I was begging for a blocking tight end at the deadline. The fact that they haven't addressed Schultz despicable blocking is so weird.

Jarwin is a better blocker that Schultz. Not sure how much he helps the run game. But I am sure he helps some..

Schultz must've fallen off quite a bit then. That's the first I've heard of Jarwin as being the better blocker. Schultz was supposed to be the more well rounded player.

Its not shocking. Y'all though these analysts watch all 16+ games in one sitting? Its virtually impossible.

I don't know what Schultz was in college but in the pros this year? I haven't seen much of a blocker to say if he's better or worse than Jarwin honestly. Maybe I got spoiled by watching guys like Bennett and Witten...I think our receivers block better than our tight ends.

I remember the draft talk a bit. He came out of Stanford right? Was supposed to be a good blocker and all around player. It seems the more passes he catches the less effective his blocking game becomes

Jarwin is an awful blocker. We don't have a good TE as far as blocking goes on the team. We have two good receiving TE's. The Michigan TE probably has more upside as far as blocking goes, but he is not near the receiver or Shultz or Jarwin.

Sprinkle is doing a solid job in the blocking role.

I’m sure somebody who breaks down film could argue this one way or the other. But from watching live and rewatching games, he does his job well.

This was mentioned in the thread Is Jarwin coming back or not. I am glad we are coming full circle.

Posts like this make me realize how little some of y'all know about football.

I'm no expert but Jarwin a better blocker than Schultz? C'mon...

Jarwin might be the worst blocking TE in the NFL.

No, we do not miss him. Not even a little. Some appear to be hanging on to their unwarranted Jarwin love. That ship has sailed.

Attributed to extreme weird player love. When someone buys into this, they simply cannot fathom their hero not being good at anything. I even saw people claiming stuff such as Emmit never got caught from behind and Emmit never ran out of bounds to avoid being hit. Just weird.

I have long since added Orlovsky to the very long list of talking heads to whom I pay absolutely no attention. He has said dumber things than this... but not many.. This take is easily top (bottom) 5.

It's coin flip frankly. They both suck at it. That's why we had Bell on the roster last year and why we have Sprinkle this year. Frankly Sprinkle caught everything thrown his way on Sunday so I would spend this offseason trying to figure out if he can be the 3-down tight end and move on from Schultz or Jarwin or both.. Pass catching tight ends are a dime a dozen.. Ones who can seal a DE so you can run outside are not..
