Twitter: Stephen Jones - Rico Gathers a work in progress

Still has to become #2.

Ok put him in the slot and call him # 2

 

[Cowpolk]

Witten runs no where near a 4.66 forty now.

Yes he does

Witten can be a very effective #2 for a few years if he's lucky health wise. He might even win a SB that way and i am sure he wants that most of all.

 

[Bullflop]

His game-speed sure ain't 4.66.
Unless you care to differ...

I can't help but wonder about that myself. That time might well have been recorded who knows when!

 

[Cowpolk]

I agree and i also think Witten can be a very effective #2 for a few years if he's lucky health wise.

Lucky? Do you know how many games he has missed since 2003?

Is he getting younger or older? We all need to be lucky in this life. We might be dead tomorrow.

Not sure about that length of time but until someone proves being his superior, it's likely fair to say the TE job is his to wrest it from.

oNLY IF WE BRING pACMAN BACK

 

[Corso]

Who here thinks, or believes, or remotely has studied Wittens running last year?
He play like a burner? Like he's a 4.6, 40 TE?

Dude plays like a 5.9 slogger that uses his body and intelligent savvy to create open pockets and then gets nowhere after he catches the ball he worked so hard for.

 

[Sarek]

Not sure about that length of time but until someone proves his superior, it's likely fair to say the job is his to overcome.

Yes based on what we have now. I don't know the draft that well but if someone is out there who can compete with him for the starting spot we should at least consider drafting a TE like that, if there is one. We need someone to change the pace from the TE spot for a good portion of the game, there's still room for Witten to contribute and produce in a offense like that.

 

[dallasdave]

Yes he does

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I don't see us drafting a TE this year. I think these guys are determined to make something out of Rico.

I could see us getting someone like Izzo in round 7. Other than that, I agree with you.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Not exactly the same, but you can always compare things. Rebounding is all about shielding guys off for position, just with your back instead of your front. You'll often see less aggressive pushing and shoving on the football field. It's more an issue of will and tenacity than explosive hitting.

If you have the will and tenacity in basketball, that's a good sign for having it for football.

Well, if you are Tony Gonalez, that works. Not so much for Rico. He seems more interested in his career as a rapper.

 

[dallasdave]

Lucky? Do you know how many games he has missed since 2003?

NONe

 

[xwalker]

Witten at his fastest ran a 4.65 40 that is great for a guy his size he still runs a 4.66 40 yep that is slower

Witten still runs a 4.65...ten yard dash.

Rico can go the way of Martellus.

 

[dallasdave]

He intends to play until he is 40

And then some !!!

 

[Bullflop]

He works like a demon in the offseason -- each and every one. That much I know. Still, there's a limit as to how long he can go.

 

[dallasdave]

If it worked...this would be the best ever! I can only hope. Imagine 4th and 10 on the 11 NFC championship game against the Packers. 30 sec left Dallas 21 packers 27. Story Book.

The Rico ACT !!!
