I like the signing and it has nothing to do with Keim. I think Ertz makes this team better.
Cards re-sign Zach Ertz
- Thread starter oaken1
- Start date
He does. Anyone with any clue knows that and the money is average.
Funny. If those guys are more a vertical threat (and I doubt most of them are) it's a function of routes they are asked to run. Not speed or athletic ability.
Ertz is the exact same runner that made him a 3 time Pro Bowler and considered the 3rd best tight end in the league not many years ago. There's no evidence that he's slower.
And FYI, his average depth of target last year was greater than Kelce.

You know what else was predictable last year? Throwing the ball 20-40 yards to a very tight sideline with very low probability of success on 3rd and short. Drive killers.
Ertz has to be accounted for in the middle of the field AND KK has to use him more.
We have to run the ball more consistently (better oline and better play calling).
We have to find a WR that can stretch the field vertically.

Air Raid Warning!
I neither love nor hate Keim. Each move should be evaluated on its own merits. This was a good re-sign IMO, especially if Maxx Williams comes back healthy.
And if Daniels and Harris are signed it will be a BAD move.

We'll be carrying more than two tight ends.
I think signing Ertz is okay. But day one has many saying we had a great day one.
Really? Everthing that happened day one could have happened 3 weeks ago.
Hurray for Keim. We were able to sign players that were on this team last year and lost Edmonds and Kirk. So at the moment we are worse off than last year.

If you want to call any TE on this team other than Ertz and Williams, who is injured and not signed a TE , yes we will have more than 2 TE’s on this team.
Our TE room today is bleak.

I don't make the call.

Yea I knew Keim was planning on running it back once he got the extension. However, running it back with an even less explosive team doesnt give me a lot of confidence.
If Keim was great at drafting I'd worry less about it.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Not to mention the dearth of picks this year.

Really hope we get to see the 2 TE sets with Maxx. Think Kliff could get really creative.

Almost seemed like Kyler read the defense pre snap there, knew Ertz was going to be there and hit him.
