Why aren’t we utilizing our TEs more?
I would also like to know about the TE utilization. Maybe Trevor isn’t reading the field as good as he should. Maybe it’s simply their number isn’t getting called for whatever reason but Shannon Sharpe and other football gurus always say a QB’s best friend is the TE and a strong running game and play good defense. Engram has good speed to get up on the linebackers and make a move.
To the OP. Good post. I also think Griffin needs to be replaced for Herndon. Atleast Herndon can turn and run. You might want to bump Griffin down to a nickel package and put him in press in order to jam the WR3 at the line. He’s plenty physical enough but just can’t run.
Walker has to cut down…actually he has to STOP with the back breaker type penalties.
And yes Tim Jones needs more targets. If Tim comes in as your 4th or 5th WR, I think he’s better than the opposing team’s 4th or 5th CB. That’s a matchup you want.
I think the play calling has been pretty good. I love that Pederson uses a lot of presnap movement. I’m being petty here, but I think play action from under center is where it’s at. It allows your QB to hold the backers and safeties and allows timing routes. The shotgun stuff is where Lawrence likes to bail. And he is struggling against the blitz.
I also agree with the aggressiveness on 4th down. Our kicker has only missed 1 time and he has a live leg. Take the 3 points and get back after it on the next drive.
With a 17 game season, a bunch of stuff can still happen. This division is still there for the taking.
First LOL at Thannon the guru. Second, you're telling me a former TE is trying to hype up the TE position? @Now I've heard it all@
When Tim's on the field, it's probably not that we have 4 or 5 WR on the field. He's a backup, giving a starter a breather and probably only got that catch late because Agnew was gimpy. I'm not saying he's horrible, but there's probably a reason why Agnew got all the reps the week Zay couldn't run. Tim is probably busting his hump in practice, and coaches see him and know what he brings. If he's as good as the board hypes him to be, the coaches would have him on the field without the need for everyone to be howling his name.
I don't think our changes need to be radical. Get Foley back on the field. Pressure opposing QBs into incompletions and turnovers. Keep doing what we're doing on offense. It will work out. Trying to rewrite the playbook or jostle the roster is what you do when you're desperate, and desperation is far from where we are in this moment.
