up drastically. I still want Darnell Wright, DaWand Jones and Bergeron but if Mayer is there or we really think we can grow Washington
in the passing game it is possible we use a TE much more. I know people will mention Drew Sample being a 2nd round pick, but he was
overdrafted and it was a late round pick and he was drafted to block. We are a passing Offense now, much more so then back then.
Okay, well that takes him out of our thoughts then, been seeing Mayer taken by us in a lot of mocks lately.
I have to be open to the possibility now.
I completely understand what you are saying Nate but you have to consider the scheme as well. Primarily the Cincinnati TE is a blocker and after that a safety valve, and then there are situational routes where the TE is used to exploit the seams or to settle down into the open area of a zone. I think Joe liked targeting both Hurst and Uzomah however the scheme limits the route tree for the TE.
