LSHMEAB Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Based on both this thread and the Anderson thread, I gotta say "vet presence" is really overrated. I guess it's good if you have one of those guys on both sides of the ball. NOT AT EVERY POSITION. Gore/McCoy/Morse on offense/Lorax on defense can provide leadership. That's enough. Put the best players on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one who has watched him play has compared him to Gronk. He’s more of a Zach Ertz type. Edited May 11, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 He was slow and a terrible pass catching TE a few years ago, I'm sure hes only slower now lol Guessing hes in competition with Fisher for that pure blocking TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Don’t see the point in even looking at Smith unless we owed his agent a favor or something. If we want a decent all around TE then we could go after Rudolph after Minny releases him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher should be the first "TE" to go... He couldn't block DE's one-on-one. He won't be doing that as a TE. I'd rather have him than Smith if they're just looking for just a blocking TE and judging by the lack of interest in Smith, it's not like they can't add him later. But if they can sign him for the minimum and no signing bonus, like Fisher, no big deal. Let them compete and cut whomever later. As for Knox, he was playing with Brown, Metcalf and Lodge.

The reason he’s compared to Ertz are his traits. He doesn’t have Gronk’s size/speed which is what makes him such a unicorn.

3rdand12 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 no reason not to take look. Plenty of reasons not to sign. Have not followed him since gone from Bills But i do wish Bills kept him. Very willing blocker. and he did catch what was thrown at him generally. just could not outrun anyone. He could have a role in Dabolls offense. all depending on what the other Guys look like. Hopefully all that Croom koolaid we read form obd was true. still need a lunch pail TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
