Few TE are good at both
Jarwin is much more of a modern TE but blocking isn’t always about moving a guy out so much as just walking him off
Just impede his angle to the play can be effective and I think jarwin has improved his blocking enough.
I think we see more finesse and less brute strength from our blockers this year
More creativity, less predictable
It’s about creating holes and if you give the D more things to think about it slows their reaction and then just a slight block can prevent a guy from filing that hole
Frankly i think Jarwin is H-back more than he is a TE.
He's more of a buffed up big WR than he is an pile moving TE.
With Garrett era, maybe he was expected to be Geoff Swaim "
combo " blocker as with Witten, Hanna, Swaim, and selective others, Garrett expected his TEs to be dual receive/in-line blockers, such that
he requires them to occasionally pass block DEs in line,.. and that's when i've seen Blake get blown up and
air-lifted up into the air.
That's why i think the MM era will have to limit and scheme his keys and blocking assignments to what he
can better handle physically. Now he will have to be an acceptable " position-shield blockers but It's his catching ability and movement skills that is gonna be his strengths and the part of his game that is gonna help this team the most.
