I've gotten the impression that Kincaid plays more like a large wide-out than a tight-end. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

When you can't catch or run a full route tree there is; he needs to be schemed for success. We need to use his speed and elusiveness to make wins in coverage. 

 

We don't.

This is the dumbest thread in the history of TBD, and that's saying something.

That happened to my wife after a few years of marriage. She went from a tight end to a large wide out.

He probably lost weight due to his injury.  The problem is naturally putting on 20 lbs. of muscle take a lot of time.   Not four months.

Hoecht and Ogunjobi can get the boy right.

At 6'4" 240 combined with his frame, that's not very thick.

 

Sam laporta is 6'3 245 and looks a whole lot bigger

 

240 at his size is tiny. 

Here's Laporta in shorts in training camp last year. How is this a whole lot bigger?

This has to be a photo from LaPorta in high school. Sheesh

The issue I have with Kincaid so far is that when he is split out wide, a safety or CB neutralizes him easily. When he is lined up in line, he has more success on routes where a LB needs to pick him up. But he can't block, so you can't rely on him in the run game like you can with Knox. Coming out, he was touted as a complete player who catches everything and can block, but that wasnt really the case last year. 

 

The good news is he stands to benefit from another year in the system, removed from his injury, and with Cook emerging as a talented back.

Dalton is a good TE. Just  needs to get healthy. 448 yards in 13 games last season was because he was hurt. Give the dude a break. Big things coming....

Wow, who'd have thought Kelvin Benjamin was actually marriage material?!

Kincaid is the most overrated player on the team

 

(make me eat these words Dalton!!)

 

I don’t expect much from him

A lot of the scouting reports I read on him was he was a willing blocker which is a nice way of saying he's a below average backer for a TE.  Even on passing plays inline physical defenders can make contact with him at the line throwing  off the timing of his route.  I think that's why Beane mentioned him getting stronger in the off-season.  He could be a match up nightmare if he puts on some muscle.  It would help him in both blocking and receiving when lined up inline.

Looking like they should have stayed and picked LaPorta.  Still has time to add weight but doesn't look great.  Maybe worked on getting the knee right and hasn't had the ability to add good weight.  

A better option may have been to make an offer for tight end T.J. Hockenson in 2022 when the Lions made him available. Division foe Minnesota Vikings got him from for a 2nd and 3rd the following year. 

I'm still not sure what the issue was with the Hockenson/Lions relationship. I thought he was a decent TE.

Always criticizing what these guys look like in bad photos from training camp and offseason workouts. Dawkins and now Kincaid, too. Even Josh Allen.

 

It doesn't matter what they look like in shorts.

an inch shorter and 5 lbs heavier will make a guy look bigger. There no way in hell he's 220 at 6'4".
