thewildrabbit Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Last game against the Dolphins Chandler had 6 targets, 5 catches for 71 yards.This was the most this season for Chandler. My questions is...WHY ONLY SIX passes his way? I know Gailey is not known for utilizing his TE much and it seems like Chandler is only seeing about half the offensive plays where he is involved in the passing scheme. But just double his total targets at 12, 10 catches for 140 yards and holy crap an actual passing threat for the entire game I just don't get why he isn't more involved in the offense as a primary target! Yea he stays in to block for running plays, and is on the field for a lot of the offensive plays, just not as the primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Underutilized? Absolutely. I wish they'd go crazy and even use a two TE set and working over the linebackers. You manage possessions and wear out the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 He has great coordination for a guy his size. You have to try and get him the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 totally agree with everything you said. I think the bigger question is, can Gailey adjust? I respect him because I know he is focused and hard working at his craft, but the game is changing, and as a coach you got to keep up, and tweak some things that might have worked in the past. I just hope he can adjust, and that def. means getting Chandler more involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense that you finally have a TE who can catch the ball and you pretty much ignore him. Belichek would have Brady looking for Chandler continually.
