Quote:As has been pointed out ubiquitously, AD (and LF) both suck out of the shotgun. Blake has only ever played out of the shotgun. 

 

It could be argued that Ivory/Yeldon would work better than trying to force either AD/LF or Bortles to play in schemes they aren't fits for. 

 

Especially when you consider the opportunity cost of having to try to force that round hole square peg fit is missing out on Thomas, Howard, Lattimore, Hooker, etc. 

Bortles from the shotgun with ivory and yeldon has been a total failure. Maybe it's time to change that. If rookie quarterbacks coming from spread offenses in college can adapt to taking snaps under center, a 3 year pro should know how to take a drop. If not, maybe we shouldn't be building our team around such a crappy quarterback. We'll see what TC wants to do but I for one hope he brings back the power run game. 

 

I doubt Thomas will be there, we don't need to draft cb at 4 to play the slot in Lattimore, and Hooker straight up can't tackle and we already have a big contract FS. How is taking Howard not trying to fit a square peg in a round hole? We've shown consistently that we don't use TEs down the field, even if Julius wasn't a bum, we had no idea of to use those talents, but I get it, he is a specimen.
