As a strong believer in Thomas when we drafted him, I still don't understand why we retained him and why more of a concerted effort wasn't made to address TE in the offseason.  Whether we play Tremble or not, Thomas isn't a very good pro.  Period.  He has all of the tools, but he just isn't good.  But, being that he's here, I hope he had a better season, I'm just not holding my breath.  And I really paid attention to his blocking last season and couldn't believe how bad he was for his size.

Also, found it interesting that we kept so many TEs (4-5 depending on how you count it) and they literally had like 3 catches for 27 yards yesterday.  So much for a security blanket.

I don't have much issue with our approach at TE this off-season. We signed a mid-level FA and we drafted a 3rd round prospect. One was viewed as primarily a receiver and the other primarily a blocker. That's a decent investment in the position on one off-season.

And Arnold is worse at blocking than Ian. If tremble can become a pass catching tight end with his blocking ability we’ll have a lot of options. He’s just a rookie though who had hands issues in college. We’ll see. We need a guy who can do both to not tip what we’re doing to the defense. 

From what I’ve seen of Tremble, he looks like a solid receiver. And he will certainly improve. Play that man!

I should have known Arnold was trash by the way his agent was selling him during the negotiating process. 
 

if someone has to sell you that hard then maybe you ain’t that good.

Dang I didn't know you were at his negotiations. What else can you tell us?

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
