From all the insider footage and interviews post-draft, it seems like Rhule was set on landing Tremble.  He's clearly super excited about him even when compared to our other picks. (A side note--the team also seemed pretty set on targeting Hubbard as well)  Furthermore, in the limited action we've seen in camp, he's been looking sharp and seems to be transitioning pretty easily.  Made some acrobatic catches and just looks beastly.  

Reading up, I've seen Kittle comparisons and a few analysts that have pretty hefty expectations.  And I see why.  It helps he absolutely, without a doubt, has the NFL athleticism and frame from the get go, very little work needed at the body shop with this kid.  Also, the one element that the TE prospects need more than anything else to contribute is blocking.  He's got it down and then some.  Combine that with the athleticism and it's apparent we have a potential monster on our hands. 

Thing is, this isn't a Swole Bones situation.  We just spent a 3rd rounder on Tremble and he's set to contribute.  We didn't have this type for Brady last year so we may see more TE/H-Back inclusion with the pure FB out of the roster.  Our team has not typically drafted TEs high. Ian Thomas at the top of the 4th was pretty much our highest grab at one in some time.   He have him off the line as the H-Back in our spread formations from the gun, have him as a FB in I, have him as a true TE2, he can be very adaptive.

Sax's Prediction: 18-27 Catches, 275-400 yards, 1-2 TDs

Now to Arnold.  Why do I like him?  Because he's a redzone target.  We not only landed Marshall for this but Arnold proved to pull the rock in for AZ just fine.  Even made some bigger plays.  For being a bit limber/long, he's got decent blocking chops.  

Looking at our success at the spot, we landed Olsen in a trade and Wesley Walls in a FA signing similar to Arnold and where he's currently at in his career.  He's a more balanced TE, leaning receiver...and only 26.

Sax's Prediction: 35-45 rec, 500-650 yards, 4-6 tds

--

Overall, these predictions account for the volume to CMC, Moore, and Robbie.  I don't know one of Marshall (likely #3), *other Moore, or Shi simply sliding in Samue's volume so that will be more broken up.  

But most importantly, I see these two fitting in very well and it makes sense why Rhule and team are talking up Ian Thomas right now.  He doesn't just have competition, he's fighting for his career/roster spot.  We've got two guys now in place and really an entire position that seemed like a need post-Olsen now accounted for and then some.

They are definitely throw talent from multiple players at the position. 

This is an excellent plan, as there are no lofty expectations places on any 1 player. Although I'm leaning towards Tremble having a bigger impact. 

Ian will be the only one that really has a say in that. 

Well see how it develops.  A lot to be excited for.

Ian Thomas will have 800 yards and 8 tds.

Assuming 50 - 60 receptions, that would have been good for TE4 last year in PPR leagues last year. I think your projection is wildly optimistic. He's going undrafted in almost all leagues so you can get him whenever you want.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Little light hearted topic.. For whatever reason Cam Newton doesn't appear in Madden ultimate team every year for whatever reason like most legends. I personally believe it's due to them robbing him of appearing on the cover of the video game series during his peak years winning NFL rookie of the year and the MVP super bowl run.  Needless to say I'm a huge Competitive Madden ultimate team player spending hours of days crunching numbers and churning roster management. When this was announced it was a lightening rod in the Madden community. Competitive players know Newton is a game changer.. Your talking fastest quarterback in the game and highest throwing power in the game when he drops. That a long with. Unheard of ability at quarterback like freight train the ability to run over linebacker and corners and I was stoked. I m ashamed to say how much money threw at the game to try to pull newton and failed  But it's a big deal seeing as every pro Madden player most certainly has to have him on their roster and the card art is pretty sweet.

      Player-led approach

      By Icege · Posted

      A few different ways this can be taken depending on how you view things: Negative: This coaching staff is so inept that players are having to practically beg them to put them in situations that we as fans have been screaming for. How could David Tepper and Bryce Young do this to us? Positive: The coaches are listening to the players who are trusting the coaches! Neutral: Collaboration can lead to good things, so hopefully this starts the upward trend we've been waiting for.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      I've been trying to tell y'all since preseason that Brycen Tremayne is the missing piece. 😛 XL, TMac, Coker, and Tremayne all dumpstering DBs when the team runs out of 10 personnel will be hilarious.
