Rico Gathers acknowledges that work in the running game “is not really his strong suit”

It’s going to be interesting to see how we look back on the Rico Gathers era in Dallas.

Will he end up being a contributing player who helped the team, or will he be relegated to just a hyped-up persona who’s potential was never truly realized?

Things feel like they’re trending towards the latter these days, especially when Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said just this Wednesday that Rico has a better understanding of the passing game than the running game. This might sound like a classic backhanded compliment, but what he said about the running game matters.
