We need a red-zone threat.

Seems to be the same poo different year. When we get in the red zone, the only thing teams have to worry about is our 1 dimensional running game. Lets get a proven playmaker at tight end upon the new regime change and give us two weapons down in the end zone. Smitty can't make consistent tough catches within the 10 yards of the goal line nor should he have to since it could lead to interceptions. Same goes for LaFell since he is absolutely terrible at it.

We need to get to the red zone first.

We need to get to the red zone first.

We've gotten there several times. It's usually the place we turn the ball over to the other team. We want them to have the worst field position possible.

Defense! Defense!

I have said over and over that, as much criticism as I've given Jarrett, I do think he could be a great red zone threat. At least moreso than our current options.

I know that sounds crazy coming from me, someone who has given Jarrett a ton of poo, but if Jarrett can be utilized anywhere, it's in the redzone. He can catch those short passes, even with defenders draped on him.

Now, is he worth activating just as a "redzone threat"? Probably not -- we've got to get these younger guys some playing time.
