Too Much TE?

1) More protection for the most valuable player on the team
2) Also helps in the running game . . . from what I remember, everyone loved Ryan Hewitt
3) They'll still have 3WR formations
4) Backup TE/H-backs are a lot cheaper than a third starting WR and they still have the Chase contract coming up

Could depend on Burton.  If he hits the ground as an exceptional player Zac will stick to 3-wide.  He has said numerous times that the 3 WRs he had were our best players/options on offense so we were going to play them. 

Also, how are they playing Gesicki?  Is he actually a slot receiver much more so than a traditional TE?

If All is not healthy, Sample is still the only blocking TE.   Burton, All, and McLachlan could all take time to adjust and develop.

It will be interesting to see how Zac and Pitcher design the offense for sure.
