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.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
