i dont understand how our TEs disappear in the red zone

With names like Olsen/Shockey as TEs the D's tend to notice where those guys are at. Once the no name (only for non Panther fans) WR's start grabbing balls in the endzone (Yes calling you out #17) will the TE's get more of a chance to be open for TD's in the red zone. Steve / Olsen / Shockey make it where others are 1 on 1 and those guys need to make a play to free up others.....IMO

No, the field is much more compact and they lose a big chunk of their advantage.

That isn't the case at all.

Speedsters lose their advantage as DBs don't fear them getting in behind, however TEs never lose their height advantage over DBs.

That's why TEs and big possession receivers are a proper threat, as you can just lob the ball up and ask them to go and get it where the DBs can't.

    • That zone was so soft that 3 guys were bearly on the screen. No rushing called. Playing off the line 10+ yards. Yeah that's garbage time. It took an onsides kick to make them try to play D again. Until then they didn't care and still wouldn't play real D against Young until they absolutely had to and that was with backups in the backfield. Slow start is freaking hilarious. He was gifted the lowest effort a bad team can give and still couldn't put anything together for 1 freaking series at the end after 2 quarters of warmup ball. It was like watching someone stretching for an hour and then pull a hammy after 10 feet of running. 
    • On the subject of Reich and him being no good as a coach, because he wouldn’t change everything he did to accommodate Young. He wanted to sit Young. He knew what Young was.  But to the point, was Andrew Luck a good QB under Reich in Indy? Most people don’t hesitate to say yes. Well, Luck thought enough of his coaching to bring him to Stanford.  There is a bona fide NFL QB that seems to dispute the painting of Reich as a incompetent and the reason for Young’s shortcomings.  Yes he got fired. It appears as if Tepper and Fitterer forced a QB he did not want on him and poisoned the well right from the start. I don’t blame Reich one bit for being pissed either.  And I wasn’t a Reich guy I wanted Wilks. I accepted the Reich hire but never lobbied for him.  Just saying he is being dogged here unfairly.   
    • I think its a mix of both. Bryce being too small and offense is too vanilla. Plays arent creative enough. Most are slants, fades and runs. But even Baker and Sam had to deal with vanilla offense and looked horrid. Thats why I say it's a mix of both.
