of a shot at the coaches.
He could be the #2 TE and get some more snaps, even with Witten here.

 

[StarMan2112]

What the hell is he saying? I can’t make any sense of that jibberish.

Big deal. Rico is right. There is favoritism on this team and organization. It's been going on for decades.

Translation: my pet cat doesn't play.

How many years does Rico need to move up the depth chart? Last year was the weakest TE corp in 15 years and he still couldn't get on the field.

Cut the bum already he sucks

Rico is not my pet cat. Simply stating facts.



Rico blocked better than Swaim and Schultz. Plus, as shown on this video, Rico can get open at times. Too bad Dak missed him several times in the endzone.

There was no favoritism when the stuck with Dak after Romo was healthy.

Yes it was, Garrett was done with Romo. Have yet to hear Romo say anything positive about Garrett as well, in fact, just low-key shade.

When a player has to be called off the field because he doesn't line up right, he needs another line of work. I don't think he's smart enough to play football. Did I just write that? Well, guess I did so I have to stick by it.

Gathers is just like Bennett was when he was drafted, interested more in running his mouth and being an awesome person than learning his job.

I agree with the Witten favoritism but is it not justified? When a player shows up for work, ready to work and dedicates himself to wringing every ounce of talent out of himself, shows his toughness by trying to get back in the game with a broken jaw, coaches seem to favor that.

He might need better coaching.

Nonsense just like his contribution

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Rico is a colossal life loser.

You base this on what exactly?

Are you in the habit of cling people losers who you have never met and have reached the highest level of their profession?

 

[Corso]

The fact this guy is now a millionaire should be a crime against humanity.

No... the fact that I'm not a millionaire is a crime against humanity.

I see nothing wrong with his comments about a predetermined depth chart. I’d assume most clubs have one, it’s not like every position is open for competition.

If you’re being honest with yourself, do you really believe Witten hasn’t earned the right to be a starter? I do believe he should play at a decreased role, but a starter most definitely.

Edit:

I’m one of Rico’s biggest critics on this site.

CZ: Rico!!!!!!
Me: Who?

 

[conner01]

Maybe I missed something but I don't see anything to suggest he is ripping Witten...

And I thought it was just me or I missed something lol

Such a simplistic way of thinking and wrong. Hard to prove yourself on the field when you don't get even close to the same reps as the others in practice. Especially Witten, who has been a bum for years now. Spare me his numbers. He's only open because not one single defender needs to cover him knowing he is just barely quicker than a corpse. Witten will suck the life out of the offense again. Can't wait for those 2 yard routes on 3rd and 10. Oh but hey, he will rack up pointless catches and everyone will point to that about how he still has it. Witten coming back is terrible for the growth of this team. And Rico is right, Witten doesn't need to do anything at all to secure his spot and targets. Marty B and TO already spoke on this about Witten. But everyone brushes it off because it's them. Yet Marty B goes to NE and contributes to a ring while Witten withered away in Dallas. He's been a net negative here for years. But Dallas/Witten is that couple who can't move on because they love comfortable and fear change. Just like we have been running the same stale offense with the same stale coach for a decade. We hate change.

Rico was not a football player. So yes, his learning curve is higher. Your thinking of everyone controls their destiny in sports is silly. Tons of politics at play. Go look at many teams in all sports who refuse to let younger players get a chance and keep the vet in place, no matter how bad they are (ex: Rougie Odor).

Sorry, it really is that simple. If you are garbage whenever you get on the field, you won't be high on the chart. The one thing you are right about is that Rico was not a football player, still isn't.

It's not about Witten; I'm not even all that high on him coming back because Jarwin was impressive to me last season.

I guess if you want to defend Rico's inability to play on politics, whatever. Sure, Witten is getting "family" treatment, but doesn't have anything to do why Rico, in particular, isn't/won't see the field.

He’s just a poor miserable person.

That was his biggest issue. If this was the case he would’ve been playing a lot more. The fact is the dude had zero idea who to block.



On a side note why can’t I add a GIF???

 

[Beaker42]

Earn your spot. Get open and take advantage of your chances and they will have to play you..

No, they don’t. It wouldn’t matter if Rico was the second coming of Tony Gonzalez ...... he wouldn’t get reps.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Rico is blowing his chance, and I suspect it’s because of his attitude.

Wit told us two years ago that Jarwin was the one doing the right things. Turns out, the players actually know what’s what.

Rico is definitely on the bubble this year, and he's busy mouthing off.

I think Jarwin will be the best fit for Moore's style of offense. Can line up all over the place. He's put on some weight, too. Listed as 260 now.
Schultz looks like the Witten style replacement. But is he really still 244?
Witten is the chains mover.

Rico has gotten better as the blocking TE, but he's not great shakes at it. If he had focused on that since he came to the league, he'd be a lock for the roster and a career in the NFL. I've been pulling for him, but he just seems to feel entitled to move up the roster, and that's what gets you dropped when you're on the bubble.
