Drafting a TE


Recommended Posts

The only thing wrong with our TE's in the past is that they had no one to throw them the ball.

exactly :D

i think that before all is said and done, barnidge will beat out rosario and king for the starting job. because he's gotten some experience now, he can run block better now, and he can catch just as good, if not, better than rosario. but to have two run blocking tight ends, and two receiving tight ends (cause barnidge can do both) gives our opponents an extra element to prepare for. our offense is gonna be deadly this season. i don't care what anyone says. just straight up pwning teams all year long.

Barnidge is a beast probably the best all around tight end on this team, I can almost guarantee that he will have a break out yr with moore behind center, but I like the fact that our TE's are underrated bc when gametime comes they show up and the opposing team had not gameplanned for it.

Our 3 TE's caught 63 passes last year even with Delhomme having such a bad season. We're fine at that position. The reason all these outsiders think we need a TE, is because they just look at the individual TE numbers seperately instead of looking at their combined numbers, which were pretty damned good for a running football team with QB problems.

I keep seeing this over and over again. We need to draft a TE. We need a pass catching TE......

NO WE DON'T!

Dante Rosario is a pretty amazing pass catcher!

At least half of the people who say that we need a Tight End on these boards are making fun of Mel Kiper. Get in on the joke. :)

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
