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. :)

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
