![]() ![]() He said something that Prescott has to continue to work on. But he also acknowledged they have yet to make consistent connections if any, and it remains a work in progress.Ĭoach Jason Garrett followed up with the media, saying that Prescott is a good deep ball throwing and has made some big connections down the field in his career. ![]() He said on the NFL Network that he is excited about the deep speed of Tavon Austin and Deonte Thompson and has fun airing it out them in practice. Prescott’s ability to throw the deep ball has been questioned since his rookie season. Surprisingly, Prescott listed receiver Cole Beasley as the person he would trust to target in those situations right now based on their past success. He wondered if Prescott had anyone he trusted yet to go to on 3rd and 6 when he needed a first down as he often did to Witten and Bryant in the past. It was interesting listening to Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner interview Prescott along with Irvin on the NFL Network. Hill offers up some impressions from yesterday's activities in Oxnard. If he earns it, then some of us (raises hand) may have to eat a lot of crow.Ĭowboys QB Dak Prescott said Cole Beasley has earned his trust - Clarence Hill, Fort Worth Star-Telegram ![]() That could throw a curve at the staff, forcing them to keep nine O linemen.īut Green is putting up a real fight to be the swing tackle, something that seemed unimaginable just a few weeks ago. There has been some discussion of whether Fleming is better at the RT spot, with Green maybe having an edge at LT. It was thought that Cameron Fleming was going to walk in and just take Green’s spot on the roster, but that is not looking nearly so certain, as Fleming has not been as consistent as he should. But they didn’t, and Green spent a lot of time working on his game in the offseason.Īfter some rough early days in camp (including having to leave practice for the hydration issues he always seems to be fighting), he has started to show up in a better way, winning some reps. Byron Jones, Terrance Williams, Taco Charlton, Charles Tapper, and Rico Gathers make Ryle’s list, but perhaps the biggest surprise on this list is Chaz Green.Īfter the dismal job he did a year ago, it would not have been a surprise if the team had released him.

Rico Gathers’ transition from a college basketball star to an NFL tight end has seen plenty of bumps along the way, but the third-year player seems ready to make it on the field in the regular season. Here’s what the full depth chart currently looks like, with returning players marked in green, rookies marked in yellow, and trade/free agent additions marked in orange:Ĭowboys TE Rico Gathers eager to log game experience in ‘18 - Logan Reardon, NFL.com Rico Gathers is listed third so rookie Dalton Schultz still has some work to do apparently.Īlso a little surprising: Kony Ealy is listed as a second-stringer ahead of both Dorance Armstrong and Charles Tapper. Many have suspected that Geoff Swaim and Blake Jarwin are the favorites at tight end and this first depth chart corroborates that idea. Darius Jackson did get the nod over Bo Scarbrough which will likely shock some people, but the truth is Darius is a better option as of now. Unsurprisingly Connor Williams is starting at left guard for the Cowboys. The scoop of the day comes from Ochoa, who posted the first article on the first official Cowboys depth chart of 2018, which offers up a few surprises: 2018 Cowboys depth chart released: Rookie starter, Rico Gathers third-string, Kony Ealy second-string - RJ Ochoa, Blogging The Boys ![]()
