LaPorta is good on the Lions and is TE1 as well as option #2. Fact.

LaPorta in an offense that already had Ridley, Kirk, Zay (I don't even like Zay) and Engram (solidified TE1)? Still good but wouldn't have seen the field as much because he would be TE2. Therefore his production wouldn't have looked like it did in Detroit. He would have never even sniffed 120 targets in Jacksonville. That's the point.

You're also discounting Etienne from the receiving options here.

Fact of the matter is we didn't run a lot of 2TE routes because if we were bringing in an extra TE, it was to help the line buy a fraction of a second before TLaw was on his rear.

What if we're making the wrong comparison, and Strange was brought in not to clone Engram, but to clone (or improve upon) Farrell?
