Why not two tight end sets?

[Jmac]

They have Olsen, Dicksen, Lucas and Williams. Some threads on here suggest that they should just pound the ball and play stout defense or trade to upgrade the WR position. It appears to me that the TE position MIGHT become a strength (along with the running game), now that they have lost K.B. Olsen is one of the best in the game, Dicksen picked his game up the end of last year and Lucas may be a find at this position.  Brandon Williams is still yet to see major playing time and may or may not pan out.

Can Shula be counted on to use these guys correctly?  That is the big question. Think they can make it work to supplement the WR corp that we now have......agree or disagree?

Did anyone not follow twitter today? Ginn boykin Olsen and Dicksen were railing off plays today. Lots of 2 te looks. I dunno what Jeremy was seeing that everyone else wasn't

[rodeo]

All of our TEs besides Olsen suck. Not sure what putting more of them on the field would help.

What is this tale about two-TE sets of which you speak?  I have heard talk of such a thing before. 

Perhaps necessity will finally bring this myth to light,  even under the oppression of Shula. 

[rodeo]

It was a thing brought up constantly last offseason, and Shula gave interviews specifically saying we would see a lot of it.

We did, they were just both blocking.

When Tolbert came back and Dixon did not have to block and started to catch on it was in 2 TE sets.

I love the idea of going 2 TE set with Funch on one side and Ginn/Brown on the other, then after pounding them from this look putting out the burn unit in Ginn/Brown/Byrd and see if a nickel back can keep up with sub 4.3 speed.

Do we still have Chud?

I think if marcus given the chance can be a tremendous help

[The Huddler]

I think dickson can be alot better than last year. When tolnert was hurt I always saw Ed in the backfield moving around and being in a blocking role. He wasnt able to be in his natural spot next to a tackle and going out for a pass. Towards the end of the season when tolbert was back, see saw Ed catching ALOT more passes

 

rodeo must not have paid close attention to last season and this preseason. Ed doesnt suck. He needs targets, and to not shift around in the backfield.

On passing downs, not problem.

 

Running out of the two tight end set ... not so much. I would prefer a fullback than a TE in motion acting as a FB. The Panthers TE's aren't exactly the best blockers aside from Brockel.

Bingo <- times one hundred. This is exactly what happened to our offense last year. Too many weapons had to help Bell or other individuals.

[jdpanther5]

Definitely think we'll see more of Dickson this year, not sure if that means we'll keep both Williams and Lucas though. Also not sure if we'll still keep 6 receivers, may just go with 5 and focus on the ground game. Could mean like 6 of Stewart, Fozzy, CAP, Todman, Wegher, Tolbert, Ward, and Brockel.
