I don't know if I already posted my opinion in this thread maybe it was a different Gary thread but I think it would be a good move.
I'd like the idea of using 2 TE packages more with Barnridge or someone near his talent level in the fold. Not only that but we all know there is a very slim chance Eifert makes it through the full length of the season without missing some time. The only question is how much time will he miss imo. Let's take the same approach the Pats did with their often injured star TE. I think Eifert is just as good of a redzone weapon as Gronk when he's on the field so you don't want to lose him but you also don't want to be hung out to dry when Eifert gets hurt.
I don't have a lot of faith in Kroft and Uzomah at this moment. They have shown flashes but nothing that makes me think they will be a serious threat on the field. Capable backups on a good day? Sure but I want more than that.
