JP that was a lot. But I agreed with all of it EXCEPT, Trautman. He’s hurting the team. He’s made crucial mistakes every game. I’m not talking minor things, I’m talking game costing mistakes.
I think he needs to transition back to WR. I don’t know if it’s the extra weight he’s put on to play the TE position but somethings not right with him.
I’ve never wanted a player gone more than Trequan.

Well, here's the thing with Trautman; he came from a small school (Dayton) and he got by on his physical talent at that level (Pioneer Football Conference)...

So he's got to get bulked up to block (that's a year min., kinda like Davenport needed bulk); then he's probably experiencing the first real, in-depth, technical coaching in his life...

And Tight End at the NFL is a number of positions, or skills that have to be mastered; I'd made the same arguments with Dan Arnold of patience...

These guys are coming in and getting coaching and really learning the position for the first time - and it's at the NFL Level!

This is why when it comes to the draft, with the exception of a QB Josh Allen (a QB) who I was high on, I don't like spending multiple picks on small school prospects...

Get the expectations, but like Davenport, it's not really fair to add that pressure, plus the adjustments to the NFL game, life alone are much...

Does Trautman need to step up this season? Don't disagree at all with that part, but he's making progress which is more than we can say for TreQuan and Ruiz right now...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
