Might've also helped if he hadn't spent all flipping year on IR for a concussion suffered in TC. That move continues to perplex me.
I like Rico. He has all the physical tools. He is raw much like Dez was coming out of school. He has started playing football again after so many years of not playing. He is slowing becoming and thinking like a football player and not a basketball player. He has to unlearn little things he learned playing basketball and relearn and apply different techniques that apply to football. In basketball if you are running a pick and roll with The PG and the Center from the top of the key , they don't need the power forward to go post by the basket bringing his man. What I'm saying is he doesn't know how to setup or how to counter defenders on routes because he probably doesnt fully understand what every one else's responsibility is on every play and how they can counter. He has to go where he can help Dak and not go to an area where his man or another teammates man can make a play on the ball and he needs to know that he isn't the only one trying to get the ball but he needs to play within the coaches play or concept. When I watch him it's like he feels like all he has to do is get open and play by himself. No you have teammates who are trying to get open as a well. And you don't want to make them detour or get in their way all the time. Some plays require you to think on your feet and that's what u think he downstairs have quite yet. I don't know how much of a professional he is on and off the field and in the class room, but thats what Jason Garrett loves he lives guys who want to set an example and not just be your own man doing what you want, even if you're good. If Rico can become a pro, learn not just what he needs to to but the team is doing in each play and on top of that become a blocker. He is going to be a star because he has the raw tools.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?
GO COWBOYS SUPER BOWL BOUND!
Neither Jarwin or Swaim have ever set the world on fire since leaving high school....i'm not sure they even set high school football on fire.
Change my mind...give me proof...how has he improved? He's got the same issues he had when he signed with us......what three years and going on no snaps in games...proof....change my mind...if you have proof...
Nice try but thats not how this works.

Proof of what?
Results, I used the wrong word...he needs to start showing results....What I dont want is another, I think his name is Manuel Johnson (wide receiver), if that his name...remember where he stayed on the Cowboys for five years and could never get on the field but we kept him because of his potential...dont want another player like...relax dude Geesh!
