Noah Fant

Thought this needed to be pointed out. This man cannot block. He just stands there while the play is happening. Why is Dissly not in there blocking in the backfield instead?

Dissly getting paid a lot of money for basically doing nothing...Parkinson is the best te on the roster.

We have TEs?

On paper

Our TEs feel deep, but as a whole end up being disappointing. I'd like to see someone do a film breakdown of what's going on there: are our TEs not as good as we think or are they being used wrong?

Parkinson is the best offensive TE on the team for sure, but they need somebody besides Fant in the backfield to block. Dissly is the best option there.

Can we get Homer back? Lol

The TEs are being under utilized. The game plan that was brilliant against the Lions has been MIA since

This has been Seattles MO since 76' though to be honest.

Not utilizing offensive players seems to have become a regular issue, going back to Jimmy Graham.

Serious questions do need to be raised, especially after a loss, to simple things like this issue raised by Pitt.

Fant is a receiving tight end, yet he's hilariously under utilized in that department.

Expanding on that issue, but not intended to derail the thread, is not utulizing other weapons. Routinely lining up DK on the left side of the field, not getting it to JSN between the numbers, not having ZC in during short yardage, not utilizing Dissly's skill set, overall lack of motion, not finding plays for Bobo, etc

I understand it's a tall ask, but these are some talented skill players we have here, yet it seems like Waldron spent all off season designing that sloppy pistol set with the two tight ends in the backfield rather than finding ways to move the ball successfully and creatively.

Fant was finally used in the game winning drive against the browns. It worked. Why not try it again? Befuddles.

It would take actually ADJUSTING to figure out that we have some damn good TE's on this team. Instead, Pete and his coaching staff will just do it their way and tell us "It's not about them, it's about us"
All while we continue to see them get outcoached, outclassed and very much out adjusted.

Reminds me of last season when they started out the first few games with a lot of motions and tempo, then for some reason went back to vanilla offense.
