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.

Moss's contribution was underappreciated. Guy was a stud.

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


The reason we were running up the middle is because we couldn't contain the edge.

So catch 22...

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.
There may be 10 of these in the NFL (maybe) so setting your expectation here is unrealistic at best. Most folks need a reality check...


100% agree it's rare to find a TE that's a true receiving threat and great blocker.


Wait, you're telling me that not every team has a Brock Bowers? In reading some of these posts I thought it was only us who didn't have one.

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….
The TEs we brought in had seven combined receptions last year, so it is hard to be confident they will catch the ball in key situations!

That's not bad since Klein only called 7 pass plays to them all year.

Dang!!!!!!

Thor drops one ball all year and we keep getting posts such as this.

If this is all you can see, look harder!!!
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.

Not really.

The OL wasn't that bad and drastically improved from the previous year
