Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I belive Sweeney is going to be the #1 TE on this team in the next season or two. Heath Miller ish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Well based on Lee's contract it will not be for this year. I was warned a number of times that mentoring others on the job would cost me my job and they were right but I keep doing it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I like Sweeney. I think he is more than a blocking TE. Not saying he’ll be an All Pro but I think he is better than where he was drafted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Brett Favre saying “it’s not MY job to teach him how to play.” I understand that to some degree, but I can also see how a high quality individual will do everything possible to make the team better. Want to make the playoffs? What if they get hurt and sit for 3 games? This tells you something about the, ummmm.....character stuff we hear about. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I loved this article so much. Lee Smith is the man. Best quote? "I promise you one thing right now: Tommy Sweeney is not just a blocking tight end. Maybe I am but he’s not. The kid can run, he gets in and out of his breaks - I mean he’s not making plays against the threes out here, he’s playing plays against the ones. That’s our one defense and they were second in the league, if I’m not mistaken. He’s a good football player in both aspects of the game and he works his butt off." 7 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Everyday that passes, Croom's days as a Bill gets closer to the end. Once everyone is healthy I really only see Kroft, Knox, Sweeney and L Smith on this team. Highly doubtful we keep 5.

It does seem Croom’s days are coming to an end but I believe he will catch on in a hurry somewhere. The kid seems like he could be a weapon in the passing game.

Agreed, but “blending in” also means not conspicuously sucking by whiffing on blocks, etc. Clay struck me as awful at both blocking and pass catching last year. There’s something to be said for being competent as a blocking TE too. Croon is no blocker either. More of a big receiver. And O’Leary? No. I guess what I’m saying is two cheers for Lee Smith.

Welcome back, buddy. Croom and O’Leary were are mostly useless as receivers too. Hey if Lee could take 9 million from Beane at this point in his career as a one dimensional (not the receiving type) TE, well, God bless him.
