[Shuff]

yes!

Witten getting cut? It appears we found his replacement.

 

[viman96]

Birds really wanted Moore so they did this to avoid having to trade for him

TE
Blake Jarwin
Analysis
Strengths
Used everywhere -- in-line, as a wing, from the slot, and split wide. Smooth acceleration into routes. Operated underneath for Oklahoma State, but has the athleticism to threaten downfield. Crisp in his route work. Snaps routes off quickly and works back to the throw. Tough over the middle and fights for contested catches. Good flexibility to twist and adjust to throws. Excellent leaper who can go get it. Focus drops from 2015 became catches in 2016. Immediate north-south runner after the catch. Can drag tackles for extra yardage. Instinctive lead blocker who makes good reads. Can adjust to moving targets on second level.
Weaknesses
More of a pre-snap squat than a pre-snap stance with legs very wide. Inconsistent blocker when asked to play in-line. Play strength needs work; can be tossed around at point of attack. Needs to activate hands as second-level blocker rather than relying on light shoulder checks. Takes poor angles to edge rushers when asked to pass protect. Lack of getaway burst after the catch limits his playmaking potential. Limited production as pass catcher over last three years.
Draft Projection
Round 6-7
Bottom Line
Unexciting statistical production belies his potential as a pass-catcher on the next level. He has the necessary athleticism, uncover, and toughness to work both the first and second levels of the defense. Jarwin needs work in the weight room and as a blocker in order to handle reps as an NFL tight end. He has eventual starter potential and should find a spot on a roster as a rotational tight end with the potential to play in-line and on the move.

Well, everyone got their wish. And that includes me.

I think we’ve seen the end of the Moore era {silent chuckle}

Addition by subtraction.

What the heck is wrong with Rico? What a matchup nightmare..

Retirement?

Can we have a moment of silence for Kellen Moore, I mean he did save our season last year by getting hurt. He'll always have a special place in my heart because him getting hurt put Dak in the position to be the starting QB.

 

[Bigdog]

Is Floaty ok? Has anyone checked with him?

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

Someone check on Linehan. He’s probably not taking this well.

This is more a problem of people not reading the 100s of posts on Rico.

He is not eligible to come off IR until Week 9.

 

[LucaBrasi]

The Eagles wanted Jarwin. Interesting

Yeah you caught me. I didn't read the 100s of posts related to when Rico was coming off IR. Congrats! LOL

 

[Trouty]

WOOT!!!

Floatyworm, come and get your hug, shnookums

 

[Preoccupied]

Released, that's Christmas ruined.

He and Floaty are hugging in the fetal position.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Don't get to excited about KM getting released... We have seen it before and he finds his way back.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Why didn't we trade him for an 8th round draft pick?

Stupid Jerry!
