Sham: Rico Gathers Reason Enough To Watch Some Preseason Football

[waving monkey]

The Arizona Cardinals’ head coach obviously isn’t afraid of the NFL sheriff. “None of our starters is playing” in Thursday night’s Hall of Fame game against the Cowboys, Bruce Arians said early in the week.

You won’t hear such a proclamation from Cowboys’ head coach Jason Garrett. Garrett has tried to be honest before and has heard from the NFL’s Madison Avenue suits, who apparently are operating on the misapprehension that if you don’t actually tell fans none of the star players is appearing in most preseason games, the fans won’t catch on, and they won’t mind paying those regular-season prices for tryouts and auditions.

Whatever. We have bigger fish to fry. They’re not fining me, so I’ll tell you. Maybe three of the Cowboys’ starters play in Canton, and them not for long.

This are ridiculous.


Love, Goober.

One respected veteran player suggested the other day, “You guys (media) aren’t helping by overhyping him. He’s an athlete, but it takes a lot to play in the NFL. He’s not there.”

It's good to hear he'll be getting a lot of snaps in preseason. He needs some "real" playing time, preseason or not. I'm optimistic but have tapped the brakes.

Best opening thread response,,, EVER!

Rico and Jaylon may be the most over-hyped rookies ever to don a Cowboys' uniform but among the most interesting as well. I'll be watching them and many of our other youngsters with great interest. Win or lose, it'll make this game a real treat for sure. I can't believe it's finally happening!

Ya but his my over hyped pet cat. I sense I could have some disappointment or long wait
on Rico but I think he'll be worth the effort.Many that work with him say so.

The starters who I think need to play are:

La'el Collins
Jonathan Cooper
Nolan Carroll
Jeff Heath

The rest can sit, although I wouldn't mind seeing Cedric Thornton out there as well.

Yes, I think Thornton needs some reps. I want to see Heath out there longer than one series also, same for Carroll.
I would like to see how Butler does as well.

Maybe we'll see a helmet throw

Most interested in, and in no particular order.
Gather, Noah Brown, Hillman, Rod Smith, Andy Jones, Butler, and how the 3 WR's compare with each other, though depends on what QB is playing and if against 2nd or 3rd team guys.
Hanna and Swaim and how they look after recovery from injuries.
Collins at OT, Cooper, Cleary

Wacha, Lotulelei at LB, Taco, Thornton, Tapper, Moore, Paea, Ivie, Neal
Carroll, Heath, Awuzie, Frazier, Blanton, Woods, White, also Leon McFadden to see if he improved any. and the conversion of J. Showers to S.

Neal's my pet cat, so I definitely want to see him out there. I have a great interest in Andy Jones as well because he was doing so well in camp last year and we never saw it in the preseason games.

I'll be keeping a close eye on all of the young defensive linemen and defensive backs (Charlton, Tapper, Ivie, Carrell, Awusie, White, Woods).

One highly placed Cowboys executive said days after the April draft that “Gathers will make the 53 man roster.” Most coaches and scouts agree exposing him to waivers this year would almost certainly mean losing him. The organization is not interested in that result.

I hope his spot is earned not given. The Cowboys need football players not physical specimens.

Excellent read...thanks for sharing!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Rico is one guy I'm really looking forward to seeing.

Also eager to Kevon Frazier with extended time playing in coverage.

 

[kevm3]

Rico needs to be out there, Jaylon needs to be out there, Chidobe needs to be out there. I want to see Xavier Woods as well.
