JG said there ain’t much else to do. He has to play football. He need snaps. Are they going to give them to him is the question. He needs to work on his blocking and focus on the presnap and assignments. Witten used to false start once a game. So I am not concerned about that. What is strange is that they have hidden him on PS and IR instead of getting him experience. I guess they are letting him practice as much as possible. This is the last year for him. He must break out in preseason if he is going to make the 53.I watched ALL of TE Rico Gathers highlights last year before his unfortunate injury and he played "lights out"! He is a man child. Dude can run with a huge body and big hands like no one else. He cannot be covered!
Recently, Coach Garrett mentioned ALL tight ends on the team EXCEPT Rico to the media. I smell a BIG RAT, in the respect that Rico is INDEED Coach Garretts "Favorite TE"on the team! I personally believe, the coach got upset with Rico claiming to be so great on twitter....bragging etc. before he had actually done anything. I like what the coach is doing, getting his attention to focus on the team and keep humble.
From Todd Archer: The good of Rico Gathers: he made a nice adjustment on a back-shoulder throw from Cooper Rush. The bad of Rico Gathers: He had a false start in the final compete period and was sent to the sideline.
Rico is having a very good camp so far, and I believe his only downside is experience and focus. If he can stay mentally focused on the field (i.e. NO off sides/missed routes etc.) and keep out of the media then our coach has HUGE RICO plans this year!
Am I Crazy for thinking this way?

Strange why they won’t let him. He must be really green. He looked good in preseason except the blocking. And he only made a few small coachable mistakes there. What do you think the issue is?

He is starting to remind me of bennett. I like some swag but he has to make the team and make some plays first.
I can't gauge anything preseason.
I know the injury was bs. He was hurt but not for that long. They been stashing and grooming this kid but I believe they are out of options now. It’s go time. Wondering if his attitude is bad or his blocking is that horrid? Hoping he is the star someone on the staff thinks he is.
Maybe he's not showing in practice that he's ready or capable of playing. If so, we just got rid of a WR that most on here rag on because he didn't perfect his skills outside of the game so why would we keep a TE that hasn't played football since 8th grade? Regardless of what anyway thinks of them, this staff would be investing heavily in him if he was showing enough progress.
That means he will be first team TE.
actually I have watched several clops from camp and compared to others, he looks really slow and doesn't seem to make sharp cuts. he is just big and uses his body to shield for the catch. I think he is on the bubble. I don't think he is having a good camp. but then you are fan, so you turn blindI watched ALL of TE Rico Gathers highlights last year before his unfortunate injury and he played "lights out"!

That's exactly what will happen. Pet cats will be cut or traded, some will not make the practice squad and we will have to listen how terrible the front office is for cutting those guys
that's what I see. his feet seem slow. he does look big, but has no wiggle.
I think he is on a short leash. I doubt if we keep 4 TEs. He has to prove he can play against 1st and 2nd stringers and if he doesn't he probably won't make it. we can't go long on every position and I think we probably will go 3 QBs, 6 WR and 10 DL. that puts his position in jeapordy
he may get snatched by the likes of browns, but I don't forsee him turning into anything special.
That's my line of thinking as well. Was hoping to only carry 2 QBs but I just don't see it without a trade. If it was a trade Rush would be the one traded and that leaves us with a 5th round rookie as a backup. Maybe next year we only go with 2 QBs but this year almost has to be 3
Why 3 QB? We may be able to put White on PS without him getting poached. Unless he rips it up in preseason. He will have to be really good to unseat Rush at 2.
