Ricky Seals-Jones to see a Larger Role?

[DevonCardsFan]

So how often does Bradford use his te? Is this why there is an expected uptick with the Cardinals TE position?

The Cardinals are expected to give second-year TE Ricky Seals-Jones a bigger role in 2018.
It's out of necessity -- Arizona is painfully thin on pass catchers and Jermaine Gresham (Achilles') won't be ready for Week 1 -- but also because Seals-Jones flashed big-play ability with 201 yards on 12 catches (16.8 YPR) last season. A college wide receiver, Seals-Jones is worth stashing in all Dynasty leagues and has a chance to become a re-draft factor with Sam Bradford. Mar 14 - 3:30 PM

He should based off what we saw last year

He should since it won't be BA's offense. Certainly would be nice to have the TE be a more frequent option.

Better find our rookie qb and a good one or the franchise will have a larger role gettin a first round pick
We need also a couple of efficient lineman, or bradford going to IR in week one

Well if he could play 16 (at least) one would hope that he would have more than 12 catches....

RSJ really made an impression in a couple of games (at least to me). I'd like to see him used in as WR-TE hybrid player.

He's got the size and heft of a TE but the moves of a WR. Look for the Cards/McCoy to put him to good use to maximize Bradford's passing accuracy.

 

[football karma]

given he is the only healthy TE on the roster, i would hope so

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

He can get the passes that don't go to Gronk.

 

[CardsFan88]

Bradford can put it on him, so why not.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I love RSJ’s talent...

 

[Arz101]

If RSJ improves marginally, he can be the Julius Thomas style TE in McCoy's system

 

[BW52]

Cards still need a real TE who can block-Ryan Izzo,Durham Smythe,Dalton Schultz etc;.

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I’m sold on RSJ.

 

[Chopper0080]

He will have the opportunity to do so...no one else

The guy is too fast for LBs and too big for Ss. He has great tools. If someone really nurtures this kid, and makes him a priority in an offense, I think we could have an Antonio Gates, Jerramy Stevens type of impact player.

The way you describe him, makes me think he could possibly be a Vernon Davis type player.

Indeed. He has the skill set. In college at Texas A&M, they kept him on the outside, going for a Michael Floyd type of WR. But, his gift is as a TE/H back type of guy. Gets him away from CBs and into matchups he can win. All that catching the ball as a WR for four years really gives him an edge over most TEs in the hands dept.
