How many monster TE's has there been since the 80's?
I think most think a receiving TE with numbers is so
great but really why?Your teams WR's suck?Your TE
can't block?I'm just saying putting a taller WR at TE is
not all you think it might be.
Mark Bavaro,Tony Gonzalez,Shannon Sharpe,Gronk and
Kittle are ones that come to my mind that can block and
catch.
So the odds of the Hawks ever getting one of these were
super low..Jimmy was a great catching WR at the TE spot
and Russ couldn't pass to him very well..I remember the
passes at his knees.
In the end zone was a different story(toss it to the hoop).
As for the QB's we have now to properly use the TE's?
I believe we will be fine..Just do what Russ couldn't
Take what the D gives,use the short outs and middle of
field..It's not hard if you aren't trying to be a hero.
