I don't know about "as bad as I think"...but I do think they'll be susceptible to speed rushers, much like Cam and Parnell were. They'll win most of their reps just cause they're very big, long, and strong (and because odds dictate that to begin with)...but when they get beat I think it will happen very quickly and there won't be much that a playcall will help with.

I think we'll see a lot of TE involvement this year. In every aspect of the game on offense.  

They'll chip block or set up quick screen passes when defenses are caught sleeping. They'll be moved around a lot. They'll line up in the slot, move inside, chip and run out for a quick hit or line-up in the backfield from time to time.

I saw it a lot last year and the year before with the Eagles. I still think Robinson and Taylor are going to be above average more times than not in the blocking department in 2019. But between O'Shaughnessy, Oliver & Swaim it'll be an interesting showing at the position. I really, really like O'Shaughnessy too. 

Maybe Hackett didn't utilize him enough or Bortles' wasn't good enough to find him or put the ball on the money when he was open. But I think O'Shaughnessy could very well emerge as one of Foles' favorite targets early and often this year. This is quietly a solid group this front office has compiled this off season. Collectively they could end up being this year's tipping point on offense that allows Fournette to potentially flourish by forcing defenders to respect the outside and over the middle passing game.
