Ian Thomas

Im excited for Thomas.

Kids biggest weakness was blocking but had top athletic traits.

Joe Brady's offense the TE's rarely block.  (See Moss at LSU and Jimmy Graham role in New Orleans)

It's true.

I just asked the NSA and they said The Huddler is pretty damn good.

They also said Microsoft said he needs to get a steamer on those carpet stains.

Maybe the worst attempt at an insult ever posted.

Ovr is an awful way to judge a player in Madden. Unless their a OL or DL, then ratings hardly matter.

We need TE help badly...I don't think that Ian is a top flight starter right now.

Thomas is a solid #2 TE.  With all of Olsen's injuries, he didn't break out.  Granted, he did decently, but he's not someone another team is going to have to account for like Olsen.

He has been hearing the "potential" line since college.  It is time to turn that into production.  I do not think it is fair to expect him to become a star--he is what he is--a 4th rounder with limited college production.

Pay attention to the free agent signing (DeValve) and the undrafted free agents.  An H back type with good hands (Central Michigan)  and a 6-6 receiving TE (former WR).

If I were Armah or Manhertz, I would be a bit nervous.

Armah is too valuable as a do-it-all FB/H-back/TE.  Manhertz is the one that need to step up his game.  Being our QBs bodyguard is eventually going away.  Honestly, he's only mediocre in that role too.

I do not get the love for Armah.  His reps seemed to diminish.  He has 3 catches for 11 yards in his career--as many receptions as tackles.  Did I see any bruising lead blocks?  I cannot recall any.   I do not know how he fits this offense--Brady is more likely to run a spread than a power I. 

  I think Brady will want more--he will want an Hback that can split out wide, motion into a pass route, etc. 

LSU was one of the few schools that used a FB a lot until last season. 

While the rest of the game discarded the position, LSU clung to its fullbacks. The Tigers averaged 5.4 fullbacks on their roster per year over the past decade. But after last season, LSU installed a run-pass option scheme. The Tigers adopted the spread, and now, they sometimes line up five wide receivers during practice.

   This year (2019 with Brady), it has one fullback listed on the roster: Tory Carter.

I got ya, but we need at least one.  He's the best candidate.  Even if CMC has his snaps cut some, it's not going to be to a point were we need to suit up 4 RBs on game day.  Our TE corps is pretty bad.  Again, between suiting up that TE 3 or having a FB on game day, you go with the FB.  Now if you were arguing against having 2 FBs on the 53(55) man roster, I would agree 100%.  Eliminating it altogether so JAGs at RB #4 or TE #3 get  jersey on game day is a bit shortsighted.

I think the old fullback is given away to the modern H-Back. Guys like Marshon Ford at Louisville last year that are basically a cross between a RB and a TE that can line up in the backfield or a long the line.
