@Iwantkendall same here.
Question in regards to our TE recruiting. We're a run-first team and while I would like a little more balance, the run game will remain important. The TEs have been a big part of that run game. (Say what you will about our TE usage in the passing game, but there's no denying Nauta and Jeb have been excellent blockers.) However, Washington and Gilbert aren't that type of TE. I want these two players, but it feels like we're getting away from the type of TE that works in our system.
Thoughts?
So, let me get this straight. WRs & TEs don't see the field on Kirby's teams unless they're effective blockers but Gilbert & Washington are being recruited as receivers only?
Would add that Woerner's strengths/abilities are a lot closer to that of Gilbert and Washington than of Nauta. Obviously Woerner isn't the blocker that Nauta is, but looking at Coley's offenses at Miami, that's probably going to be ok. I'd also expect a run/pass balance closer to something like 57/43, where as Chaney's last two were both 60/40. I know this isn't the hot take thread, but I think there's a real chance Woerner puts up better numbers this year than Nauta did a season ago. And that probably catches the eyes of Gilbert and Washington, who would like to be used in a similar role.
Woerner is not a straight ahead blocker but I think he is great at blocking when he's in motion.
I say sleeping on him because people are already talking about needing to get Seither involved early as an offensive weapon. Or am I wrong and everyone is assuming he’ll ball out this season so that’s why he’s not talked about much?
any news on Ringo?
