I am disappointed in Schultz's blocking, it is supposed to be his strength. It wasn't horrid or anything but some missed assignments and such.
They were productive because our QB's kept dumping it off to them, safety valves. I want to see them in a real game with Zeke, Dak and the OLine. I think they will be sufficient when it comes to it but nothing special.
That's what I think, too. They'll be an afterthought in the passing game when teams have to worry about Elliott up front and the speedier WRs downfield. It looks like we're going to run more picks, I mean, rub routes with the shifty slot WRs. The TEs will be safety valves, but they'll keep the chains moving if they Jarwin doesn't fumble it.
I also think Dak likes Jarwin like he likes Lenoir, and we're just not seeing a lot of it because they're not running the two TE sets early in the games when Dak's playing.
I do worry about the blocking in the 2 TE sets a bit, though. I agree on Schultz. He's been pretty disappointing. Maybe it's just a matter of things slowing down and him getting stronger, but it's tough to justify two developmental TEs on the roster. And Rico's got huge issues blocking, but he sure looks like a weapon in the red zone and a guy who could develop into an impact player if he could just figure it out. I don't normally like players who don't get it, but in his case it's hard to tell if its inexperience or a lack of focus on what's important. I lean towards lack of focus--mostly because Witten seemed to sleight Rico in favor of Jarwin, and that means to me that Rico wasn't working hard enough off the field. But, man, he does look like he could be a real player someday when he's catching the ball.
