The Tre'quan problem
 
Since it seems we have quite a lot of competition at WR, why not shift TQ to TE? Outside of Hill there isn't much of a field. He is a very good blocker (granted mostly downfield) and is a pretty big dude.

He stays on the injury report. He’d last one drive at TE.

We already have a TE who drops passes.

He'll drop passes as a tight end too.

Who? Johnson? Pretty sure almost every receiver in the league has dropped a pass at one time or another.

Well for one, Trequan is entirely too light in the a** for full-time TE duty.

Four years in, if the best thing we can say about TS is "he's a good blocker" ... that's a problem.

I wouldn't miss him if he gets cut.

It’s not Madden.

Trequan is a good blocker, but he just doesn't have it as a receiver. His routes look lazy. There doesn't seem to be any urgency in his route running, he just meanders through a slight crossing route.
He doesn't look like he tries to get separation and his hands are questionable, so he catches with his body instead.

He reminds me of a guy I work with. Real potential, but just doesn't seem to want to be good and is happy with just being someone who's placed in the starting rotation because "he knows the system"

Honestly, in my opinion his spot should go to someone with a little more fire. Remember Willie Snead wanting to make the team so badly that he tried to steamroll Brandon Browner. That kind of intensity.

The team will be making a very costly mistake to keep Trequan over Shaheed.

What has Shaheed done? We're only likely to carry seven WR's max. Possibly six. How does Shaheed fit in there?

My WR room ...

Juice, CGM, Olave, Callaway, Dai'Jean Dixon, Deonte Harty, and Rasheed.

Merrick to practice squad. Kawaan Baker too.

Re: The Tre'quan problem
 
Still wondering what Shaheed has done to deserve a spot on the team. What is it based upon? :confused:

Move TQS to QB and let him compete with Book for the #4 QB gig on the practice squad. His downfield blocking on handoffs could be more of an asset than Book’s arm.

Re: The Tre'quan problem
 
What has Shaheed done? Good question AG, I had a feeling you would ask.
He’s impressed the scouts and team enough to give an undrafted rookie, coming off an injury descent money to be with the team. They see talent.
Anyone that has watched his highlight reels sees it as well.
The real question is do we keep experimenting with Trequan or give someone else a shot?
Harty gonna want money soon. If we’re not willing to pay, in steps Shaheed.
Kinda nice having the all time leader in FCS kickoff returns on the roster.

Trequan better show something on special teams or his spot could get pretty iffy.

why not just cut bait
get over it, we don't need to witness any more of 3Q ineptness

It has more to do with Tre'quan production than what Shaheed has accomplished.

If Tre earns a spot on the team, great. If he's cut, I don't think anyone will lose any sleep over it. Well, maybe a person... possibly two.

Re: The Tre'quan problem
 
Rather than asking what Shaheed has done to make the team the better question is what has Smith done to stay on the team.

hitta 08-16-2022 06:02 PM

Re: The Tre'quan problem
 
He has the talent of someone that could be a Pro-Bowler. It's slowly wasting away. I hope he finds the drive before his career turns into a mediocre waste. I don't think it's time to give up on him yet though.

Roster the best available players. Period.

Those are both questions best suited to those who get to see them every day on the field, in the weight room, in the locker room, and in the classroom.

Personally I doubt either makes the 53 with what they have in front of them now. But, what do I know?

It won't be me losing any sleep over him not making the roster.
