FRISCO - The Cowboys have figured something out.
When your tight end depth chart lists two college football players followed by a college basketball star, you adjust your teaching perspective.
With Rico Gathers, they're doing just that.
"Some of that is letting him have a little bit of freedom to how he runs a corner route vs. somebody else," offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said. "We try to put it exactly this way and sometimes that probably slows him down. We're working on getting him to feel more confident ... about his matchup."
Gathers hasn't caught a regular-season reception in the NFL since the Cowboys drafted him in 2016.
