Agreed.

Green is solid, but always hurt. Everybody knows Carroll is a bum. Gathers was an 6th round project ... hard to call that a bust.

I don't think Taco will be a bust nor will he be a 10+ sack a year guy. He will be a solid rotational guy who starts a bunch of games for us.

Apples to oranges, but reminds me of Chris Canty here. Will be a starter for several years and be a solid guy who gives us tons of snaps and 4-8 sacks a year.
I think Gathers still has a high level to go and develop and TACO may be that Chris Canty type which can be good if Moore and others can be that rusch RDE !!!

It's a double edged sword for Rico, IMO. He is still young, raw and has the intangibles to become elite. He could push Hanna for snaps.

But with that being said, either he shows something soon or it's time to move on. When we hear about you fighting more than making catches, we have a problem!

How many fights has he been in? I've only heard of the one

Well he is still like a rookie and will need to grow !!! Hope he can help this year and think he will get better as the year goes on.

One too many brother!!! Haha

Block, catch passes, do you job and earn your bread!
To be fair, training camp just started. Let's give it some time, brother.

And the fighting is fine. Happens every training camp, as long as it's contained, on the field, and heat of the moment. Obviously, we don't wanna hear of incidents like what happened with Geno Smith (goes without being said).

But this Rico dealio ("fight") is a bit overblown, imo. His lack of catches, well, it's been one week.

Isn't Taco getting worked over by Tyron during practice? Tyron makes a lot of defenders look like busts.

I'd like someone like Gronk but stronger and faster. Maybe 6'5 289-290 runs about 4.45-4.5 and sturdy as heck. Can intimidate DEs just by looking at him. Has a mean streak and needs to take meds to keep him from destroying the world. That's who we need playing TE. Oh and he has perfect hands and a wide catch zone and loves to block.

And has been suspended 1 game in college for DDTing an opposing player after catching a TD in the NCAA title game.
