Tony Gonzalez, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow Jr.

lmao.. where did Meeks say he was going to run things like Trgo did?

TC already shows he isn't running the things the same..

[RabidCat]

The idea that we can't cover tight ends is fairly outdated.

I agree. This was one of the chronic problems with our D UNITL we drafted TD and Beason. How many TE's burned us last year?

[Delhommey]

I hope someone starts complaining about how much we run draws so this thread can be a complete football fail.

[frash.exe]

It's still 6 games against top TEs in the league.

Shockey missed games and still ranked 11th in receptions among TEs.

Winslow also missed games and recorded 40+ receptions, and has been known to haul in 80+.

Gonzo is still getting ridiculous production even at his advanced age for an NFL player.

whether or not we've improved it's going to be a tough challenge regardless and our linebackers and safeties better be up to snuff.

Consider who the OP is.

Ryan could be leaning big time on Tony G if White doesn't report. THEORETICALLY that would make things a bit easier for Carolina.

I don't know what to expect from Shockey and KWII though. I am pretty sure that Payton was a bit torqued at Shockey last year and Davidson SHOULD know KWII's weaknesses pretty well which may help.

Not skeered of those TE's. It wouldn't matter who was playing TE in NO with Brees throwing all over the yard, we've got to defend the pass on every play. Tampa's QB situation is bad, so Winslow is not a real threat (but he IS a fugging soldier), and Gonzalez is old as hell. Plus, we have our secret weapon for TE defense. Let them catch it over the middle, turn up field, then Chris Harris strips the ball for the turnover. See Antonio Gates and Greg Olsen from last year.

Its all how you look at it:

Gonzo is old and has maybe 2 good years max left in him.

Shockey was average at best last year in a pass-happy offense. They could of plugged in almost anyone there and got the same results.

Winslow could be the most dangerous of the group, but he is inconsistent...had a couple good years but he did nothing spectacular last season. He could have a similar type year as last year, considering he has no stable Qb option again.

Which one has three testicles? :confused:

I thought they had three testicles collectively...not sure how they're divided out though.

So much so that he had fifty catches in a year with a new offense and injuries.

and ZERO td's... considering you guys traded a 2nd and a 5th for him he was terrible last year.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Where were you guys after Meeks was hired? Everyone, including Fox and Meeks, said not to expect much to change.

[Saint J]

and ZERO td's... considering you guys traded a 2nd and a 5th for him he was terrible last year.

Considering he will be here long term it's dumb to grade a trade on one year. The main problem with Shockey seemed to be his problem with picking up and fitting into the offense, with a full offseason in the books he looks a lot more comfortable.

50 catches in the Saints offense is like 20 in a not insane one. Everyone gets 50 catches.
