Air Raid Offense - Is a TE needed?

[jf-08]

Is a tight end really needed in the Air Raid?

I would imagine on short yardage, but aren't Fitz and Butter almost like TEs-light when it comes to blocking?

Remember that we signed Charles Clay a good receiving TE as a free agent.

I think CK2 will use what ever weapons we have, we also need to remember that we signed Charles Clay in the offseason.

RSJ and CC will be fine

4 WR is key in air raid. TE is a luxury and a guy like clay will be perfect. I’m becoming more excited about the offense still worried about that line.

We also have RSJ, I expect him to play a nice role in the new offense.

I ink RSJ is going to play a bigger role in this offense than we’d previously expected

Still there are only 3 TEs on the roster and Ricky Seals-Jones is pretty much just a pass catcher TE.i would think having a young TE who can block and catch would always be a fit.Darrell Daniels is untried.At least I would thnk a 7th Rd guy or UDFAs be brought in for TE.

However, with 6 picks left I can see them signing a TE as a project or maybe one that is a good blocker. Won't hurt to have more depth.

Nope!

I’ve said it many many times before, only 1 TE has ever done anything in KKs Tech offense & that Jace Amaro years ago. In fact the last several seasons they had no TEs on the roster

One write-up on Butler says that, because of his size, he could contribute as a move TE.

Is it going to be the exact offense as at Tech? One would think you would need a TE/FB type for some short yardage situations and to mix it up a bit?

Ourlads say he is not a guy who likes to extend in traffic so I wonder about being willing to mix it up as a blocker?

I still don’t think it will change much. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Just stating what I’ve seen & what’s he ran.

Think of it this way, they went & got his QB instead of trying to make Rosen fit

He’s a very willing solid blocker but I don’t think he will be used in line very often because it negates him strengths which is 50/50 balls

Doesn’t matter goal line and short yardage will still be in the gun. The philosophy is it is easier to run with the RPO and spreading the defense out that you don’t need a goal line package.

He’s actually a pretty devastating blocker. Go watch some tape on him.
