Hmmm.... I'm about to jump off this hype train. Being a sore loser doesn't help anyone.... guess I'll jump over to the Lewis Neal train before it gets to full lol

I'm basing this comment on a couple different times this has happened, not just this one.

I've always thought that the team should only carry 3 TEs into 2017 but struggled to figure out how they'd cut one of the 4 TEs. Problem solved. Hopefully Swaim and Hannah stay healthy as Gathers is a 6'7" Diva.

Blake Jarwin, remember the name. If Gathers doesn't showcase in the preseason, Jarwin could claw his way onto the 53.

Dez is also an established name and player in this league. Rico hasnt even caught a meaningful pass yet. Please stop bringing Dez into this. The comparison is not even close.
I was at training camp when Dez was a rookie.

He had more meltdowns than I can count.

The entire situation is being overblown. Rico will learn. He's a UDFA trying to make the 53 and prove he belongs. He is behind in experience and that gets him frustrated also. Give him a month and see where he's at. He isn't the first to act out this way. Like X said, the Cowboys had a first round draft pick do the same thing.

Remind me, did Dez start on the PS? Or was he automatically taking snaps with the first team? You are comparing a stud WR to a guy who hasnt played football since High School? Just to put your agenda into the conversation. Dez has no relevance in this thread. At all.

All of these scuffles are a microcosm of what kind of people the Cowboys are drafting. Too many of our players have little self-control on & off the field. That is why we lead the league in suspensions. I know the Browns were bad last year, but they are building something special, & it starts with the kind of human beings they've brought in the last two years. Just this past draft alone, the first five players they picked are all humble, sold young men who just want to work hard & do well. The last two drafts, they've drafted THREE Nigerian born players-Emmanuel Ogbah, David Njoku, & Larry Ogunjobi, in the first three rounds. I don't think it's a coincidence. I believe it's because most African blacks are raised to be respectful, humble, & work hard for what they get. I believe it's smart, & will begin to pay off for them in the near future. CHARACTER does matter. I just wish the Cowboys would start doing the same.

This has got to stop. So what? A player got heated during practice. A raw player got beat in a blocking drill. So freaking what? When I see players breaking each other's jaws over losing a battle, I'll start to care. Otherwise, stop making this stuff out to be more than it is.

Go have a beer or something, folks. You're wrapped up in this a little too much.

Rico has three capable tight ends performing better at camp than he is right now. If they all stay healthy, it's a gamble on whether or not he makes the 53. He should be focusing on that instead of throwing off his helmet, IMO, given his precarious position.

It's also only been a dang week, Sepia. With all due respect. Let's see what the kid can do as he gets settled in.
