Drafting a TE


Recommended Posts

The only thing wrong with our TE's in the past is that they had no one to throw them the ball.

exactly :D

i think that before all is said and done, barnidge will beat out rosario and king for the starting job. because he's gotten some experience now, he can run block better now, and he can catch just as good, if not, better than rosario. but to have two run blocking tight ends, and two receiving tight ends (cause barnidge can do both) gives our opponents an extra element to prepare for. our offense is gonna be deadly this season. i don't care what anyone says. just straight up pwning teams all year long.

Barnidge is a beast probably the best all around tight end on this team, I can almost guarantee that he will have a break out yr with moore behind center, but I like the fact that our TE's are underrated bc when gametime comes they show up and the opposing team had not gameplanned for it.

Our 3 TE's caught 63 passes last year even with Delhomme having such a bad season. We're fine at that position. The reason all these outsiders think we need a TE, is because they just look at the individual TE numbers seperately instead of looking at their combined numbers, which were pretty damned good for a running football team with QB problems.

I keep seeing this over and over again. We need to draft a TE. We need a pass catching TE......

NO WE DON'T!

Dante Rosario is a pretty amazing pass catcher!

At least half of the people who say that we need a Tight End on these boards are making fun of Mel Kiper. Get in on the joke. :)

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
