Slater And Freiermuth
#7
(03-23-2021, 11:24 AM)ochocincos Wrote: It depends on the following two things:
1) How confident are you in Uzomah and/or Sample being a Top 10 TE?
2) How confident are you that Taylor's offensive playcalling would get the TE enough targets to make the TE a Top 3 option in the offense?

For #1, I am skeptical Uzomah will get there, and I am highly confident Sample will not get there.
For #2, Uzomah averaged 5.5 targets per game in 2020, which was 15th in the league. Over a whole season, that would be 88 targets. The total number of targets Sample + Uzomah got was 64 targets.

If the Bengals did end up giving the TE 80-100 targets a game, that would justify going after a TE like Pitts, Freiermuth, or Brevin Jordan.

And I think a lot of people who are wanting Pitts (like myself) would hope that an "offensive mind" like Taylor would be able to structure an offensive game plan around Pitts to get him plenty of targets instead of just making him a blocking TE who goes out for some passes. So basically, the passing offense would focus on Pitts, Higgins, and Boyd instead of Higgins, Boyd, and a WR3.

1- Don't need them to be TOP 10 TEs.
2- Sample was 5th on the team in receiving yards last year. I think CJ could have been 3rd in receiving yards if he hadn't gotten injured, but there is a small sample size of two games.


None of this TE talk will matter if Burrow doesn't have time to throw the ball. Fix that before you start chasing the shiny weapons.
