This conversation is going no where.

Wilcox is only a backup because he stinks. If you have 2 good TEs, you start 2 TEs. Hurst is playing 67% of the offensive snaps this year. Is he a backup? The Benglas haven't had 2 TEs worth a damn since 2013, and that year neither were backups. It would have been the same now.

The offense is a 3 WR offense when they have 3 WRs worth a damn. They're not a 2 TE offense when they have only 1 TE worth a damn. If you don't adjust your offense to suit the players you have, you're a failure as an OC. You can't run the same offense you did with Chase/Higgins/Boyd when you have Mike Thomas and Trenton Irwin playing significant offensive snaps, that's insanity.
