Absence of tight-end play: Accident or Design?

ScottF · 10-18-2017, 08:57 AM

Can't speak for the whole year, but Drew was a little off Sunday, and when he targeted TE's he was low or behind. On two third downs he went to Hill and Fleener but threw some tough balls to bring in.

For the record, TE's have only been targeted 27 times, for 19 catches

The way I see it; not targeting the tight ends so often has made the offense less predictable.

Have to worry about stopping the run with Ingram and Kamara. Then you have to worry about all the screens and jet sweeps with Kamara and Ginn. And just when you think you have all that figured out; Brees finds Hooman in the back of the end-zone just standing there wide open...

How many B&G members does it take to start a thread?: Three! One can actually do it but the other two are there to comment on how it SHOULD HAVE BEEN done!
