RELEASED Experiment Over; Cowboys Waive TE Rico Gathers

[Rayman70]

Rico is on the IGA depth chart in Frisco I hear..

 

[Hennessy_King]

No, then they mix country with rap...and still produce... CRAP....

Do your grandkids make you turn up Old town road when it plays on the radio?

 

[Rayman70]

Yo hasn't showers been in the league as long as Brady? We still paying him?

lol..still payin the guy. You tell me why, and then we will both know.

 

[pansophy]

Jarwin was ahead of Rico before camp. Well ahead. Rico was never a threat to him.

Yeah, I know he was ahead of Rico by a lot -- but it sounds like he is ahead of Witten too which is fantastic news.

I have no idea. That's an experiment that should have died. It's crazy what this team will do for a player whether they like them or not. Not if they can play or not.

agree...its bizarre. I see no upside to doing things like this.

Did not think Rico was going to make the team anyway. So do they only go with 3 TE’s for sure on the roster like they should.
Or does McElroy now automatically make the team.

I rather go 3 TEs, 3 RBs, 2 QBs so we can carry extra DL, WR and/or secondary depth.

I hope that's true. I think Witten can still play a reasonable role, but the downfield threat at TE will have to come from Jarwin.

When you don't practice for a whole season it's tough. Some ppl can't learn just from reading plays. That's why there are different ways to teach. Some need the physical reps.

Fair enough, but nothing reported ever gave me the indication he was studying film or attempting to improve. I dont recall any stories of Rico the tireless worker burning the midnight oil.

With his lack of experience he really needed to work his tail off.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Djax will soon follow

I doubt that until final cuts. If Zeke holds out into the season Jackson will make this team. Without Zeke, Jackson is the best blocker and can catch the ball plus run inside and outside. Pollard and Webber make it because they are better plus drafted. Morris and Chunn most likely get cut first.

So which player have you heard that about lol. It's propaganda trash. These are young men trying to make it. The cowboys took advantage of jeff heath spearing him in the helmet in practice. Put him on IR for the entire year no practice just to make room for kellen moore.

That’s has been what i have on all of my roster predictions so far.

 

[Hennessy_King]

This tells me all I need to know. Please just post about football. You obviously just aren't cultured enough.

Probably more so than you are. Just showing your crap self as usual.

 

[CowboyStar88]

He was an idiot. Just like Cole Beasley. Another idiot. When a player starts thinking he's a rapper cut bait stat.

What about when a poster thinks he’s a rapper?

Asking for a friend

 

[CowboyStar88]

He was dumb and lazy (But big and strong with good athletic ability).

Jarwin, Schultz and Witten are smart and hard workers.

I wouldn’t say dumb, but lazy is probably spot on.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Probably more so than you are. Just showing your crap self as usual.

I'm going to go with absolutely false. You can't live 30 minutes outside NYC and live in a sheltered box.

OXNARD, Calif. - he Cowboys have apparently seen enough of the Rico Gathers experiment, deciding to cut the tight end on Monday here at training camp.

Gathers was entering his fourth camp with the team, and had seemingly improved every year, going from the practice squad in 2016-17 to the active roster last year in 2018, when he played 15 games, including four starts.

But here at camp, Gathers hadn’t made a big impact, and also suffered a minor ankle injury that kept him out a few days........

What took so long.

Seriously? You've never heard stories about the guys that set the standard? Romo became a football junky in the later part of his career. Sean Lee is another one. Then you hear stories of the guys that are in the weight room every day of the offseason.

I listen to a lot of various podcasts during my commute and I catch various examples. It seemed the organization was disappointed with Rico and wanted him to have a better grasp for what he was doing. Negative plays were taking away from his elite size/ability.
