That's why Eifert didn't blow up under ZT and neither did Uzomah. In this scheme the TE is inline and only goes out a small amount as a last chance outlet. If you're expecting a TE posting up Gronk style numbers then you need a different scheme on offense where the TE is not a blocker first.
Ofc nobody was expecting Gronk numbers, but the difference between Uzomah and Sample is pretty noticeable. Uzomah had 87 yds and a TD in less than 2 games. He was an actual threat in the passing game. Sample is nothing but a check down.
