TEs...overlooked part of the offense.

If you were going to put our 4 best receiving threats on the field to start games, by stats, you would use Green, Boyd, Eifert and Uzomah, with Mixon in the backfield.

While Eifert is a TE he can move outside, play in the slot, block and he's got good hands. Uzomah was our 3rd best receiving target last year, followed immediately by Mixon, then Bernard.

That line up would feature good play action possibilities and be able to put 4 receivers in patterns, 5 if Mixon runs a route.

And for those who feel that Marvin was somehow holding these guys back I'd like to point out that he had great success with WRs. Just ask Chad, TJ, Green, Marvin Jones, Sanu, LaFell and Boyd, and he even managed to get decent production out of head case Henry.
