Ed Dickson is a terrible option next to Olsen, and he has proven that. If we are going to use him as our FB I would think someone has lost their mind. This is why I wanted us to draft a solid #2 tight end in this last draft class, because it was stacked at that position. Nope!

2018 class will be better

Last I heard, Corn was only out a month or two from the time he went out with the injury.  Not saying he would be a world beater withh all of that time missed, but a lot of people were excited to have him.  And for Armah to have made it to the active 53 in the first place tells us the staff think he can contribute...  it's why this is so baffling to me.  I know the FB isn't as important as it used to be, but we certainly ran a lot of plays with them lead blocking in the preseason...  Idk, maybe it signals we will go singleback/pass heavy in week 1?

But yeah, the 2 kickers thing...  And now announcing that Gano will start in week 1? Really, really dumb and a waste of a roster spot.  Cut or trade Gano and move on.

Not sure where you heard that about Corn. We've been saying for a month he's going to be IRed. I've touched on the Armah thing way too many times in these threads to repeat it. Check the thread about the FBs if you're interested in knowing. Short version = Dickson was always going to be the lead blocker in the Iformation this season.

Why is it you thought he'd be IRed and Jeremy thought he'd be ready to roll soon?

He's been a poor blocker, especially for a second TE where that's his only job. He's a better receiver than blocker, though that's not saying a ton or helping us when we mainly have him block.

He sure looked pretty good blocking on that CMC TD vs the Titans and that first drive against the Jags. Has he done much blocking out of the backfield before this season?

Not sure what the obsession with Alex Armah is about.

Think this thread is more about dumping Young and relying on Dickson in that role than Armah. Jeremy never alluded to Armah being ready to contribute on offense this year.

I can't answer for anyone else other than us. Short version = he hasn't practiced once and there was never any real timetable for his return from injury. 

I was just curious about the difference in opinions. Hope he's ready to come back next year and challenge for the second CB spot
