I will say, we don't have any world beaters but a very complimentary TE room.  

I've been of the impression Ian Thomas severely skewed how people thought of guys that have been respectable in their time here.    

For context- 3 of Tremble's first 4 touches in the NFL were TDs.  The 1 remaining of 4 was a chunk play.  10 TDs in 4 years as our TE2 is not bad, especially considering the coaching and personnel over that time.  And he's made impact plays when called upon.  I have never got the hate on him outside of sharing a room with Ian.  He never elevated to his high round 3 pick, but he's been good enough for how we've used him.

JT looked solid at the end of last year but he's really just a receiving type.  But he showed up in that final ATL win.  I don't know what to think of him yet but he's an alright option to have even if he doesn't turn out to be a top receiving TE.  

Mitch can play all 3 TE spots though.  He's of the LaPorta and Kraft mold which I love. 

Sanders more like a Musgrave, Tremble more like a B Strange.  We'll see but I'm hopeful.  Evans is the type that could free up a roster spot long term and add some disguise-ability to our offense if he can become our TE1.

I wouldn't mind a te room of LaPorta,  Musgrave and b strange

I like this guy.  Caught him doing more nice things in 12-personnel. Just keeps showing up.

Passes the eye test early which historically, rookie TEs don't do...

My take on him is this. If you need him to block, he's able and willing. If you need him to catch a pass for a 1st down, he's able and willing. Seems like the perfect solider. You see the effort too. Many have helped Rico go video game- XL, Mays, BC, IckY, Lewis, Tmac, Temble and Evans has been blocking his arse off too. 

Its vastly overlooked in this era of highlights and pay me TDs clips. Willingness and effort in the run game. I don't think its not by design, that nearly all of the last two draft class- If they need to block, you will get their best effort. Most of these current WRs/TEs want nothing to do with blocking......Horn, XL, Evans, and even sanders(he improved before the injury) are going shoot their hands and lose slowly......aka NFL blocking. 

Think if he's going to get better???!?!?!? !!!!

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
