On ESPN, it even has our main formation for our depth chart as having a fullback. I've seen other sites similar to that, also.
Even CincyJungle talks like we won't have two tight ends on the field at the same time:
Sounds to me like they're saying Kroft won't have much value, which I'm not expecting him to light-it-up, but I think he could have a solid year.
Not to mention that a two-tight end set is the best way to attack the 3-4 defenses of the division.
(The article mentions how Rutgers switched to a run-heavy offense last season, which most likely explains Kroft's dropping as far as he did.)
Am I seeing this wrong?
Well, Eifert is the one guy that is a playmaking pass catching TE that we have. We want Hewitt on the field
to block for Hill and be a relief valve for Dalton at H-back. We have lots of weapons with Green, MLJ, Sanu,
Moore, Wright and our RB's. And Kroft and our other TE's are all pretty much rookies.
I don't find it to be a good time to run a primarily 2 TE set until we know what we have with all the TE's.
