He's going to have to block some.  The team isn't going to trot him on the field only in 3rd and long situations.  Grated, he's a pass cathcing TE, but even those guys have to do some dirty work now and again.

Yeah sure a little but that's not why they signed him. Check out this stat from last season

Field Position

  G REC YDS AVG LNG TD 1st 1st% 20+ 40+
Own 1-20 - by Yard Line   1 9 9 9 0 0 0 0 0
Own 21-50 - by Yard Line   12 226 18.8 59 1 10 83.3 4 1
Opp 49-20 - by Yard Line   13 185 14.2 41 0 10 76.9 4 1
Opp 19-1 - by Yard Line   5 18 3.6 8 3 4 80 0 0

 

Look at those 1st down numbers! He's a chain mover!!

Best signing outside of Reddick tbh.

I liked Moore too--you have to let the Huddle comics post their ???? comments. They would turn down a date with Barbara Fialho because they have never heard of her. 

Then the analysis starts.  Very nice signing.

Yes it is. Usually I feel like we've always just signed players because we need a player at X position. Now, I feel we are signing players because we need a player at X position that can do Y and Z. Very different mentality to me. Me likey

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
