  • With no Cole Beasley (sore hamstrings) and Lucky Whitehead coming off the field early in the practice, that left Ryan Switzer as the primary slot receiver. Switzer made the play of the day on a throw from Dak Prescott during a team period. Switzer, lined up in the slot, broke hard to the inside then out against zone coverage. Orlando Scandrick passed him off to Jeff Heath, who was late to break in coverage toward the sideline. Prescott threw the ball behind Switzer, who had to adjust to catch the ball one-handed with the left side of his body instead of with both hands out front. Switzer was also able to get both feet in bounds before tumbling off the field.
  • I heard Jason Garrett praise Rico Gathers for his route running during practice, which has come a long way since last season. Gathers has a much better feel for how to get off the line, plant his foot and get settled to work up the field. Gathers also had a nice drive block on Taco Charlton where he was able to get under him and push him wide. Darren McFadden read the block clearly and ducked right the inside of Gathers for a solid pickup. Gathers and Connor Hamlett received the majority of the snaps while Jason Witten took a veteran day off.

The Patriots signed him on September 5th of last season and was on their practice squad until the Colts put him on their 53.

The Patriots figured out he was so bad they claimed him off waivers this May after the Colts released him. (note they were 32nd in the waiver order)

Even we didn't sign him twice. I Agree about the 3 years on our part, but lets try to portray what happened with the Patriots correctly.

In a perfect world that is what would be best, but I think the team has seen that they can not count on Green to stay healthy.

And how does that affect what we're doing? Getting Collins ready at RT. We know he can go at guard.

Ok it's correct to say that he lasted a total of 38 days with the Patriots

Sept 5 to sept 21 on their practice squad. Then reclaimed May 2 to May 24

I said it took the Patriots 30 days to figure out he was no good. It was instead 38 days. My apologies

:lmao:
