The tight end

Everyone said ok now we got moose he will free up smitty, no more triple coverages. Ok true but our passing game and play calling and routes are straight from the 70's. There is no reason that when we come out in a 4 wr set we have smitty and moose on opposite sides and king and rosario in the slots. What can king and roasrio possibly do to be a down field threat? We need jarrett, smith, moose and a playmaking te out there, a gates, a winslow a gonzalez thats why I was pissed we didnt jump on it when kc was trading gonzo. A TE of that caliber adds so much to your bunch sets and iforms just carve up the middle of the field on streaks, fades etc. A lb can cover king or rosario 1 on 1, they cant cover a great TE like gates, winslow or gonzo 1 on 1 forcing a safety up top, which by its self frees up smitty (cant keep rodgers down low and rolle up top the whole game on smit) and the run game than you look at moose on the other side. I just dont get it why we always have to have these full back/ tes out there for run blocking (yes good at it) but they cant make plays on the recieving end or seperate from anyone. Our only downfield threat is smith and thats it. Id love for us to invest on the TE position its a whole new dimension.

Guys like Winslow, Gates, and TG don't come around very often. That's why you could only name 3. Less than 10% of teams have that type of playmaking TE. We need tight ends who can block. That's what we got.

They're good at it.

Don't tell me, either, that "well we can bring King and Rosario to block, too." And you think we're predictable now? Everytime a team saw that our superstar, hall-of-fame-bound tight end was subbing out for King or Rosario......RUN!!!

yea but whos looking to be shipped? gonzo and winslow. And no I dont think we would be more predictable, because even if we show run and than pass with king and rosario its ineffective. Put king and TG out there and see how much more effective our passing game is from the iform, strong i etc.

    • I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.   
    • I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen. 
    • I'm not arguing that Linderbaum isn't a better player than Mays, just that the difference isn't as much as people might think. At least not compared to the difference in cost between the two players will be. In any event, I don't expect the Ravens to let him get to the open market.
