cale Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I can't help thinking that the way the coaching staff wants this O to work, we need to get our TEs involved in pass catching as much as blocking. No one respects them in the passing attack. About damn time they earned their pay. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 we only have 1 TE. i saw nufelds(sp) miss a block and drop a few passes. campbel can cetch, but cant cetch a bullet. i would like to see him get 4 cetches a game. but the most important thing is blocking in a 2 TE set.

Guest Guest Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Give Euhus a chance. What is the point of having a tight end on the field that can't catch a pass? You might as well put an extra O-lineman out there. I was so irate when Neufeld dropped that 3rd down pass; same for Campbell when the ball bounced off his numbers. You can't play winning football and have that. How I long for the days when Jimbo would have run those guys off the team for dropping such easy passes. These guys need a fire under their a$$es - there is no excuse for dropping those passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 i just realized you ment MIA, as in missing in action, and not Miami. I didnt open the thread for quite a while because i thought you were talking about a dolphins TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukester Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Is Byron Chamberlain, cut earlier by the Broncos, still out there? He might be perfect for this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it wouldn't have been enough for the 1st down anyway. And don't write him off because he dropped one pass - he did really well in the preseason, especially against Tennessee. As for Campbell's drops, not sure what's up with that. He dropped a couple in the preseason too. However, both Campbell and Neufeld blocked really well IMO in the two TE sets. Trust me, if Euhus was ready to go, the coaches would put him out there. My guess is he just isn't ready yet. And he seems a lot slower than Neufeld and Campbell IMO. I wonder how much time the TEs spend catching passes during practice - I'm guessing they spend more time blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have basically a scan and dump offense. Why not dump to a TE who can get some serious RAC yards. I mean our TEs are relatively athletic. I also support the sign Byron Chamberlain movement. Couldn't be any worse and certainly could be had for a vet minimum. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_dan_* Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 The only position that been overlooked longer than the O-line has been the TE position. I'd be completely shocked if we got a TE involved in the gameplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Campbell supposed to be the catching TE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
