John Phillips is a blocking TE too. So is Hoonamui. They're easy to come by. Having an actual threat (Fleener?) opens up a lot in the passing game. We aren't going to keep going with 1 WR and 2 RBs year after year. If Snead would turn into Snead we'd be fine.

I keep waiting on Snead to catch one of his clutch 3rd down conversions. IDK why he has been a non factor after he returned from injury. I was thinking that we had a strong receiving core but I was wrong. I'm still impressed with the season though.

I really do not see this as a split TE draft. One of the many reasons I wanted OJ last year.

But some good old school TEs from round 4 on are out there.

R4 Troy Fumagalli TE Wisconsin 6054 249 4.84 #81 rSr
R5/6 Marcus Baugh TE Ohio State 6041 250 4.84 #85 rSr
Ethan Wolfe TE Tennessee 6045 245 4.86 #82 Sr

That does not include the small school guys either.

gotta wait and see what the surprise cuts are.

Dolphins releasing tight end Julius Thomas?

Cheaper option to play at least 10 games like Jimmy. He need a QB.

sign a one year prove it with the dolphins kicking in 2 million might be a solid gamble?

That’s the thing. I don’t think anyone saw SNEAD deciding to take a step back

Snead went from 70 catches a year to 8 this year. Probably will cost him 5 million

He could have a big impact on Sunday.

I sure hope so. He's been getting a lot of playing time. If the fire doesn't light up this week then it probably won't.

I really hope he does.
Carolina is great against the run so we need to be a little more creative than up the middle every first and second down. I think this is Brees' game to win

And Sean is wondering why the 3rd down conversion percentage dropped???
