we tried this and failed vs sips...w bigger players
Moss's contribution was underappreciated. Guy was a stud.vander54 said:
We know we were bad vs tu but we were 7 of 7 running the ball with 2 yards or less vs Auburn and 3 of 6 vs South Carolina. We were one of the best teams in college before Moss's injury.

We gotta have somebody to block on the edge while we run up the middle for no gain…

At most we have 3 returning TEs. We signed 1 in our class. That makes 4 max
We need to have at least 4/5 that are a receiving threat and another 2/3 that are more for blocking. Ideally you have a mix of receiving abd blocking in one TE but you will still need that TE that is more of an OT for goalline/short yardage.
So 6/7 TE going into next year is probably the magic number.
100% agree it's rare to find a TE that's a true receiving threat and great blocker.

Look's like we are accepting anyone who will say "yes" at this point. I have friends who had that dating strategy.

Uhm….that makes 6 rcvrs/TE's we've captured…
1. Was the TE room that depleted/lacking of talent? I guess when you drop the ball at key times in the game, this is what you get….
2. It sure seems that we have extreme confidence in the maroon goons we have on campus that they can keep Reed protected enough to throw to these guys…
We'll see….
If you watch the replay, the pass was not thrown in front of Thor where he could easily catch it. He was wide open but he had to turn to try to catch it. I think he was a really good TE that didn't get thrown to enough.LB12Diamond said:
Dang!!!!!!
Thor drops one ball all year and we keep getting posts such as this.
If this is all you can see, look harder!!!
