News: When camp ends, what will be Rico's role

[Yakuza Rich]

Stiff relative to whom? Cole Beasley or MartyB?

I think he has MartyB physical ability but with a better mental makeup.

Stiff relative to NFL caliber TE's.

And Bennett is a stiff route runner as well.

MartyB is bigger than most other TEs.

Rico is bigger than most NFL TEs.

I would not expect them to run routes like Jimmy Graham.

Graham is taller than Bennett. And Bennett isn't exactly a great pass catcher. He's competent and a very good blocker. For Rico, it depends on how stiff he is at running the routes. The stiffer he is, the more limited he will be.

Then there’s Uncle Rico, tight end Rico Gathers. The hype train for Gathers and how he’s grown this off-season is full-speed ahead. The Cowboys didn’t add a tight end this off-season, a sign they are happy with the progress the former basketball player has made. More than anyone, the jump for Gathers might be the biggest, considering he had the farthest to go. But if he’s a player this season, the Cowboys will be borderline impossible to stop on offense.

I thought Rico was destine for the ROH already??? (would love to see the guy pan out for Dallas, of course, but if the hype train was rolling any more quickly around these parts, it might have derailed by now)
