Cowboys TE coach Mike Pope: This needs to be a breakout year for Gavin Escobar

Dallas Cowboys tight end coach Mike Pope recently joined The Musers on KTCK-AM (1310) to talk all things football. Here are some of the highlights:
On where he gauges Gavin Escobar’s progression:
Pope: “I think he’s made a good deal of physical progress over this offseason. I think maybe he made his biggest commitment to working with Mike Wolski in the weight room and those guys. He looks better; he looks more physical and he looks like he’s got a bigger frame with more muscle mass on it. A good part of that’s because a lot of our catches are arriving at about the same time as the defender does. If you’re not physically strong enough to absorb that blow and hang onto the ball, then the quarterback is not going to throw it to you. So that’s been a big thing from the time of the end of the season to when we started our work in the spring. This needs to be, and hopefully will be, a breakout year for him. We’re down a little bit at receiver right now with some of the injuries. So he’s getting more opportunities right now at camp than he might have if we had six or seven receivers that we’re trying to evaluate or play with. He’s taking over some of those roles of some of those receiver positions.”
