Falcons at Cardinals gameday thread 11-12-23

Again, one thing that holds a lot of these college TEs back once they go to the NFL is they just aren't used enough. Not shocking McBride starts breaking out when he has to play more snaps due to a washed vet getting injured.

I just don't understand why NFL offenses don't use tight ends more. A lot of Tom Brady's success was based upon his use of his tight ends.

what a bounce back game for the Oline! wow!

Those guys are alright.
People overlook the fact that week after week we started this season against the 5 or 6 best defensive fronts in the nfl...hell, Cleveland might be historically good up front....
So when we drop down to just the tenth best defense in the nfl....they make it look easy.
We still need upgrades but our oline isn't trash

We start getting him involved in the Redbone he could jump to star status pretty quick.

I noticed this as well. Kinda looked jumpy in the pocket but stayed in it at times.

Right. Kinda uncomfortable, but forced himself to stay disciplined.

They've exceeded expectations oaken, I agree.

I also agree that just adding an above average LG probably makes the oline good enough to get us to the playoffs in 2024.

But I wonder what is the long-term plan for this unit? We can compete with this group in 2024, but what about 2025 and 2026? We'll want to get to the playoffs in those years too I promise! haha.

It is the biggest mismatch in football at every level IMO.

They're just freaking hard to find and develop.

There's a reason why there are just 5 TEs with over 450 receiving yards and the sixth leading TE (Evan Engram) is closer to the 11th dude (McBride, ironically) and than the fifth.

There's a reason why New England failed to recapture that magic after Gronk left.

Also, I think it's a specialization thing. If you have a guy who's good at catching passes, why are you going to ask him to block half the time--and put him closer to traffic in the middle?

i think Mike Leach said that they have all become defensive ends / pass rushers

Economics. Pass rushers are paid a lot more ghan tight ends.

 

[WisconsinCard]

Wiiiiillllllssssoooooonnnnnnn!!!!

I see what you did there.

 

[WindCardinal]

You sir, are a bold faced liar.

Trey Mcbride has only 129 receiving yards in 10 starts

What is wrong with this man and why was he drafted in the 2nd round?
