Great idea -- Additionally, Cam Newton should be moved to his OT. With his athleticism at the position, there would finally be some decent protection for...wait a minute...

If Cam was the size as an OT, then so be it because he isnt performing well at QB. Our WRs are TEs.

After all, we were successful at converting Matt Ryan to OT. Shouldn't be hard.

A couple of months in the cafeteria and he would be the size of an OT. Point is, switching a guy in his mid-20s isn't usually a great idea.

Still going to be a receiver, just lining up different. I dont think it would be that hard to learn the plays as a TE.

The plays would be fine, but the techniques (both blocking and receiving closer to the line) would be tough to just pick up. 

Some recently 'converted TEs': Darren Walker, Aaron Peck, Cole Gardner -- most guys who make the jump are first year players, and even they don't have a great hit rate. There's a reason why it hasn't been done much.

As a pass catching, route running playmaker who lines up similarly to a TE I could absolutely see either Funch or KB in that role.

The issue becomes, they cannot run or pass block like every other TE is asked to do on a regular basis. I mean, Funch was a TE in college and still can't block a dang CB without getting called for holding. Same with KB.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
