Swaim, Hanna Updates

[Gameover]

Swaim and Hanna won't make the 53. Mark it down, you heard it here first.

Swaim is a lock

 

[BAT]

Standard operating proceedure under Garrett is to wait for training camp with players returning from significant injuries.

Gathers, Jarwin and McFarland are not only going to get a lot of reps but will get more attention from position coaches as well. Would say Witten as resource too but we all know Witt doesn't mentor, he competes.

 

[Bullflop]

I figure we will carry 3 TEs, not reason to force it when we already need to think about going long at WR, DL, and DB.

I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being our plan before all is said and done. If Rico has progressed as well as reported and indeed, continues to do so on that level, we might be fine as long as injuries don't compromise us at TE. Even if they do, that's what the practice squad is there for.

You don't update Swaim. Swaim updates you.

 

[speedkilz88]

Yes. Blocking TEs can be found as UDFA every year

TEs that can block are extremely tough to find these days. Spread offenses have almost killed the position.

 

[IrishAnto]

Like I said during the draft, we are really thin at TE...

We have the mighty Rico all is well!!!

 

[Stash]

Hanna is a question mark but I fully expect Swaim to make the 53.

Good reps for Rico and Jarwin though

I'm anticipating some sort of a settlement with Hanna. I think he's done. And even if he claims otherwise, I'm not depending on a player who has taken so long to recover and missed so much time.

 

[Stash]

Gathers will be on the 53. No way he's on ps, he'll be picked up next day.

Oh yeah. It would go as well as the Darius Jackson move did...

At least Gathers has a skill (redzone target) coaches want to keep on the team unlike Jackson.

Jackson has plenty of skills.

They screwed that one up.

Skills that didn't show up in preseason (3.5 ypc) or coaches wanted on the team to keep around.

3.5 you running behind who? How much work did he get with the starting offensive line?

And, did they not "keep him around" for the majority of the season? Is that the part you're trying to claim was the mistake? Let's be clear here.

Really? Again with the preseason OL arguement? And what so called 1st team defenses did he face in preseason? Just as the Cowboys were not playing the majority of the OL in preseason, teams were also doing the same on defense.

Keep around as in still being on the team.

I'm done with the Jackson lovefest. Guess I will move on from this topic.

Well some of us actually watched the preseason and know the OL reserves got their butts handed to them.

Right on cue...

As long as you keep trying to undermine the player, I'll bring up those factors.

You tell me. I don't know who or what opposing defenses were playing.

Keep around as in still being on the team.

As in worthy of being among the 53, for the majority of the season.

Fair enough.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said tight ends Geoff Swaim and James Hanna, who are recovering from foot and knee surgeries, respectively,will not see much or any time during the organized team activities and June minicamp. The plan is to have them ready for the start of training camp in July. Their rehab will give Rico Gathers more snaps in practice to potentially earn a spot.

Thanks for the update

[Satchel89]

I had hope for Swaim. The 2nd Tight End on the Cowboys is doomed. Not a good position on this team for about 14 years.

Like I said during the draft, we are really thin at TE...

It will be a priority in next years draft.
