October 24, 200520 yr comment_175602 I see where they are trying to use Perry as the release instead of one of our TEs. If we had one good TE that can block and catch Carson gets at lest one of those TDs in the first qtr plus a good number of catches from the TE all through the game. Schobel is a non-factor, Kelly and Stewart just block and really aren't receiving threats but we all knew this coming in. We all were hoping Schobel would step it up but he hasn't and ML will be getting a new one this next draft. I like Pope from Georgia and Fasano from ND both have good hands and know how to block.

Pollack went out of the game before the 2nd quarter even ended, and he still had the same stats as Landon. Report

We DO need a tight-end....we have problems in the red zone and on 3 and short....It may not work into Bratt's scheme but BRATT needs to work it in somehow.. We have a great offense but if we had a dependable TE, we could convert in these areas and get a lead early...we control the game...make them throw! Heath Miller ate us up...he was WIDE open almost all day long... I was also believing that our front line could do the job but I'm jumping on with the rest and I believe we need a couple "PLUGS" up front...we definately need a couple physical wide bodies... we definately need Madieu back and someone better to compliment him....

October 24, 200520 yr Author comment_175613 Since ML is having to change the tires while going 60 mph he can't redo everything at once and I think most of us agree he has done a great job since he has been here. But he knows we still have wekanesses but being the coach he is he will never say it. Landon is OK but gets whipped on the outside, Pollack plays that stronger and hopefully Caleb will be a big help. Youth in a lot of key spots and it showed yesterday but they will get better. I am wondering why Sean Smith didn't play yesterday since he seems to be one of the few that gets penetration and can plug the middle. Also I wonder when we can expect to finally see Askew contribute or is he still a project or bust. However, back to the main topic about the TE, we have three of them that are probably average or below at best. Report

October 24, 200520 yr comment_175661 I mentioned this before the draft and caught hell for it as well.... This and that about Brat's system....he CANT be that clueless or maybe he is?....Someone else mentioned Landon Johnson covering the TE.....Madieu would be doing that but we all know where he's at....What we need worse than anything is a DT that can actually get some penetration instead of getting knocked back 3-5 yards every snap.

October 24, 200520 yr Author comment_175670 Agree that we need to be able to stuff the run and that is probably highest priority right now. But if our strategy is to take teams out of the run mode by jumping up on them or forcing them to throw more because of our offensive capability then a stud TE makes us even more dangerous and could help in this game philosophy.

October 24, 200520 yr comment_175678 In FA/Draft we need the following to close the holes on this team. Saftey (maybee two for depth) Big Fat Athletic DTs (def two for depth) and MAYBEE another Linebacker that has some strength Oh and a Pass Rushing DE. Thats it, were not that far off from being an great team. The holes are few, but I dont doubt in time they will be filled. Marvin wants to build through the draft and that takes longer than building through FA. Were alot like Indy, and it took Dungy a while to get the D fixed as well. Report
