totally understand.  We already have too many weapons for D's to cover outside of the TE.

If you examine how Hurst has been utilized over his career it is extremely similar to CJ. From what I have seen of the snaps he has taken for Baltimore and Atlanta he is going to fit the role we use the position very well. He is pretty strong in the TE screen game and can find the soft spot to settle down in a zone. Really consistent in the short crossing game and has shown some ability to get behind defenders in the right situations. Just as CJ he is not one of the top TEs in the game but should fit the role here pretty well.

Hope you're right.  I was excited about the hurst pickup, then I had this conversation.  Take it for what its worth, just passing it along.
