2nd TE

Biggest missing piece on the chess board.

Agreed the 2nd TE has been a weak point this year.  But to use that Shockley example is a Horrible comparison.  Dickson is a Good pass catching TE.  He's looked Good whenever Olsen has gone down.  Remember the dart Cam threw 2 inches from the falcons guys head to Dickson in the back of the end zone wide open.  

Chud liked to use those 2 TE sets but they were 2 receiving TE sets.  Had Shula been here then we'd be freaking out how bad Shockey or Olsen was in that blocking TE role.  Shula uses the 2nd TE primarily as a blocker and Dickson can't block to save his life.  It's like using Tolbert (even in his prime) as a example as a primary blocking FB like a Hoover. Tolbert could run and pass catch for a FB.  One of the better FBs to do that but was a horrible blocker.  Has he spent his career on a team that uses him as a primary blocker he would've been out of the league

I believe that will be an emphasis next year if things play out like I think/hope they will . 

If anyone noticed the sheer amount of roster spots preseason we had set aside for TE. I felt like the game plan coming in from the off season was to establish two dual threat TE's, maybe a third. It's the relatively new tweak (advantage) that some teams have been using. We tried and didn't find the talent. 

Wont be surpised if we try the same thing next year, just a bit more aggressively.
