TE Tandem

Not much talk about the TE tandem that is emerging.  Manhertz, a punishing blocker, seems to have started to develop hands.  Ian Thomas is not a rookie any longer and should be as good as most team's starting TE.  Olsen, if he can stay healthy, still has something left. The  Panthers have never had a TE corps this good before. 

Considering how the LOL (left offensive line--and I hope LOL is not appropriate) develops, Manhertz could play a bigger role in the blocking scheme, lining up beside Williams to reduce his vulnerability.

2011 Olsen had 540 yrds  5 TD

2011 Shockey had 455 yrds  4 TD 

This would be great , but I think the current TE trio will allow us to spread the ball and dink and dunk when needed. A Win is a Win...

yes--each brings a different skill set too.

I think young Olsen and Shockey were a bit better than what we have currently, but Ian Thomas does have a very high ceiling.

I gotta be honest . . . I had no idea that Manhertz had never played football before the NFL.

When you look at him through that lens, the fact that he can block as well as he can is actually pretty exceptional.  If he adds good hands and decent route running to his game, he's got a chance.

Who was the third TE?  Thomas' numbers as a Rookie :  36 catches, 333ards.

Olsen  27 catches 291 yards in 9 games.

  I think a healthy Olsen and a Thomas that is not a rookie could match those numbers--if you add Manhertz and his blocking/receiving--a more productive/useful tandem?

Given the makeup of this team there isnt much room for a TE tandem. In 2011 we had one other significant receiver in Smith. 

I look at the TE spot's value as blockers as well.  With the left OL weak, that could be critical.  Those looking at yardage and TDs are not seeing the big picture.

Did want to state that none of our top TE's (Olsen, Thomas, Manhertz) played tonight.

This tells me Rivera is already sold on those guys making the roster and wanted to see the other guys.

 

Or give them a chance to play for the film.  Good point.  I expected Manhertz, which was a bit odd.  Maybe a slight injury or something?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
