Rico's catch

[Boyzmamacita]

I know it was just one play, but just like last week, it was a big play that we need to see more of. With Swaim's emergence, adding Rico as a weapon would make the TE position go from a weakness to a strength. If we can't make Rico a red zone threat, then make him a chain mover. I know he's green, but he's like a big bull out there catching the ball.

Ive heard the so called scouts say he’s incredibly slow but on that one I thought he showed NFL caliber TE speed.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

piece of cake .

They are a long way away from being what I feel this offense needs but I like what I've seen thus far. Its clear Swaim is the best of the bunch and Rico has potential to do damage if you can just get him the football.

 

[sureletsrace]

Rico's YAC potential alone makes me want him to get at least 3 targets a game.

Witten wasn’t no cheetah in his prime.....

Rico > Jarwin

Time to move him up the depth chart.

Exactly what I thought (and posted in the game thread). Looks a lot more natural there. And he didn’t fumble, which I was fully expecting when he went into a crowd.

It’s time for Rico to be the #1 TE. I hear his blocking used as an excuse for why he’s not on the field more. Well you bring up Witten. The last few years of his career he was an atrocious blocker. If he wasn’t missing blocks, he was either getting holding calls or false start calls due to cheating. Why does Rico have to be a Swaim level blocker? Rico is exactly the kind of security blanket that Dak needs. Rico as a developing 1 and Swaim as a rock solid 2 is something this team could work with.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Rico and Swaim should be primary TE’s, Jarwin is hot garbage.

 

[Idgit]

Rico might be fool's gold. Or he might be that kind of player who gets better and better the more you use him until he actually becomes an impact player. I bet they're going to find out here.

It's good to see Swaim delivering on his opportunities. Wish Jarwin would do the same.

Yeah, it's time to stop trying to make Jarwin a thing. Give those reps to Rico.

Rico is, unfortunately, where he was a year in being a freak of nature that still doesn't know the mental side of the game the way he should. But I do think Rico and Jarwin will be good players next year with more experience (and weight room work for Jarwin). I still don't see Swaim as a starting TE but he is holding his own, but I do see Rico and Jarwin being pretty good players in 2019.

Jarwin is a failed experiment, at this point I cut him and move Schultz up into his spot.

That’s exactly what he did on that play. Watch the end of the play, he dealt a blow to #97, who had to go off the field to catch his breath after the play.

Antonio Gates had three catches through his first nine NFL games, but hey, you keep doing you.

I haven't rewatched the tape yet but didn't it take two or three guys to bring Rico down on that play?

 

[Dylan88Wilson]

His block on that 4th down conversion was what impressed me the most. He wiped two defenders out of the play.

This is hardly Jarwin's first 9 NFL games.
