McClay (2017) on Rico in practice - "We can't stop him" against 1st teamers **merged**

[Risen Star]

Start Rico.

This team doesn't have the balls but it's their best option.

 

[aria]

Call Witten.

 

[Ranching]

Call Witten.

Or Novacek

 

[Aven8]

I would play Rico or sign Antonio Gates at 74 years old.

 

[Setackin]

Cut Shultz. I don't think anyone picks him up. Put him on PS. Take the chance

If Shultz can’t separate himself from a guy with as little experience as Rico, then no thank you, I’ll take to potential upside.

 

[Risen Star]

Call Witten.

The guy who quit on his team in the middle of the draft?

Hero.

 

[bodi]

have they been hiding his talent??

or is that bad he can't even start ?

So his passcatching was called "unstoppable" against 1st teamers, but yet there are people who claim Rico is nothing special? That was in 2017, so people seriously now think he 'forgot' how to be unstoppable???

furthermore, Broaddus said during an episode of The Draft Show this week. “I will say this. I had people come up to me and say, cause I was always curious about Rico [Gathers], I had people come up to me and say ‘You ought-of seen what [Tony] Romo did with him today, ... Cause Romo was with him on scout team. And Romo just kept throwing him the ball because he was so much bigger. He was battling [Barry] Church, he’s battling [Byron] Jones, he’s battling [J.J.] Wilcox and [Jeff] Heath. The kid just kept making plays. The problem is not the athletic ability, it’s the mental side…he just hasn’t played football”

he nevered played ?

 

[Risen Star]

Did you know both of those guys used to play basketball?

Or Novacek

Hell at this point I’d call billy joe dupree

He hasn't. If they keep him, itll be solely because he was a 4th round pick

 

[Ranching]

Hell at this point I’d call billy joe dupree

Jackie Smith want a second chance!!! Lol!

 

[Flamma]

Is there a Doug Cosbie out there somewhere?

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Call Witten.

Is there a Doug Cosbie out there somewhere?

I'm sorry but the numbers you have been trying to reach or not in service please hang up and try again

 

[Radiashun]

But if he does stay AND play, what are the odds the play calling will take advantage of his possible physical advantage?

This is really the wrong conversation to have. The discussion about TEs should center around why can't Garrett and Linehan adjust their offense to use his skills. He is not a complete TE right now but he has shown the skills from day one to contribute on Sundays if just put on the field in the right circumstances with plays designed for him to do what he can do best. Other teams have TEs on the field that are pass catchers only and they make stars out of them. The problem here is that Garrett and Linehan are trying to force our TEs to be Jason Witten and do exactly what he did and none of them can. They are incapable of changing the offense to fit the skills of a player like Rico and it will kill the offense when none of the other three below average TEs can duplicate what Witten did.

He'll yea!!! Now that is a smart post. All those words to say Garrett sucks!!

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Gavin Escobar is available! Apparently a former 2nd round pick and is only 27?

In all seriousness though, keep Rico, Shultz, and then just flip a coin between Jarwin and Swaim.

According to most he was worthless and a hinderance anyways so what does it matter? Most people considered his retirement a “blessing”.
