Tight end position

We did fairly well with the weapons we had last season even without CMC.  However, there is no doubt that our TE corps could use an upgrade.  As mentioned, several will be available in FA and many teams will be struggling with cap numbers, so fingers crossed.  The draft will be for offense for sure, but I don't see TE being one of the main targets this draft

based on what i’ve read, TE isn’t a position that is featured in our offensive system. which is fine if the replacement production is covered by say a slot receiver, in which case curtis samuel definitely made up for a lack of a pass catching TE in receptions/yards.

i’m neither here nor there on the issue. i feel like this offense could work fine without a TE, however if the opportunity presents itself where we’re on the clock and there’s a really good TE prospect on the board, it’s probably best not to pass it up.

We address this need in FA.  A weak TE class overall (except the top couple guys) and we need a player that can contribute immediately, especially if we draft a rookie QB.  We don't the rookie QB's security blanket requiring training wheels too.  More than enough serviceable guys in FA this year to meet that need and can be signed to reasonable contracts.

As long as joe Brady is in Carolina TE is not a position of high priority.. I love the TE position and would be super happy with pitts.. but seems like we are wasting our time till Brady is gone.. 

I wish he would have got hired as a head coach and kinda wish we would have never hired him. We don’t need a rotating coach for OC with a young team.

    • They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers
    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
