Anyway, they were suggesting that with Eifert's propensity to be injured, that it wouldn't be entirely crazy to think that Kroft could out produce Eifert this season. They listed much of the same info, as fredtoast did in the OP.
Personally, I was looking forward to seeing Eifert and Kroft on the field together, in 2TE sets, similar to way NE used Gronk and Hernandez a few years back. WTS, I totally believe that Kroft can come in, fill in nicely, with little to no drop off in production from the position.
Yea they do look like a really potent tandem that could cause matchup issues all around. Some of us do take Kroft's athleticism for granted, he's more than just a solid blocker and safety valve. He should fill in well for Eifert for a few weeks if needed and maybe we see more of the 2TE sets. Though Hue is gone, it makes you wonder if Zampese will reset his packages and shift them pre-snap much. Seems like you could do a lot with that base and RB's that can catch.
